9.2.3 Controller Section

Controller section of an LFO
This last section turns the direction of modulation around: rather than what the LFO controls,
this section is about that which controls the LFO itself. You can use the general amplitude of the
LFO (Master Depth) to scale all of the modulations that come from this LFO. Additionally, you
can change the speed of the LFO and the Sample&Hold Module. All three options are organized
under Macro Controls that you can choose in the Modulation Source menus. You will find more
info on the Macro Controls in section
Here in detail are the following parameters:
•
Modulation Source menu: Chooses the Macro Control that modulates any LFO parameter.
•
Modulation Depth control: Defines the extent of the Modulation by the Macro Control as
a percentage of the desired value.
In the bottom margin of the LFO Window you will see the Retrigger Button. It is only ap-
plicable when the LFO is in Mono Mode. As mentioned, each voice in the LFO is reset in
polyphonic mode with every new note struck. In monophonic mode, this is not the case. Here
the LFO is reset to the position set by the Phase as soon as a MIDI Continuous Controller
exceeds the value of 0. This can be caused by a sustain pedal, which the MIDI-CC values
broadcast. However, releasing the pedal has no effect. If the Retrigger button is activated,
a further Modulation Source menu appears beside it. Here you can directly choose one the
128 Continuous Controllers that the MIDI specifications put at your disposal.
