LFO EG
A voice consists of up to four elements. Each element consists of a driver component,
a string component, an LFO (low frequency oscillator), and an EG (envelope
generator).
These different components comprise hundreds of parameters. Among these, you
have direct access to the Quick Edit parameters and up to thirteen other parameters
assigned to the various controllers. The set of controllable parameters is different for
each voice.
The VP1 transmits data about keyboard and controller action to each element. The
elements respond by producing and outputting the appropriate sound.
Each element has three outputs: an ELEMENT output, a Direct output (no effects),
and a Send-to-effects output.
