When the parameter is set to 00, the random steps will only change
when a new note-on is received and will sustain at that level until a new note-
on is received. I.e:
MIDI NOTE ONS
By applying this LFO in this way to, say, FILTER 1, each note you play may
have a different tonal colour and this can be made into quite a dramatic synth
effect by setting quite high modulation amounts and high resonance. With
percussive sounds, this can be a very interesting rhythmic backing for tightly
sequenced arpeggios and riffs and the like. By applying this to panning, each
note will be in a different position in the stereo image. On single note, you will
get a dramatic panning effect as the sound bounces all over the stereo image
and in chords, each note will position itself in different positions giving the
impression of great depth and spread to the sound.
However, this facility can be also used more subtly! By applying a tiny amount
of the RANDOM waveform to pitch (try a depth setting of 01), each note may
have a very tiny pitch discrepancy. In a layered string or vocal ensemble, by
applying this to just one of the layers, you can create interesting chorus effects
as each note has a slightly different detune amount.
Similarly, when applied in small amounts, this can also be used effectively on
‘ethnic’ sounds such as pan pipes as the ‘real thing’ is rarely perfectly in tune
from one note to the next. On a rich analogue synth sound, you can also
emulate the fact that these old synths’ tuning left a lot to be desired!
There are many possibilities which you will no doubt find for yourself.
This sets the rate of LFO1. This is variable between very slow for such effects
as auto panning and filter sweeps and fast for vibrato and other effects. The
default here is slow as it is assumed you will want to use this LFO for such
things as filter sweeps and slow panning effects, etc..
This sets the master output level for LFO2. Unlike LFO1, its default is 99 so
you will instantly hear the effect of LFO2’s modulation as soon as you apply it at
any destination.
This sets the delay between a note-on occurring and the effect being
introduced. At 00 the effect will be instantaneous and at 99 the effect will take
some 5 or 6 seconds to be introduced. I.e.
