11. TRACKS
61
• HALF will make the LFO restart when a sample is trigged, run for half a cycle and then stop.
• SYNC TRIG will restart the LFO on track start, and also every time the pattern loops.
• SYNC ONE will restart the LFO on track start. The LFO will then play for one period.
• SYNC HALF will restart the LFO on track start. The LFO will then play for half a period.
SPD sets the base speed of the LFO. The speed is always synced to the BPM setting. As both speed
and multiplier parameters exist the speed of an LFO can range from very slow to very fast. The SPD
settings for all three LFOs are also reflected in the LFO MAIN page.
DEP sets the amount of modulation applied to the target parameter. Setting DEP to 127 allows for
modulating a parameter to and from any extreme value. For example, if the target parameter is set to
64 a saw wave LFO DEP setting of 64 is sucient for modulating the target value to its minimum (0)
and maximum (127) values. The DEP settings for all three LFOs are also reflected in the LFO MAIN page.
11.4.9 LFO DESIGNER
The LFO designer allows you to draw customized LFO shapes. Such waveforms can in some instanc-
es almost be regarded as mini-sequencers as they for example can be used to make rhythmic track
parameter changes. Each audio track hosts one LFO designer and all designer waveforms are available
to all audio track LFOs. MIDI tracks can only use designer waveforms created in the MIDI LFO SETUP
menu. The LFO designer waveforms are selectable by the WAVE parameter found in the LFO 1-3 pages
of the LFO SETUP menu. They are represented by small visualizations of their waveform shapes and are
labeled T1-T8. Access the LFO designer by navigating to the DESIGNER menu in the leftside column.
A custom LFO waveform consists of 16 steps where each step can have a unique value. The steps can
either be stepped or interpolated. All changes made to the waveform are instantly visualized by the LFO
waveform representation in the center of the screen.
[TRIG] keys in combination with the upper row of DATA ENTRY knobs are used to draw the LFO wave-
form.
To change a waveform step, press the corresponding [TRIG] key and turn one of the top-row DATA
ENTRY knobs. While the [TRIG] pressed the [TRACK] key will be dimmed. The first knob you turn will
manipulate the selected step value and any knobs on its right and left side will aect the waveform step
values to the right and left of the originally selected step. Press a [TRIG] key to see the value assigned to
the corresponding waveform step.
More waveform steps than one can be manipulated simultaneously. To do that, just press down several
[TRIG] keys while turning a knob. All steps values will then be adjusted by the same amount.
To interpolate between two steps, select a waveform step by pressing and holding the corresponding
[TRIG] key and then press the [TEMPO] key. Interpolation between the value of the selected waveform
step and the value of the next waveform step will now occur. To remove an interpolation, just repeat the
key press combination. Interpolated steps are indicated by yellow [TRACK] keys on the step sequencer
and sloped curves in the LFO waveform visualization.
An EDIT menu is available while the LFO DESIGNER menu is active. Press [FUNC] + [BANK] to access
it. Two commands are available.
• RANDOMIZE will create a random LFO waveform.
• INVERT will invert the created LFO waveform.
[FUNC]+[LEFT]/[RIGHT] can be used to rotate the LFO designer sequence.
Copy/clear/paste operations are available in the LFO DESIGNER menu. This makes it pos-
sible to copy LFO designer waveforms between tracks. When performing a clear opera-
tion, all waveform steps will be set to 0 and interpolation will be set to stepped.
