Scaling Modules and Selecting Modulation TYPE

Here's the situation: let's say you've selected
filter cutoff frequency
will the filter be at 0Hz? You wouldn't hear anything. When the LFO is at
the top of its cycle, will the filter be at 20,000Hz? This might be what you
want, but maybe you only want the filter to cycle between 2000Hz and
3000Hz. How can we make that happen?
Here's the solution: Scaling. Before holding down the
enter a value of 2000Hz. We'll call this value the "base" value below.
Now, hold down the soft key and press
and press HOTKEY to nagivate to page two where the Scale parameter is
located. The total range of possible modulation (
frequency parameter is 0 ~ 20,000, but we only want a modulation of 3,000

In the example above, the parameter value will vary between 2,000 and 3,000 (it starts at the
base value and modulates up).

In the example above, the parameter value will vary between 1,500 and 2,500 (centering on
the base value). Note that for bipolar, the scale setting reflects the amount the parameter
will vary above and below the base value.

In the example above, the parameter value will vary between 20 and 2,000.
So, continuing our example, we would select

For a good time (or to troubleshoot), watch your parameter vary (
in this case). Neat!
