25 Pulse 2 User Manual
• The Sine shape is best suited for oscillator or pan
modulations.
• The Triangle (TRI) shape is perfect for smooth
pitch, filter or volume modulations.
• The Sawtooth (SAW) shape can generate inte-
resting filter or volume changes.
• The Square (SQR) shape can be interesting for
hard pan modulations or special effects
• S&H (Sample & Hold) samples a random value
and holds it until the next value is generated. If
Speed
is set to 0, a random value is generated
on each new note.
For LFO 1 there is an additional Clocked mode, which is
used to synchronise the LFO Speed to incoming or in-
ternal clock. Therefore LFO 1 can follow a given song
tempo and all tempo changes are recognised, too.
• C SIN creates a sine wave.
• C TRI creates a triangle wave.
•
C SAW creates a sawtooth wave.
• C SQR creates a square wave.
• C S&H creates sample & hold values.
Delay (only LFO 2) OFF / 0...127
Delay delays the start of LFO oscillation after an in-
coming MIDI note has been received.
w
The amount delay before oscillation sets in de-
pends on the parameter setting for ENV F Trig-
ger
; in other words, the trigger mode of the filter
envelope. In the two Single Trigger modes, LFO 2
oscillation is not delayed at all when you play le-
gato notes. Use this effect for typical keyboard
solos.
Glide
"Glide" describes the continuous gliding from one note
to another. This effect can be created on fretless stringed
instruments or brass instruments. It is very common on
synthesizers and used throughout all music styles.
