Configuring the step LFO

The step LFO applies LFO modulation based on a 16-step waveform. This periodically changes the sound, in sync with the tempo.

Item

Explanation

[1]

SEt

Configures the common step LFO settings.

[2]

P.SEt

Configures the step LFO settings (OSC).

[3]

P.Nod

Sets the depth of the Pitch, Phase Modulation, Shaping Modulation and Wavetable Position for each step.

[4]

P.CrU

Sets the curve of the Pitch, Phase Modulation, Shaping Modulation and Wavetable Position for each step.

[5]

A.SEt

Configures the step LFO settings (Filter-Amp).

[6]

A.Nod

Sets the depth of the filter and amp for each step.

[7]

A.CrU

Sets the curve of the filter and amp for each step.

[8]

GAtE

Sets whether each step plays or not (on/off).

[9]

KICK

Specifies whether the kick is on/off for each step.

This creates a kick (bass drum)-like effect at the timing of the steps that are “on” (active), by applying a downward-sloping pitch envelope to the sound.

  • This is enabled when Step Mod Pitch Switch is “ON”.

[10]

tooL

Resets each of the parameter values for the step LFO, or sets them randomly.
