How to read the “Parameter Guide”
(example)
PROG 3: Ed–LFOs
Here you can make settings for the LFO that can be used to
cyclically modulate the Pitch, Filter, and Amp of oscillators 1
and 2. There are two LFO units for each oscillator. By setting
the LFO1 or LFO2 Intensity to a negative (–) value for Pitch,
Filter, or Amp, you can invert the LFO waveform.
3–1: OS1LFO1 (OSC1 LFO1)
Indicates settings for the “OSC1 LFO1,” which is the first
LFO that can be used for oscillator 1.
3–1a: OSC1 LFO1
Waveform [Triangle 0…Random6 (Vect.)]
■ 3–1: UTILITY
☞“Write Program” (0–1)
For details on how to select the desired utility function, refer
to “PROG 0–1: UTILITY.”
Swap LFO 1&2
This exchanges the settings of LFO 1 and 2. If LFO2 is
selected in AMS1 (Freq. AMS1) or AMS2 (Freq. AMS2) of
LFO1 Freq.Mod (3–1b), then these settings will be invalid for
LFO2 after LFO1 and 2 have been exchanged. If you select
this from the OSC1 LFO1 or OSC1 LFO2 page, LFO1 and
LFO2 of OSC1 will be exchanged.
