Modulation The Modulation row, which is the same for every algorithm, contains the parameters for the PCM 80's internal modulation sources. Use the Patch row to assign these modulators to any PCM 80 effect parameter.

Mod: LFO

Four parameters are available: Shape, P Width, Depth, and Rate.

Shape allows you to select the wave shape which will be used when "LFO" is selected as a patch Source. The choices are:

Sine

Cosine

Square

Sawtooth

Pulse

Triangle

P Width determines the proportion of each pulse wave cycle for which the LFO is on (1-99%). For example, setting P Width to 50% means that the LFO is on for half of its cycle. The effect of this control will only be heard if you are using the Pulse shape.

Depth scales the output of the LFO from 0 to 100%.

Rate sets the speed (0-25Hz) at which the LFO cycles. It can be set in time values (such as 1.5Hz) or in tempo values (such as 3:2 cycles per beat). Simultaneously pressing Up and Tempo will toggle these two display options.

Note: The PCM 80 allows six LFO shapes (sine, cosine, sawtooth, triangle, square and pulse) to be selected as patch Sources, as well as the LFO itself. All of these are generated by a single LFO, and are controlled by the single Rate control. When "LFO" is selected as a patch Source, the output will be the Shape selected here. The amplitude of the LFO output is controlled by Depth. Both Shape and Depth are available as patch Destinations and can be controlled externally. Shape, Pulse Width, Depth, and Rate are all available as patch Destination parameters, and can be controlled externally. See Patching in Chapter 2.

Shape, Rate and Depth can be controlled by a patch.
