Tip 34 Modulating The Pitch - Yamaha Loopfactory DX200 Owner's Manual

34
Modulating the pitch
Try using the LFO to warp the pitch — and discover some more awesome modulation effects.
1 Press [DETAIL] until "Pmd" (Pitch Modulation Depth) appears briefly in
the display.
2 Use the [DATA] knob to set the value to "0."
This is Pitch Modulation Depth. Start out with this minimum value.
3 Press [KEYBOARD] to use the keyboard, and hold down one of the keys.
As the sound sustains, slowly turn the knob clockwise. Notice how the pitch becomes less and less dis-
tinct the further you get from "0." For some Voices, the pitch may stay distinct but change radically —
over an octave or more!
Try experimenting with different LFO Speed settings, and also try holding down more than one note.
If you've come to this Tip directly from the other LFO Tips above, you may want to hear the Pitch
modulation by itself. To do this, set both Amplitude and Filter back to normal (0).
