The LFOs
modulation targets via the
PARAMETER button after you have
pressed the AMOUNT button
once.) Once you have dialed in a
value other than 0 for a modulation
target, the corresponding LED
illuminates continually. This feature
tells you at a glance that a
modulation is underway even
when the display indicates some
other type of operation.
Here are the definitions for
the modulation targets:
OSC-1 refers to the frequency of
oscillator 1
OSC-2 refers to the frequency of
oscillator 2
PW 1+2 means that the pulse
widths of both oscillators are controlled
in unison
RESO 1+2 refers to the resonances
of both filters. Please keep in mind
that although each set of these
parameters is assigned a common
modulation intensity, you can still
dial in different sound-shaping settings
manually. In other words, the
audible result of a joint modulation
varies according to the values
you have determined for the other
parameters.
ASSIGN Here you can freely select
any modulation destination.
Modulate the five parameters separately
and in combinations with
different intensities. Try to anticipate
the sound you will come up
with when you modulate the first
oscillator, the second oscillator or
both oscillators at once and see if
the results match your expectations.
If you can fairly reliably predict
the outcome of your soundshaping
efforts, you should have a
handle on the information discussed
thus far and can use your
knowledge to create specific
sounds you have in mind.
During the course of your experiments,
it is entirely possible that
you have generated modulations
that have no effect whatsoever on
