The Modulation Generator (MG) is a low frequency control
oscillator used for regular, cyclic modulation of
DC0
pitch and
VCF cutoff frequency. The MG can be used for vibrato, growl,
automatic wah-wah and
olher
“repetitive” effects. MG effects
can be programmed into a given
.sound,
added during per-
formance with the Joystick, or both.
PARAMETER NAMES AND FUNCTIONS

Frequency determines the speed of the cyclic varia-

(vibrato, wah-viah. etc.).
Frequency has a range of
