At +00, the Amp LFO has no effect. Higher positive values increase the amount of
LFO modulation. Negative values give the same apparent effect, but with reversed
LFO phase (i.e., if the amplitude would normally be increasing with depth set to a
positive number, the amplitude would instead be decreasing at that same moment
had the depth been set to a negative number). Amplitude LFO parameters (such as
speed and wave shape) are programmed within the ALFO Function (see page 68).
Tip: Amplitude LFO set to a triangle wave gives tremolo effects.

Range

Each sound can be restricted to a specific range of the keyboard. This is ideal for
creating splits (e.g., bass in the lower octave and a half, piano in the middle three
octaves, and strings in the upper octave).
Lower Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8)
Specifies the lowest note of the sound's keyboard range.
High Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8)
Specifies the highest note of the sound's keyboard range.
0
C-2
Tip: By setting the lower limit above the high limit, you can create a "hole in the
middle" effect. This makes the sound appear to have two zones. All notes from the
bottom of the keyboard to the high limit note will play, and all notes from the lower
limit to the top of the keyboard will play, but the notes between the high limit and the
lower limit will not play. This can be further enhanced in Mix Mode by using the
Range function in Mix Edit Mode to cap-off the lower and high limits.
