LFO2

Pressing the key will take you to the second LFO page:

This is a simpler LFO for auxiliary modulation purposes. Whilst LFO1 is normally used for

vibrato via the modwheel or pressure, LFO2 can be used for secondary modulation

purposes such as filter sweeps, amplitude modulation, panning, etc.. As usual, the

program name is displayed in the top right hand corner. The parameters are as follows:

This selects the modulation waveform. The choices are:

TRIANGLE ( ) - This gives a rising and falling effect. At around a setting

of 75, this can be used for vibrato but can be assigned anywhere you like

and can be used for filter sweeps, panning, amplitude modulation and

slow pitch sweeps. This is a ‘bi-polar’ modulation waveform that ‘rotates’

around the note you are playing to give a natural vibrato effect.

SAWTOOTH ( ) - This waveform is used mostly for special effects. It rises

slowly and falls abruptly. This is a ‘uni-polar’ waveform that jumps between

the held note and the modulation level set at the destination. It can be

inverted at the modulation input stages of each destination to give

downward sweeps.

SQUARE ( ) - This gives stepped ‘up and down’ effect. When applied to

pitch it can be set to give trills or large octave jumps. This is a ‘uni-polar’

waveform that jumps between the held note and the modulation level set

at the destination. Like the sawtooth wave, it can be inverted at the input

stages of each destination.

RANDOM ( ) - This gives a totally random stepped waveform and is

suitable for special effects. Like LFO1’s RANDOM waveform, it can be

used to create the classic ‘sample and hold’ effect found on analogue

synthesisers.

However, the random waveform provided by LFO2 has some other

possibilities.
