You might hear the wrong pitch at rst if you hold Control button 1 and play a note to
set the semitone value for step 1. The reason: LFO1 starts as step 1 is entered, and it
restarts with every new note (unless TrigSync = O). The result: double-transposition of
the rst note. The right pitch will play when the LFO loops.
More Step LFO ideas
Here are more ways to use the Step LFO:
• The maximum Step values are +/- 64.0,
so the total range is a little wider than an
octave above and below the root pitch.
• Try using one or more oscillators with a
Step LFO and BPM set to ON. Dierent Rate
values provide interesting rhythms.
• Oscillators 1 and 2 could play step
sequences while Osc 3 drones on the root
pitch, for example.
• Use dierent values of the Steps parameter
to create odd time signatures like 5/4, 6/8,
7/8, etc.
• To hold a pitch for one or more steps, use
the same value as previous step or the next
one.
• For longer step sequences, use LFO Delay
so LFO 2 comes in for the 2nd bar (set LFO
1 to One-Shot = On).
• The Copy feature described below is very
useful here: Copy one LFO to another and
make slight changes to create counter-
point or to harmonize. Be sure to copy The
Mod Matrix (p. 78) settings also.
• You can invert a melody with mod route
level of -128.
• Remember, if you run out of LFOs, you can
use a looping envelope as an LFO.
LFO Shortcuts
These are described in greater detail in other chapters, but they’re so easy and useful we’ve
included them here too.
Copy LFO A to LFO B
1. Hold [SAVE]
2. Press and release the source (LFO A)
3. Press and release the destination (LFO B)
4. Release [SAVE].
Create a direct Mod route
To set up a mod route to a specic parameter
from inside a module:
1. Hold [LFO X] to select the source
2. Press the Control button for the desired
destination parameter, then release both
buttons
3. Those items appear in the rst open Mod
Matrix slot as the source and destination,
respectively
4. Set the modulation amount with the
lower Control knob.
