There's a quick way to set the LFO rate: While on page 1, hold [SHIFT] and then hold
Control button 2 for the desired period of time. This works with BPM On or Off.
Some of those parameters may require additional explanation.
BPM Sync option
When the BPM Sync parameter is set to On the
LFO rates are represented by rhythmic values.
These range from 1/64T (a sixty-fourth note
triplet) to 64' (64 quarter notes, or 16 measures
in 4/4 time). Dotted values are also available.
Here are some examples of how the values are
shown:
Value Duration
64' Sixty-four quarter notes, or
sixteen measures
8' Eight quarter notes, or two
measures
1/1 Whole note, or one measure
1/16Dot Dotted sixteenth note
1/16 Sixteenth note
1/16T Sixteenth note triplet
TrigSync
This parameter governs whether an LFO resets
with each new note or operates indepen-
dently per voice.
• Poly: Each new note triggers its LFO inde-
pendently. Use this for lush pads, etc.
• Single: Each new note retriggers the LFO
of each voice.
• Off: The LFOs run freely, regardless of
when notes are triggered. An LFO could be
anywhere in its cycle when it appears.
BPM = Off: 0 ms to 32.0 seconds
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to 64' (16 bars)
BPM = Off: 0 - 5943 ms
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to 64' (16 bars)
0° - 360°
0.0 - 128.0
Phase
An LFO doesn't need to start at a zero-crossing
point. This parameter allows you to specify the
exact point at which it will begin, as measured
in degrees from zero to 360.
Level
You may wonder why this parameter is
needed, when the Mod Matrix allows you to
set a level for each modulation route. That's a
good question with a great answer.
For example, imagine that an LFO is routed
to multiple destinations in the Mod Matrix
(which is often the case). This parameter
makes it possible to adjust all of those routes
with a single edit, rather than needing to
adjust each mod route separately. The LFO
Level parameter is a fine-tune control that
allows you to dial in a modulation amount
with precision.
