Impact
Impact punches the volume during the Þrst 20 milliseconds of the attack of an envelope. Use
this feature to get maximum "thump" from your bass and drum sounds.
Programs you create that use Impact will not work on a K2vx.
The LFO Page
These are low-frequency oscillators. YouÕll use the LFO page to deÞne the behavior of the two
LFOs available to each layer. LFOs are periodic (repeating) control sources. The basic elements
are the rate and shape, which deÞne how frequently the LFO repeats, and the waveform of the
modulation signal it generates.
With the K2vx, you can set upper and lower limits on each LFOÕs rate, and assign a control
source to change the LFOÕs rate in realtime, if you wish.
Because of its periodic nature, the LFO is perfect for creating effects like vibrato (cyclic
variation in pitch) and tremolo (cyclic variation in amplitude). When youÕre editing LFOs, or
any control source, remember that it must be assigned to control some parameter before youÕll
hear the effects of your edits.
LFO1 is always local, meaning that itÕs triggered with each Note On event, and runs
independently for each note in the layer. LFO2 is local by default, but can be made global. This
is done on the COMMON page, by setting the Globals parameter to On, which causes LFO2,
ASR2, FUN2 and FUN4 all to become global. Global controls uniformly affect every note in
each layer.

The top line of this page gives the usual mode reminder and tells you which layer youÕre
looking at. There are Þve parameters for each of the LFOs.

Minimum Rate
This is the slowest rate at which the LFO will run. When its Rate control is set to OFF, or when
the control source assigned to it is at its minimum, the LFO runs at its minimum rate.
Maximum Rate
This is the fastest possible rate for the LFO. When its Rate control is set to ON, or when the
control source assigned to it is at its maximum, the LFO runs at its maximum rate.
