Applying Cyclic Change To The Sound (Assign 2: Lfo); Changing The Pitch Or Vibrato Depth (Assign 2: Bender) - Roland Groovebox D2 Owner's Manual

Chapter 3. About the D-FIELD

Applying cyclic change to the sound (ASSIGN 2: LFO)

fig.LFO—
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) applies cyclic change to the sound. By cyclically changing the pitch, cutoff frequency, or
volume, you can create effects such as vibrato, wah, tremolo, or auto-pan.
* There will be no effect for part R.

Changing the pitch or vibrato depth (ASSIGN 2: BENDER)

fig.BND—
Pressing the right half of the D-FIELD will raise the pitch of the current part, and pressing the left half will lower the pitch.
Pressing the upper half or lower half will apply vibrato. *This has no effect on part R.

Explanation
Select the LFO waveform.
Select the parameter that will be affected when
you move your finger to left or right.
Select the parameter that will be affected when
you move your finger upward or downward.
SAW SQR
Explanation
Select the LFO waveform.
The pitch will be cyclically modulated to produce a vibrato effect.
Positive (+) and negative (-) settings will produce inverse wave-
forms.
The cutoff frequency will be cyclically modulated to produce a
wah effect. Positive (+) and negative (-) settings will produce in-
verse waveforms.
The volume will be cyclically modulated to produce a tremolo ef-
fect. Positive (+) and negative (-) settings will produce inverse
waveforms.
The pan (stereo position) will be cyclically modulated to produce
an auto-pan effect. Positive (+) and negative (-) settings will pro-
duce inverse waveforms.
Specify the speed of modulation.
