This master parameter sets
the

of
LFO modulation
for
tremolo and

type
effects, and
EG
BIAS for expression and
brilliance effects
(fig. 44)
.
This feature
works
by
varying operator output level.

the

*
In
the case
of
LFO modulation, when
applied to
a
carrier
the
result
is
tremelo, and when
applied
to
a
modulator
the result is
a
wow
effect.
The EDIT mode AMD parameter and
FUNCTION mode controller paramaters
(MODULATION
V/HEEL,
FOOT CONTROLLER,
AFTER TOUCH, BREATH CONTROLLER)
can be
used
for the
control and application
of
LFO modulation,

*
In the
case
of
EG BIAS,
if
applied
to
a
carrier the result
is
volume control,
and when applied
to
a
modulator
the
result
is
brilliance control.
The four
controllers programmable
in the
FUNCTION mode
can
be
used
to
control
and apply
EG
BIAS modulation,

operators which
are
functioning
as
carriers
the overall
level
is
determined
as
well
as the
mixing balance between operators,
V/hen
adjusted
for
a
modulator
the result
is
a
difference
in the
harmonic spectrum
generated, and therefore
a
difference
in
the timbre
of
the
sound produced,

The level set is
displayed on

Initial voice data
for OPl, for
example,
is 99,
which
corresponds
to
a
level
of
-10 dBm.
