LFO1/2
Waveform (LFO1/LFO2 Waveform)
Selects the waveform of the LFO.
Value
SIN: Sine wave
TRI: Triangle wave
SAW-U: Sawtooth wave
SAW-D: Sawtooth wave (negative polarity)
SQR: Square wave
RND: Random wave
Once the attack of the waveform output by the LFO
BND-U:
is allowed to develop in standard fashion, the
waveform then continues without further change.
Once the decay of the waveform output by the LFO
BND-D:
is allowed to develop in standard fashion, the
waveform then continues without further change.
Trapezoidal wave
TRP:
S&H: Sample & Hold wave (one time per cycle, LFO value
is changed)
CHAOS: Chaos wave
VSIN: Modified sine wave. The amplitude of a sine wave is
randomly varied once each cycle.
STEP: A waveform generated by the data specified by LFO
Step 1–64. This produces stepped change with a
fixed pattern similar to a step modulator.
If you set this to "BND-U" or "BND-D," you must turn the Key
Trigger parameter to "ON." If this is "OFF," it will have no
effect.
Rate (LFO1/LFO2 Rate) ★
Adjusts the modulation rate, or speed, of the LFO.
Value: 0–127, Note
LFO Rate sets the beat length for the synchronized tempo is
synchronized with the tempo set in a sequencer.
(Example)
For a tempo of 120 (120 quarter notes occur in 1 minute (60 seconds))
Setting LFO Rate
1 second (60 / 60 =1 (second))
(half note)
0.5 seconds (60 / 120= 0.5 (seconds))
(quarter note)
0.25 seconds (60 / 240= 0.25 (seconds))
(eighth note)
This setting will be ignored if the Waveform parameter is set to
"CHAOS."
Rate Detune (LFO1/LFO2 Rate Detune)
LFO Rate Detune makes subtle changes in the LFO cycle rate (Rate
parameter) each time a key is pressed. Higher settings will cause
greater change. This parameter is invalid when Rate is set to "note."
Value: 0–127
Offset (LFO1/LFO2 Offset)
Raises or lowers the LFO waveform relative to the central value
(pitch or cutoff frequency). Positive (+) settings will move the
waveform so that modulation will occur from the central value
upward. Negative (-) settings will move the waveform so that
modulation will occur from the central value downward.
Value: -100, -50, 0, +50, +100
Delay Time (LFO1/LFO2 Delay Time)
Delay Time (LFO Delay Time) specifies the time elapsed before the
LFO effect is applied (the effect continues) after the key is pressed (or
released).
Value: 0–127
After referring to "How to Apply the LFO" (p. 104), change the
setting until the desired effect is achieved.
When using violin, wind, or certain other instrument sounds in
a performance, rather than having vibrato added immediately
after the sounds are played, it can be effective to add the vibrato
after the note is drawn out somewhat. If you set the Delay Time
in conjunction with the Pitch Depth parameter and Rate
parameter, the vibrato will be applied automatically following a
certain interval after the key is pressed. This effect is called
Delay Vibrato.
LFO1/LFO2 Delay Time Key Follow
Adjusts the value for the Delay Time parameter depending on the
key position, relative to the C4 key (center C). To decrease the time
that elapses before the LFO effect is applied (the effect is continuous)
with each higher key that is pressed in the upper registers, select a
positive value; to increase the elapsed time, select a negative value.
Larger settings will produce greater change. If you do not want the
elapsed time before the LFO effect is applied (the effect is
continuous) to change according to the key pressed, set this to "0."
Value: -100, -90, -80, -70, -60, -50, -40, -30, -20, -10, 0, +10,
+20, +30, +40, +50, +60, +70, +80, +90, +100
