LFO parameters: page 2
Control knob Parameter Range Description
1 Steps 2-64 Specic LFO points can be selected and dened
2 Smooth 0-127 Slows waveform changes
4 One-Shot O, On On = LFO completes 1 cycle and stops
7 SemiLock O, On Displays steps in semitone amounts inside the
Step Edit page
8 Step Edit.. (access) Enters the Step Edit page
Three of those parameters are hidden for most LFO waveform selections, so we’ll describe the
other two rst.
Smooth
Also known as “slew”, this parameter softens
the transitions from one amplitude of an
LFO to the next. When a waveform with
abrupt changes is selected (Saw, Square,
S&H, Step) the Smooth parameter makes the
LFO “glide” between adjacent values. At the
highest setting the square and triangle LFO
waveforms are identical.
One-Shot
An LFO will run its course only once if this
parameter is set to On. For example, it could:
• allow a single warble from a sine wave LFO
• introduce a short burst of chaos from the
Noise waveform
• run the Step LFO sequence one time, etc.
“Step LFO sequence?” Let’s discuss that feature
next.
The Step LFO
The Step LFO lets you dene up to 64 stages
through which the LFO will pass. Its parameters
are only available when the LFO Wave selection
is set to Step. After that, three more parameters
appear on Page 2: Steps, SemiLock, and Step
Edit.
Those are described briey in the previous
chart, and we’ll cover SemiLock more
thoroughly in the next section. Let’s walk
through an example with SemiLock O for now.
1. Press [INIT] twice to initialize the patch
2. Hold [LFO 1] and press [OSC 1] to create
a mod route
3. Use Control knob 6 to set Depth to 128.0
4. Access [LFO 1]
5. Use Control knob 1 to select the Step
wave
6. Select page 2 with the Page down arrow
7. Notice that the Steps value is set to 8.
Leave it there for now.
8. Use Control button 8 to access the Step
Edit page
9. Notice that steps 1, 2, and 3 are set to
60.0, -60.0, and 0.0, respectively. Note:
Multiples of 5 provide specic pitches,
but intermediate values can be used
10. Hold a note. Three octaves of the same
pitch will play. The third pitch is longer
because the last six steps are set to the
same value.
11. Keep holding the note and notice that
the 8-step sequence repeats.
12. Enter values on the other steps to see
how that aects the Step LFO output.
Now that you know your way around the Step
LFO, let’s dive deeper.
SemiLock
SemiLock displays the steps inside the Step
Edit page in semitone values. This makes
it easy for an LFO to play standard 12-tone
pitches. Let’s try an example with SemiLock
On this time.
1. Press [INIT] twice to initialize the patch
2. Hold [LFO 1] and press [OSC 1] to create
a mod route
3. Use Control knob 6 to set Depth to 128.0
4. Access [LFO 1]
