Z4/Z8 User Guide—Version 1.0
Configuring the LFOs
The LFO1 and LFO2 of each Keygroup, or Drum sample note, can be configured as fol-
lows.
1
Select a Program as explained on page 48, press “KGRP” (“ASSIGN for
Drum Programs), and then press “LFO.”
The LFO page appears, as shown below.
2
Select the “LFO” parameter, and use the JOG dial to select LFO1 or LFO2.
Alternatively, press “LFO” to toggle between LFO1 and LFO2.
The page layout and parameters for LFO1 and LFO2 are the same.
3
Select the “Kg” parameter, and use the JOG dial to select a Keygroup.
For Drum Programs, instead of the “Kg” and “Kg edit” parameters, you can select indi-
vidual drum Sample notes.
You can edit the LFO1 or LFO2 of individual Keygroups or all Keygroups simulta-
neously by setting the “Kg edit” parameter. When set to “ONE,” edits apply to only the
selected Keygroup. When set to “ALL,” edits apply to all Keygroups absolutely. So if the
Delay of one Keygroup is set to “10,” the Delay of all Keygroup are set to “10.” When
set to “ADD,” edits apply to all Keygroups relatively. So if Keygroup #1 has a Delay of
“50,” and Keygroup #2 has a Delay of “30,” increasing the Delay of any Keygroup by
“10” will change the Delay of Keygroup #1 to “60,” and that of Keygroup #2 to “40.”

Select the parameters, and use the JOG dial to set them.
Depth:
(0–100) This determines the LFO depth.
Rate:
(0–100) This determines the LFO speed. When the “Midi Sync” parameter is set to
“ON,” the rate is synchronized to the incoming MIDI Clock information and this param-
eter can be used to set the number of oscillator cycles per beat: 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/2, or 1–64.
Delay:
(0–100) This determines the LFO delay time.
Wave:
(TRIANGLE, SINE, SQUARE, SAW UP, SAW DOWN, RANDOM) This
selects the LFO waveform. The current waveform is displayed graphically.
Phase:
(0–360) This determines the start phase of the LFO waveform, “360” being one
complete cycle. The current start phase is displayed on the waveform by a vertical dotted
line.
Shift:
This offsets the center of the LFO waveform.
Re-Trigger:
(ON, OFF) This determines how the LFO is retriggered when subsequent
notes are played. When set to “ON,” the LFO restarts each time a new note is played.
When set to “OFF,” the same LFO waveform is applied to subsequent notes.
Lfo Sync:
(ON, OFF) When set to “ON,” the LFOs of all voices are synchronized. all
LFOs are synchronized.
Midi Sync:
(ON, OFF) When set to “ON,” the LFO speed is synchronized to the incom-
ing MIDI Clock information, and the Rate parameter can be used to specify the number
of oscillator cycles per beat.
You will need to configure Program Modulation for controls via the LFOs. Press the
WINDOW button while a parameter other than the Program name is selected to open the
Program Modulation window. See “Configuring Program Modulation” on page 58 for
more information.
