FEEDBACK:
One operator in each of the 8 algorithms has its output fed
back
to
its
input.
This
is the feedback
operator.
The
amount
of feedback
applied can be adjusted over a range
of 0 to 7. By increasing the FEEDBACK
level the harmon-
ics are increased, resulting in the generation of noise-like
sounds.

LFO SFEED
SPEED:
The speed (frequency) of the LFO can be set from O to
99, O is the slowest L FO speed while 99 is the fastest.
DELAY:
This creates
a delay
between
initial
key closure and ap-
plication of LFO modulation.
A setting of O results in no
delay — LFO modulation begins the instant a key is pressed
— and a setting of 99 creates the longest delay.
PMD/AMD:
Pressing this key alternately switches to PMD
and AMD.

PMD (Pitch Modulation Depth):
Varies, over a O to 99 range, the depth of LFO modulation
applied to pitch. A O setting produces no pitch modulation,
and a setting of 99 produces maximum modulation.
The PMD
function
is separate from the effect of the con-
trollers, and can be used to apply vibrato effects that are
entirely independent of the controller settings.
AMD (Amplitude Modulation Depth):
Varies, over a O to 99 range, the depth of LFO modula-
tion applied to amplitude. A O setting produces no ampli-
tude modulation, and a setting of 99 produces maximum
modulation.
The AMD function is separate from the effect of the con-
trollers, and can be used to apply tremolo effects that are
entirely independent of the controller settings.
* MODULATION SENSITIVITY
MOD
SENS.
PITCH/ AMP
This adjusts the sensitivity (depth) of pitch and amplitude
modulation. This parameter must be greater than O before
any amplitude or pitch modulation can be applied.
Be sure to check this parameter before using the modula-
tion wheel or other controllers.
