finepitch encoder of the first oscillator, will tkae you to the first menu page of this
level, using the encoder of the second oscillator will take you to menupage 4 of the
sub level. If you're looking to work with the sections-LFO of the third oscillator, you
need to use the third encoder button instead of the first. This will take you directly to
the parameters affecting the pitch of the third oscillator.
Push the OSC-finetune button of your choice. The following function is available for
all of the oscillators equally:
1/12:VCO1 Fine Tune Modulation
<KeyPt> <RndPt> <VibSp>
These parameters have not been activated at this time.
Pushing the [Page-Up] button once will take you to the edit page of the section
LFO's.
2/12:VCO1 Pitch LFO
LWve:0 LRte:0 LDpt:0
LWve - LFO wave
Using this parameter allows you to adjust the waveform for the oscillator section
LFO. A description of the available waveforms can be found in the previous
paragraph on master-LFO's.
LRte - LFO Rate
Used to adjust the frequency of the LFO.
LDpt - LFO-Depth
Used to adjust the modulation depth of this LFO
As you've seen in the description of the master-LFOs, the section LFO's can also be
used for multiple modulation targets at the same time. This is very useful, when two
or more parameters have to be modulated with the same frequency. Sometimes a
desired modulation effect can sound much better and intensive, when additional
parameters have to follow the control signals slightly at the same time. For instance
you may want to modulate the filter frequency with the same LFO as the resonance,
the oscillator-waveform and the frequency of one of the oscillators, to generate a
phat detuning effect at maximum setting of the modulation. It certainly sounds much
more interesting than to modulate the filter frequency only.
Once you've created a super-atmo with the help of generous LFO use, you may
want to try to add a special touch to the result, by feeding all signals into the filterbank,
rather than routing directly from the analog filters to sum. A particular nice example
of this process is factory preset "Deepatmo" in the "Effects" category. Starting with a
low rumble, which has been intensified using the lowpass of the filterband, an unusual
effect sound evolves, which is primarily controlled with the lowpass-filter section
LFO. In one of the next couple of chapters you will find more info regarding the
filterbank.
