REALTIME CONTROL MODULE

CONTROL 5 - Function: LFO to FILTER Fc

1. This function controls the extent to which the LFO modulates the filter cutoff frequency.
To assign this destination to the control source (selected as per GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS 6), key in 5. (To change the LFO rate and LFO variation, refer to
sections VCA/LFO 2A and 2C.)
Application: This destination is most often assigned to the Right wheel; rotating the
wheel away from you increases the amount of filter modulation ("filtrato"). Assigning this
destination to the footpedal provides foot-controlled filtrato. Slow filtrato is useful for
varying the timbre on long, sustaining sounds; fast filtrato gives a "bubbly" sound, which
can resemble that of mechanical rotating speaker systems.
Note: This function works only with Filter function 2A (LFO Amount) set at 00.
Otherwise, LFO Amount in the Filter module has priority over the wheel-assigned LFO to
FILTER Fc.
Also, LFO to FILTER Fc interacts with the filter module frequency and envelope settings.
If this function does not seem to work, check these settings.
Example: If the filter cutoff is already at maximum, you will not be able to modulate it to
any great degree.

CONTROL 6 - Function: LFO to LEVEL

1. This function controls the extent to which the LFO modulates the overall level (tremolo).
To assign this destination to the control source (selected as per GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS 6), key in 6. (To change the LFO rate and LFO variation, refer to
sections VCA/LFO 2A and 2C.)
Application hint: When assigned to the Right wheel, rotating the wheel away from you
increases the amount of tremolo. Assigning this destination to the footpedal provides
foot-controlled tremolo. Tremolo is useful for "Bo Diddley" and surf music guitar sounds,
as well as for simulating some electric piano sounds.
Note: This function is operative only if VCA/LFO function 2D (LFO to VCA) is set at 00.
Otherwise, LFO to VCA in the VCA/LFO module has priority over the wheel-assigned
LFO to LEVEL.
