The large knob indicates the rate of the LFO, while the
MOD LVL knob indicates the master modulation amount
the LFO exerts on the functions it is assigned to.
The LFO can be assigned to all of the voice parameters.
In order to do this, press the MOD button – you have
now entered the MOD menu for LFO assignment.
Above the bottom sequencer row, you can see the
modulation destinations on the left side (step buttons
1-8) and the modulation depth percentages on the right
side (step buttons 9-16).
Once in the MOD menu, each sequencer row represents
a voice – the brightest illuminated step LED in each row
indicates the currently selected assignment destination,
while less-illuminated steps indicate other destinations
within the same voice the LFO has been assigned to.
Select a destination by pressing step keys 1-8, and by
pressing step keys 9-16 enter the modulation depth –
the maximum is 80% and to turn off the depth (thus
unassigning the LFO from the destination), press the
step button representing 10% and press it again – the
LED will turn off. You can also clear all modulation
destinations per-voice by pressing and holding CLEAR
while pressing the respective voice tap key.
To exit the MOD menu, press the MOD button again.
An example to the left shows a modulation assigned to
the tune of the first voice at 50% depth. The modulation
settings are saved within the KIT!
The PĒRKONS has a built-in modulator – an LFO with a selectable waveform – there are seven waveforms to choose from and these are indicated with symbols printed around the WAVE knob.
