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.
