KingKORG NEO Parameter Guide
s53~62: LFO1, LFO2
Each timbre contains two LFOs. An LFO produces a cyclic change that can be
used to modulate the pitch, tone, or volume of the sound.
TIP: By assigning LFO1 or LFO2 as sources for a virtual patch, you can use them to modulate a
variety of parameters (→ p.12).
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) is an oscillator with a low (slow) rate.
It is typically used to apply a vibrato effect (use LFO to raise and lower the
pitch), wah effect (use LFO to raise and lower the cutoff frequency), or tremolo
effect (use LFO to raise and lower the volume).
You can select LFO as a Virtual Patch source, select the desired parameter as
the destination, and apply modulation to produce various effects. The
KingKORG NEO provides special parameters that can be modulated from an
LFO.
For LFO1, these parameters are the "Filter" page parameters LFO1ModInt and
LFO1&JS-Y. For LFO2, they are the "Pitch" page parameters LFO2ModInt and
LFO2&JS+Y.

This specifies how the LFO will be applied to a voice when note-on occurs.
Off:
The LFO phase will not be reset when note-on occurs.
Note on
Timbre:
The phase of the LFO will be reset by the first note-on that occurs from a
condition of no keys being held; it will not be reset for subsequently played
voices.

Specifies whether the LFO cycle will be synchronized to the internal tempo or
to an external MIDI Clock.
Off:
The LFO will not be synchronized. It will function at the frequency
specified by the Freq. parameter.
On:
The LFO will be synchronized to the [TEMPO] knob or to MIDI Clock
messages from an external device.
If TempoSync is "On," selecting "LFO1Freq" or "LFO2Freq" as a Dest in
the "V.Patch1–6" page will have no effect.

This specifies the LFO rate as a ratio of the Tempo setting in the "Arp" page.
The length (note value) you specify here will be one cycle of the LFO.
For example if this is set to 1/4, one cycle of the LFO will occupy one beat. If
this is set to 3/4, one cycle of the LFO will occupy three beats.
The settings in this page are available if TempoSync is "On".

V .Patch4,V .Patch5, V .Patch6
To let you create even more sophisticated sounds, the KingKORG NEO
provides six virtual patches. Each patch consists of three parameters: the
source of the modulation (Src), the destination to which that modulation will
apply (Dest), and the intensity of that modulation effect (Int). You can produce
a variety of changes in the sound by combining these parameters. For
example by setting Src to "LFO2", "Dest" to "Cutoff", and specifying the amount
of effect using Int, you can produce a cyclic change in tone (wah effect)
produced by LFO2.
Virtual Patch
On modular analog synthesizers, the input or output of each module (oscil-
lator, filter, amp, EG, LFO, and other controllers) could be connected
("patched") by a patch cord to any other module as desired, allowing you a
great deal of freedom in creating the sound. The Korg MS Series (MS-20,
MS-50, MS-10, etc.) went on sale in 1978 and featured this type of patching.
The KingKORG NEO lets you perform this patching "virtually" (i.e., without
using physical patch cords), so you can assign sources such as EG or LFO to
the most important parameters (destinations).
