MODULATION CONTROLS (CONTINUED)
LFO RATE
This destination modulates the rate of the other LFO (MOD 1 modulates the rate of LFO 2; MOD 2
modulates the rate of LFO 1).
VCA LEVEL
This destination allows you to modulate the amplitude level of the VCA. This is useful for creating
tremolo effects at lower LFO rates, and ring modulation effects at higher LFO rates.
OSC 1 WAVE, OSC 2 WAVE, BOTH
When any of these destinations are chosen, modulation is applied to the shape of the oscillator’s
waveform. As the waveform is modulated, the amplitudes, frequencies, and phase of the harmonics
change dynamically. Waveform modulation has no effect on the sub oscillator, which always generates
a square wave.
NOISE LEVEL
This destination modulates the noise’s mixer volume. This amount is added to or subtracted from the
NOISE level in the MIXER section.
EG TIME/PGM
This destination by default allows you to modulate the relative time of the envelope generator settings,
without affecting the envelope shape. A negative modulation amount will cause the envelope time to
shorten, while a positive modulation amount will cause the envelope time to lengthen.
This destination is also used in conjunction with the CONTROLLERS button to select from an additional
variety of programmable modulation destinations. To learn more about the MOD CONTROLLERS menu
go to page 50.
NOTE: You can quickly assign the PGM modulation destination by holding the square MOD (1/2) DEST
button while turning the knob or pressing the button of the parameter you want to set as the mod dest.
