[LFO] knob
This knob adjusts the modulation intensity, when you use the modulator signal from the LFO section to control the fundamental
frequency (pitch) of the OSC.
The method of change depends on the setting of the [WAVE FORM] knob in the LFO section.
Mixing the output from the oscillator (source mixer)
Four waveforms are always output from the OSC, and you can mix their levels in the ratio you like. The source mixer output is sent
to the FILTER section.

Selecting the output waveform for the sub-oscillator (SUB OCT)
This shows how to select the sub-oscillator output waveform.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [SUB OCT] pad.
2. Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value.

Selecting a noise output waveform (Noise Mode)
Here's how to select the noise output waveform.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [15] (MENU).
2. Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select "nS. N d" (Noise Mode), and press pad [2] (ENTER).
3. Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value.
