The parameter tyP, lets you select the
LFO
clock type. The options for the clock are: it can be set as
a tempo (tPo) using the bPM parameter; tempo can be tapped using the footpedal (tAP); or the
clock can be sycn’d (Syn) to external
MIDI
clock.
The tempo is in beats per minute, bpm. The bPM parameter has a range of 10 to 999. To achieve
slower and faster tempos, the div parameter multiplies the value of the tempo set by the tyP clock
source. As an example, if tyP is tPo, bPM is 120bpm and div is 2, then tempo has a value of 240bpm.
The effect on volume of the
LFO
is controlled by the depth (dB) parameter. When this is positive, the
LFO
increases (boosts) the signal level from 0 dB (no change) to the dB value. When this is negative,
the
LFO
decreases (cuts) the signal level from 0dB (no change) to the dB value. Tremolo effects
traditionally cut the signal level, so a negative dB would be chosen to emulate this.
To create more elaborate
LFO
effects, two
LFO
s can be combined when duo mode is enabled. Both
LFO
s are driven from the same clock (so are controlled by the same bPM) but each can have a
different waveform, depth and division, and a phase offset can be applied to
LFO
2 (relative to
LFO
1).
By modulating the
LFOS
’ parameters you can easily create complex, smoothly evolving textures.
Adjusting the volume
The Voluum lets you configure how your volume effect sounds and how it feels to play. The
parameters to set it up are in the table below.
Top Tip: If you want the
LFO
to oscillate between, say, +6dB and −12 dB, set the
LFO
dB to
−18 and enable the volume effect and set a constant dB of +6.
Parameter Controllable Range Description
dB yes −99 –40
Volume level in dB. 0dB means there is no change in
signal level.
Cur no

Curve: sets how the volume control (pedal or
MIDI
) is
mapped onto the volume effect output. This also affects
the shape of the volume change in FAd and envelope
(
ADSR
) modes.
FAd no oFF, on
Fade mode on or off.
Only available with pedal and
MIDI
control.
tiM no 0·1–99·9 Fade time in seconds, for fade mode.
Att no 0·00–9·99
Attack time in seconds (
ADSR
).
Only available with envelope control.
dEC no 0·00–9·99
Decay time in seconds (
ADSR
).
Only available with envelope control.
