PLS (pulse wave):
NOISE:
0–127 Depth specifies the depth to which the LFO will modulate the pulse width of
the pulse wave. This creates a distinctive cyclic tonal change. Higher settings
produce a deeper effect.
0–127 Specifies the width of the pulse. Higher settings produce a narrower pulse
width.
