1-2-11 LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator)
The Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) unit of the tone generator block generates a low-
frequency signal.
The signal from the LFO can be used to modulate the pitch, filter, and amplitude. Modulating
the pitch produces a vibrato effect, modulating the filter produces a wah effect, and modulating
the amplitude produces a tremolo effect.
You can set the Common LFO, which determines the basic LFO parameters that are common
to all Elements/Operators of the Part. Also, you can set the Element LFO, which determines
the LFO parameters for each individual Element/Operator.
LFO Wave Selects the Wave and determines how the LFO waveform modulates the
sound.
Speed Determines the speed of the LFO Wave.
The higher the value, the faster the speed.
Key On Reset Determines whether or not the LFO is reset each time a note is played.
 Off: The LFO cycles freely with no key synchronization. Pressing a
key starts the LFO wave at whatever phase the LFO happens to be
at that moment.

 Each-on: The LFO resets with each note you play and starts a
waveform at the phase specified by the Phase parameter.
