These can be used to control the change in volume from the moment a note is played to the moment
the sound stops. The settings made here will be applied to the same parameters in the AEG (page
80) of Element Edit as offset. Each parameter can be changed directly via the Knob.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
6 LFO (Common LFO)
Determines how the vibrato, tremolo and wah effect are produced by using the LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator). The Common LFO
parameter settings commonly affect all elements of the Voice.
Wave Selects the Wave and determines how the LFO waveform vibrates.
Settings: triangle, triangle+, saw up, saw down, squ1/4, squ1/3, square, squ2/3, squ3/4, trapezoid, S/H1, S/H2, user
user ................................... You can use your original LFO wave by selecting this as the LFO wave. The LFO wave can be
created only on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor. For details about setting, see USER LFO
parameters (page 71).
Play Mode Determines whether the LFO cycles repeatedly (loop) or only once (one shot).
Settings: loop, one shot
Speed Determines the speed of the LFO Wave. The higher the value, the faster the speed. This parameter
cannot be set when “Tempo Sync” is set to “on.”
Settings: 0 – 63
Phase Determines the starting phase point for the LFO Wave
when it is reset.
Settings: 0°, 90°, 120°, 180°, 240°, 270°
Tempo Sync Determines whether or not the LFO speed is synchronized to the tempo of the Arpeggio.
Settings: off (not synchronized), on (synchronized)
n When this parameter is set to “on” and “MIDI Sync” in the MIDI display of the Utility (page 99) is set to “external” or
“auto,” the LFO speed is synchronized with the external clock.
Tempo Speed This parameter is available only when Tempo Sync above has been set to “on.” It allows you to make
detailed note value settings that determine how the LFO pulses in sync with the Arpeggio.
Settings: 16th, 8th/3 (eighth-note triplets), 16th. (dotted sixteenth note), 8th (eighth note), 4th/3 (quarter-note triplets), 8th
(dotted 8th note), 4th (quarter notes), 2nd/3 (half-note triplets), 4th. (dotted quarter notes), 2nd (half notes),
whole/ 3 (whole-note triplets), 2nd. (dotted half note), 4thx4 (quarter-note quadruplets; four quarter notes to the
beat), 4thx5 (quarter-note quintuplets; five quarter notes to the beat), 4thx6 (quarter-note sextuplets; six quarter
notes to the beat), 4thx7 (quarter-note septuplets; seven quarter notes to the beat), 4thx8 (quarter-note octuplets;
eight quarter notes to the beat), 4thx16 (sixteen quarter notes to the beat), 4thx32 (32 quarter notes to the beat),
4thx64 (64 quarter notes to the beat)
n The note type setting above is synchronized with the tempo of the Arpeggio playback.
Key on Reset Determines whether or not the LFO is reset each time a Note On message is received. The following
three settings are available.
Settings: off, each-on, 1st-on
off
The LFO cycles freely with no key synchronization. Receiving a Note On
message starts the LFO wave at whatever phase the LFO happens to be at that
point.
each-on
The LFO resets with each received Note On message and starts a waveform at
the phase specified by the Phase parameter (above).
1st-on
The LFO resets with each received Note On message and starts a waveform at
the phase specified by the Phase parameter (above). If a second Note On
message is received while the first is being held, the LFO continues cycling
according to the same phase as triggered by the first note. In other words, the
LFO only resets if the first Note Off message is received before the second
Note On message is received.
n The starting phase is determined by the “Phase” parameter although
the starting phase is shown as 0 in the illustration.
Random Speed Determines the degree to which the LFO speed changes randomly. A setting of “0” results in the
original speed. Higher values result in a larger degree of random speed change.
This parameter cannot be set when “Tempo Sync” is set to on.
