The Predator Filter LFO produces changes to the Filter
Cutoffs frequency
. You nee
d to open the
LFO
amount in the 'Filter section' to hear the results.
Often used is the sine waveform, here the Filter
Cutoff frequncy
rises up and down. But also using other
waveforms
with the LFO can be used to produce interesting results.
Predator has t
he option to "tempo base" the LFO, which makes it a great feature for changing sounds in a
musical tempo based way.
Waveform
Sine, Triangle, Saw Up, Saw Down
,
Square
and
S&H
.
Here you can set the type of wave, this modulates the Filter
Cutoff Frequency
.
Sinus
and
Triangle
are often used because they produce a modulation that goes up and down smoothly.
The other waveforms are more suitable for FX or special sounds.
Try selecting another waveform with the preset "Moving Filter", which you can find in the
first bank of
Predator, and see what it sounds like.
Speed
This controls how fast or slow the LFO is running. If the control
Sync
is set
on
then the speed is tempo
based.
Sync
If you turn Sync
on
, the Speed of the LFO will be tempo based. So it will sync
hronise with the song tempo.
To find the right setting you need to adjust the
Speed
parameter.
Mode
Poly
,
Free
and
Mono
This controls how the LFO responds when you hit one or more keys.
Poly mode
:
Each note you play has its own Filter LFO and each LFO s
tarts from the zero position.
Poly mode is useful for complex sounding Filter LFO modulation.
Free mode
:
The LFO is free running and all the notes share the same LFO.The LFO is always
running and does not reset when you press a key.
Mono mode
:
Similar
to free mode All the filter LFO s have the same value, however when you press
a key in Mono mode, all LFO s are reset to their initial start position.
Amount control
Here you can select the controller to adjust the
LFO
modulation inside the 'Filter secti
on'. This can be a
positive or a negative amount. So you can increase the modulation or decrease the modulation.
Look at preset "Moving Filter" in the first bank as an example. You can see that in this preset the Mod.Wheel
is addressed with
-
38% amount.
So
if you open the Mod.Wheel the
LFO
modulation inside the 'Filter section' will be less.
In fact with a fully open Mod.Wheel the
LFO
does not modulate the filter anymore.
This happens because the
LFO
amount in the filter is 38% and the modulation control
is set to
-
38%.
