Available settings:

TRI (triangle):

The sound will be modulated continuously. This is a

frequently-used waveform, and is suited for effects

such as vibrato.

SIN (sine wave):

The sound will be modulated smoothly.

SAW (sawtooth wave):

When the sound reaches the upper value, it will return

to the original position and begin rising again.

SQR (square wave):

The sound will be modulated as if it were being

switched between two positions.

TRP (trapezoid wave):

The sound will be modulated as if it were being

switched between two positions. The curve at the tran-

sitions differs from square wave.

S&H (sample & hold):

This setting causes the sound to change unpredictably,

and is suitable for creating sound effects.

RND (random):

This setting causes the sound to change unpredictably,

and is suitable for creating sound effects.

CHS (chaos):

This setting causes the sound to change unpredictably

without regard to frequency, and is suitable for creat-

ing sound effects.

* When CHS (chaos) is selected, the LFO rate setting will

be ignored.

Adjusting the Speed of

Modulation (LFO1 Rate)

HereÕs how to adjust the modulation speed of LFO1.

1. Press [FUNC] to make the indicator blink.

2. Rotate the [RATE] knob to adjust the LFO1

rate.

fig.3-55

Range: 0Ð127

As the knob is rotated further clockwise, the sound

will be modulated more rapidly. As the knob is rotate

further counterclockwise, the sound will be modulat-

ed more slowly.

When LFO Tempo Sync (p. 53) is ÒON,Ó you can speci-

fy this parameter in terms of a note value.

Range:

At this time, rotating the knob toward the right will

cause the sound to be modulated more slowly.

fig.3-57

* LFO Rate settings are common to PITCH (pitch), FIL-

TER (brightness) and AMP (volume). The rate cannot be

set independently for these three.

Adjusting the Depth of

Modulation (LFO1 Depth)

For each parameter, you can adjust the depth of the

LFO effect.

Range: -63Ð+63

Increasing this value in the positive (+) direction will

create increasingly greater change. Increasing this value

in the negative (-) direction will invert the waveform,

causing the change to occur in the opposite direction.

fig.3-61

Adjusting the depth of pitch modula-

tion (LFO1 Pitch Depth)

By cyclically modulating the pitch you can create a

vibrato effect.

1. Make sure that the [FUNC] indicator is

dark.

2. Press [ENV SELECT] several times to select

PITCH.

3. Rotate the [DEPTH] knob to adjust the

vibrato depth.
