However, there are occasions when you want the LFO to be free running
in the background. For example, on filter or panning sweeps where you
want the effect to be gradual as you play, you will want to switch
RETRIGGER to OFF to get this result:
MIDI NOTE ON
Here, the modulation waveform will ignore incoming note-on messages
and will be rising and falling giving you a gradual sweep through whatever
it is applied to. This is particularly useful when triangle is selected and
applied to the filter(s) as you can re-create the old filter sweep effects of
analogue synths.
RATE MOD You may modulate LFO 2’s rate with this parameter and here you may
select a controller and set the amount of rate modulation. Press the key
once to set the mod amount; press again to select the controller.
DELAY MOD You may modulate the delay time. Press once to set the amount of delay
modulation; press again to select the controller.
DEPTH MOD You may modulate the LFO’s output level here. The same principle applies
- press once to set the depth mod amount; press again to select the
controller.
MIDI CLOCK This ‘check box’ allows you to switch MIDI clock sync on or off. When it
is switched on, the LFO will only run when the sampler receives MIDI
clock signals.
CLOCK DIVISION This sets how many beats there will be for each complete LFO cycle.
This way, you can synchronise filter, panning or other sweeps with your
song. For example, with it set to 4 BEATS/CYCLE one complete LFO
cycle will take place over the space of four crotchet beats so, in a 4/4
time signature, that equates to one cycle per bar:
Triangle wave set to 4 Beats/Cycle
To set the LFO to cycle, for example, over 4 bars of a 4/4 piece, youshould
set 16 and for 8 bars, 32, etc.. The total amount is 64 beats per cycle or
16 bars.
This scheme also allows you to cater for 3/4 time signature and so, for
example, to set the LFO to have one cycle over 4 bars of a 3/4 time
signature, you would set 12 or to have two cycles every two bars, you
would set 6.
