Re-select
the
FM/LAG
Page,
select
VCF
as
the
FM
DEST,
and
as
you
adjust
the
FM
AMP
while
you
are
playing
notes
on
the
keyboard,
the
effect
of
FM
on
the
Filter
will
be
heard.
Working
with
FM
A
wide
variety
of
FM-generated
sounds
can
be
produced
by
the
MATRIX-12.
There
are
six
main
components
that
interact
to
create
FM
sounds
on
the
MATRIX-
12:

LAG
As
was
mentioned
in
the
introduction
to
this
sub-section,
the
LAG
Processor
in
the
MATRIX-12
is
used
to
smooth
out
otherwise
sharp
or
instantaneous
transitions
in
a
Modulation
Source.
LAG
processing
enables
the
transition
of
any
one
of
the
MATRIX-12's
27
Sources
of
Modulation
to
diminish
from
its
start
point
to
its
end.
The
most
common
use
of
LAG
is
in
producing
Portamento,
although
as
a
separate
function,
it
can
be used
to
achieve
a
multitude
of
special
effects.
LAG
is
actually
the
equivalent
of
Portamento
or Glide
on
other
synthesizers
but
is
configured
differently
and
given
its
own
Page
for
much
greater
flexibility
in
the
MATRIX-12.
As
an
example,
Portamento
is
achieved
by
Lagging
the
note
commands
from
the
Keyboard
before
sending
this
control
to
the
VCOs.
Because
Portamento
is
a
widely
used
feature,
the
MATRIX-12
provides
an
easy
way
of
patching
it
by
including
the
LAGselect
in
Page
2
of
both
VCOs.
There
are,
however,
many
other
functions
that
can
be
performed
with
LAG,
such
as
Lagging
VELOCITY.
If,
for
example,
you
have
programmed
a
Patch
that
has
VELOCITY
routed
to
two
different
Destinations,
VELOCITY
can
be
Lagged
to
one
of
them
so
that
its
effect
will
be
different.
LAG
can
also
be
used
to
reshape
an
LFO's
waveform,
the
shape
of
an
Envelope,
the
response
of
the
LEVERs,
etc.
The
LAG
IN
simply
selects
the
Modulation
Source
to
be
Lagged,
while
the
LAG
RATEcontrols
the
speed
of
transition.

LAG
IN
This
parameter
selects
the
Modulation
Source
-
any
one
of
the
27
available
in
the
MATRIX-12
-
to
be
Lagged.
Knob
#4
is
used
to
select
the
Source
that
will
be
Lagged.
LAG
processing
that
generates
the
same
control
signal
to
produce
Portamento
can
be
used
to
alter
the
LFOs
in
order
