● PULSE WIDTH LFO FRQ (1...127) :
Each oscillator has its own dedicated LFO (low frequen cy oscillator) for modulating
the pulse width of the square wave. Here you can adjust the LFO frequency. (See the
LFO Frequency Lookup Table
● PULSE WIDTH LFO DEPTH (0...127):
This controls the amount of modula tion from the aforementioned dedicated LFO. You
will need to make sure that the chosen combina tion of OFFSET and LFO DEPTH
settings does not stray beyond the usable range of modu la tion.
● AMPLITUDE SAW (0...127):
Adjusts the volume of the sawtooth wave. This is a harmonically rich waveform,
containing all the overtones of the harmonic series; the higher the frequency of the
overtone, the lower its amplitude is. This gives a bright and buzzy sound.
● AMPLITUDE SQR (0...127):
Adjusts the volume of the square wave. This waveform contains only the
odd-numbered overtones of the harmonic series. This gives a hollow sound.
● AMPLITUDE TRI (0...127):
Adjusts the volume of the triangle wave. This waveform also contains only the
odd-numbered overtones of the harmonic series but, as their frequencies increase,
their volumes taper off much more steeply than those in the square wave. This gives
a deep sound with a strong fundamental.
● AMPLITUDE VOLUME (0...127):
This is the master volume of the oscillator. Along with the individual waveform
amplitude sliders, this has an especially important role in the generation of foldover
distortion (see below).
● VCO TRANSPOSITION (-24...0...24):
Located immediately to the right of VCO1 in the Editor. This transposes all four
oscillators together in semitone steps.
Remember: You can make use of the
any other(s).

In the case of VCO3 and VCO4, this slider has some shared functionality as it also controls
parameters of the Special Flexi-only Modulation
Noise. This sharing means that there are LFOs with different scaling simultaneously assigned to the
same slider, hence a readout in Hz cannot be displayed here.

When MIDI Sync is set to "LFO4", the values of this slider (for VCO4 only) change from 0-127 to
note lengths. See the sections on
6 7
in the Appendix for details of the actual frequencies).
