Parameter guide

1st Note: The phase of the LFO will be reset at the ﬁrst note-

on that occurs when no other keys are being pressed, and

will continue to affect all the notes played by that timbre in

the same way, until once again no keys are being held down.

Each Note: The phase of the LFO will be reset for each

individual note-on, and each voice will be modulated at an

independent phase.

5–4(5)b: Frequency MIDI/Tempo Sync.

MIDI/Tempo Sync. [Off, On]

Speciﬁes the LFO frequency. This lets you produce vibrato,

wah, auto-pan, or tremolo effects that are synchronized to

the modulation sequencer, KARMA, the internal sequencer,

or an external sequencer.

On (checked): The LFO frequency will synchronize to the

speciﬁed tempo (MIDI clock). Use the Base Note parameter

below to specify the LFO speed. The Frequency setting is

ignored.

Off (unchecked): The LFO speed will be determined by the

Frequency setting, and will not be affected by the tempo

setting.

If MIDI/Tempo Sync is On, setting a virtual patch

modulation destination (Dst) to LFO1 (LFO1 Freq) will

have no effect.

Base Note (Sync. Base Note) [8/1… ]

Speciﬁes the LFO frequency as a note value based on the

tempo. This is shown and can be edited if MIDI/

TempoSync. is On.

Relative to the tempo, the length of the note value speciﬁed

here will be one cycle of the LFO. For example if this is set to

 each cycle of the LFO will occupy one quarter note.

5–6: MSEQ1,

5–7: MSEQ2,

5–8: MSESQ3

Here you can make settings for the modulation sequencer.

Here you can:

• Specify the number of steps, the type, and playback

method for a modulation sequence.

• Select the parameter that will be modulated, and specify

the value of each step.

5–6(7)(8)a: SEQ Common

These parameters are common to SEQ1, SEQ2, and SEQ3.

MOD SEQ On (Modulation Sequencer On)

[Off, On]

Switches the modulation sequencer on/off.

Last Step [01…16]

Speciﬁes the length of the sequence in steps (i.e., the

maximum number of steps).

Sequence Type [Forward, Reverse, Alt1, Alt2]

Speciﬁes the sequence type (the direction in which the

sequence will play).

Forward: Play from the first step (Step01).

Reverse: Play from the last step (the step number specified

by Last Step) in reverse.

Alt1, Alt2: Alternately play in Forward and Reverse

directions. Alt 1 immediately changes direction at the end

points, so the first step and last steps are played only once

per loop. Alt 2 plays the first step and the last step on both

the way up and on the way down, so these steps will be

played twice per loop.
