LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
This display gives you a comprehensive set of controls over the LFO for each individual Element. The LFO
can be used to create vibrato, wah, tremolo and other special effects, by applying it to the pitch, filter and
amplitude parameters.
Wave
LFO Wave Determines the LFO waveform used to vary the sound.
Settings: saw, tri, squ
Speed
LFO Speed Set the speed of the LFO waveform. A larger setting means a faster speed.
Settings: 0 ~ 63
KeyOnSync
(KOnSyn)
LFO Key On Sync When this is set to on, the LFO waveform is reset every time a note is played.
Settings: off, on
KeyOnDelay
(KOnDly)
LFO Key On Delay Time Determines the delay time between the moment a Note On message is received to the moment the LFO
comes into effect. A higher value results in a longer delay time.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
Pmod
LFO Pitch Modulation Depth Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO waveform varies (modulates) the pitch of the sound. The
higher the setting, the greater the depth of control.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
Fmod
LFO Filter Modulation Depth Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO waveform varies (modulates) the Filter Cutoff frequency.
The larger the setting, the greater the depth of control.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
Amod
LFO Amplitude Modulation
Depth
Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO waveform varies (modulates) the amplitude or volume of
the sound. The larger the setting, the greater the depth of control.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
FadeIn
LFO Fade In Time Determines the amount of time for the LFO effect to fade in (after the “KeyOnDelay” time has elapsed).
A higher value means a slower fade-in.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
PhaseOffset (Offset)
LFO Phase Offset Determines the offset values of the “Phase” parameter (in the [VOICE] Common Edit LFO display) for
the respective Elements.
Settings: +0, +90, +120, +180, +240, +270
Dest1-3Ratio
(D1-3Rtio)
LFO Destination Ratio Determines the LFO Wave Depth.
Settings: 0 ~ 127
EQ (Equalizer)
Type
EQ Type Determines the Equalizer Type. This synthesizer features a wide selection of various Equalizer Types, which
can be used not only to enhance the original sound, but even completely change the character of the
sound. The particular parameters and settings available depend on the specific Equalizer Type that is
selected.
Settings:EQ L/H (L/H), P.EQ, Boost6 (B6), Boost12 (B12), Boost18 (B18), thru
EQ L/H (Low/High)................This is a “shelving” equalizer, which combines separate high and low frequency bands.
P.EQ (Parametric EQ)............The Parametric EQ is used to attenuate or boost signal levels (gain) around the Frequency. This
type features 32 different “Q” settings, which determine the frequency band width of the
equalizer.
Boost6 (Boost 6dB)/Boost12 (Boost 12dB)/Boost18 (Boost 18dB)
..............................................These can be used to boost the level of the entire signal by 6dB, 12dB and 18dB, respectively.
thru........................................If you select this, the equalizers are bypassed and the entire signal is unaffected.
n The available parameters differ depending on which Filter type is selected here.
