•
Modulation Depth control and Inversion switch: Determines the extent of the Modulation
by the LFO as a percentage of the desired value. The Inversion switch returns the Signal
of the LFO.
•
Target Channel Select Buttons: Selects the Channels of the Patch Windows, including the
Master Channels, the parameters of which are modulated by the LFO. Click on the Buttons
in order to select or deselect the individual channels.

9.2.2 Master Parameters Section

Master Parameters of an LFO
The Master Parameters behave almost identically to the Channel Parameters. But since they
have a global effect, you won't find here any Channel Select buttons nor Inversion switches.
Note that the second Master Parameter is set to the Panning. This type of Modulation influ-
ences the left/right position as well as the front/back position in the surround sound field.
The wave position in the front/back modulation is positioned at 90° relative to the wave posi-
tion of the left/right modulation. This produces a rotation with a sine wave. Other waveforms
produce more complex movements and curves. Waveforms with interruptions (e.g. sudden
leaps, as in sawtooth and square Waveforms) tend to be heard with at least some surprise at
first. This derives from the fact that the front/back panning reaches the interruption in the
waveform at a different point in time as the left/right panning. As a result, the position of
the sound source, for example, can make a leap from left to right while the leap to the front
from behind follows later.
You have the following setting possibilities:
•
Modulation Target menu: Selects the parameter that is to be modulated by the LFO.
Diverse effect parameters, such as the Master ADSR Controller, are at your disposal.
•
Modulation Depth control: Determines the extent of Modulation by the LFO as a percent-
age of the desired value.
