Common LFO
Differences from LFO1/2
TheCommonLFOstartsrunningassoonasyouselectthe
Program,andonlyresetswhenyoutellittodosoexplicitly
viatheResetSourcecontrol,below.Thisisdifferentfrom
LFO1/2’s“KeySync”parameter,whichresetswheneverall
notesarereleased.
TheCommonLFO’s persistencecanbehandyifyo
uwantto
createaconstantrhythmwithanLFO,andthenplay
“underneath”thatrhythmwithoutre‐triggeringit.For
instance,youcanuseaMIDIcontrollerinyoursequencerto
resettheCommonLFOeveryfewbars,regardlessofwhat
notesarebeingplayed.
TheCommonLFOhasmostofthesamecontrolsasLFO1/2.
However,itdoesnotincludethe“Delay,”“Fade,”and“Key
Sync”settings,sincetheseonlymakesenseforper‐voice
LFOs.

Stop [Off, On]
On:InsteadoftheLFOfunctioningnormally,itwillignore
theFreqsetting.Instead,theLFOsimplygeneratesasingle
valuewhentheProgramisselected,andthenholdsthat
valueuntilyouselectanotherPro g ram,oruntilyoureset
theLFOviaAMS.
Note:ThisisdifferentfromLFO1/2,inwhi
chthevalueis
resetwitheverynote‐on.
Youcan usethisinconjunctionwiththeRandomwave‐
formstocreatestatic,randommodulation,withthevalue

Reset AMS [List of AMS Sources]
ThisselectsanAMSsourcetoresettheLFOtotheStart
Phase.TheLFOresetswhentheAMSvaluepassesthehalf‐
waymark:+50formostAMSsources,or64forMIDIcon‐

Tocreateaneffectsimilartotheper‐voiceLFO’s“Key

Offset [–99...+99]
Bydefault,almostalloftheLFOwaveformsarecentered
around0,andthenswingallthewayfrom–99to+99.This
parameterletsyoushifttheLFOupanddown,sothat–for
instance–it’s centeredon50,andthenswingsfrom–49to
