Globals
This is another toggle, which affects LFO2, ASR2, and FUNs 2 and 4. When off, these four
control sources are local; they affect each individual note in the layers that use them as a control
source. They begin operating each time a note in that layer is triggered.
When the Globals parameter is set to On, these control sources become global, that is they affect
every note in every layer of the current program, not just the one to which they're applied.
When these control sources are global, they begin operating as soon as the program is selected.
When Globals are on, LFO2, ASR2, and FUNs 2 and 4 will appear on their respective pages
preceded by the letter "G" to indicate that they're global.
You'll use global control sources when you want to affect each note in a given layer uniformly,
and local control sources when you want to affect each layer's note independently. For
example, you'd use a global LFO controlling pitch to create a Leslie effect on an organ sound,
since you want the affect applied to all the notes you play. You'd use a local LFO controlling
pitch to create a vibrato for a solo violin, since you want to be able to vary the rate and depth of
the vibrato for each note.
