Roland SH-01 Modulating the Sound (LFO)

36

[ D] (Decay time) slider

This speci es the time from when the maximum volume is

reached, until it decays to the sustain level.

Moving the slider upward will lengthen this time, and

moving it downward will shorten the time.

[ S] (Sustain level) slider

This speci es the volume level that will be maintained

from when the attack and decay times have elapsed until

you release the key.

Moving the slider upward will raise the volume.

[ R] (Release time) slider

This speci es the time from when you release the key until

the volume reaches its minimum value.

Moving the slider upward will lengthen the time, and

moving it downward will shorten the time.

PAN

Here’s how to change the stereo position of the sound.

1. Hold down the [CANCEL/SHIFT] button and turn

the [DETUNE] knob.

Turning the knob toward the left moves the stereo

position to the left, and turning the knob toward the right

moves the stereo position to the right. If the knob is in the

center, the sound will also be in the center.

Modulating the Sound (LFO)

LFO stands for Low-Frequency Oscillator. This is an

oscillator with a very low frequency. It can output several

di erent waveforms, including sine wave, triangle wave,

square wave, and sawtooth wave.

By using the LFO to modulate various aspects of the audio

signal, you can apply e ects such as vibrato or tremolo.

• Applying the LFO to the pitch (OSC) will produce vibrato.

• Applying the LFO to the cuto (FILTER) will produce

wah-wah.

• Applying the LFO to the volume (AMP) will produce

tremolo.

• Applying the LFO to the PAN will produce auto panning

e ect.

[ SHAPE] button

This selects the LFO waveform. The indicator of the

selected waveform will light.
