SPECTRALIS 2

LFO's. Using the finepitch encoder of the first oscillator, will tkae you to the

first menu page of this level, using the encoder of the second oscillator will

take you to menupage 4 of the sub level. If you're looking to work with the

sections-LFO of the third oscillator, you need to use the third encoder button

instead of the first. This will take you directly to the parameters affecting the

pitch of the third oscillator.

Push the OSC-finetune button of your choice. The following function is available for

all of the oscillators equally:

1/8:VCO1 Pitch LFO

LWve LRte:0 LDpth:0

LWve - LFO wave

Using this parameter allows you to adjust the waveform for the oscillator

section LFO. A description of the available waveforms can be found in

the previous paragraph on master-LFO's.

LRte - LFO Rate

Used to adjust the frequency of the LFO.

LDpt - LFO-Depth

Used to adjust the modulation depth of this LFO

As you've seen in the description of the master-LFOs, the section LFO's can also be

used for multiple modulation targets at the same time. This is very useful, when two

or more parameters have to be modulated with the same frequency. Sometimes a

desired modulation effect can sound much better and intensive, when additional

parameters have to follow the control signals slightly at the same time. For instance

you may want to modulate the filter frequency with the same LFO as the resonance,

the oscillator-waveform and the frequency of one of the oscillators, to generate

a phat detuning effect at maximum setting of the modulation. It certainly sounds

much more interesting than to modulate the filter frequency only.

Once you've created a super-atmo with the help of generous LFO use, you may

want to try to add a special touch to the result, by feeding all signals into the

filterbank, rather than routing directly from the analog filters to sum. A particular

nice example of this process is factory preset "Deepatmo" in the "Effects"

category. Starting with a low rumble, which has been intensified using the

lowpass of the filterband, an unusual effect sound evolves, which is primarily

controlled with the lowpass-filter section LFO. In one of the next couple of

chapters you will find more info regarding the filterbank.
