Assigning Switches as Control Sources

In addition to continuous controllers, you can patch switches and use them
to choose between two parameter values.
The LFO Control Source
The LXP-5 contains a low frequency oscillator (LFO). Its output can be used
as a Control Source with any parameter. The output of the LFO is a sinusoid
with peak values from 0 to 127, and a rate adjustable from 0.066 Hz to 5 Hz.
Feel free to experiment with parameters to determine which you find are
useful with the LFO as their Control Source.
Using MIDI Clock as a Control Source
MIDI tempo period patches may be made by using a MIDI clock as a Control
Source for one of the LXP-5's delay parameters. This gives you the ability
to make sync delay setups where delay times are related to LXP-5 delay
parameters. Under these circumstances the following conditions will apply:
1. The delay time is not dependent upon the base parameter value. Only
the MIDI tempo period and patch information will affect it.
2. In order to preserve an acceptable rhythmic relationship, when the
calculated delay value exceeds the maximum delay value permissible
by the LXP-5, it will be repeatedly cut in half until it is within the stated
delay parameter range.
3. When enabling a patch from MIDI LEARN Mode, the MIDI patch scale
is related to the effective note duration of the delay as shown in the
following table:
