Amount: 0...127— Sets the amount of LFO routed to the destination.
Shape: Triangle, Reverse Sawtooth, Sawtooth, Square, Random— The
waveshape of the LFO. Random (or “sample and hold”) generates a random
value that changes once per cycle.
Destination: Off, mod destination 1, mod destination 2, …— Sets the
modulation destination to which the LFO is routed. See “Modulation Destina-
tions” on page 71 for a list of possible destinations.
Sync: Off, On— When on, the LFO syncs to the beat based on multiples of
quarter notes, regardless of the time signature. R
ate
displays the values in the
following table.
Display Cycles per Quarter Note(s)
32 Qrtr One LFO cycle lasts 32 quarter notes
16 Qrtr One LFO cycle lasts 16 quarter notes
8 Qrtr One LFO cycle lasts 8 quarter notes
6 Qrtr One LFO cycle lasts 6 quarter notes
4 Qrtr One LFO cycle lasts 4 quarter notes
3 Qrtr One LFO cycle lasts 3 quarter notes
1/2 Note One LFO cycle lasts 2 quarter notes
Qrtr Dot One LFO cycle lasts 1.5 quarter notes
1 Qrtr One LFO cycle lasts 1 quarter note
Qrtr Trip Two LFO cycles every three quarter notes
8th Two LFO cycles per quarter note
8th Trip Three LFO cycles per quarter note
1/16 Four LFO cycles per quarter note
16th Trip Six LFO cycles per quarter note
32nd Eight LFO cycles per quarter note
64th Sixteen LFO cycles per quarter note
Tip: Use S
ynC
to modulate a parameter in time with a beat. For example,
for a beat in 4/4, an LFO set to a triangle wave and a rate of 16 Qrtr can
modulate the filter frequency for a sweep that repeats every 4 bars, precisely.
