About the Sync Modes
The Sync modes determine how the LFO cycle affects the notes you play.
Part
In this mode, the LFO cycle is free running and affects all the voices in sync.
Free running means that the LFO cycles continuously, and does not reset
when a note is played.
MIDI
In this mode, the LFO rate is synced in various beat increments to MIDI clock.
Voice
In this mode, each voice in the Part has its own independent LFO cycle (the
LFO is polyphonic). These cycles are also free running – each key down starts
anywhere in the LFO cycle phase.
Key
Same as Voice except that it is not free running – for each key down the LFO
cycle starts over.
About the Waveforms
Most standard LFO waveforms are available for LFO modulation. You use sine and
triangle waveforms for smooth modulation cycles, square and ramp up/down for
different types of stepped modulation cycles and random or sample for random
modulation. The sample waveform is different:
• In this mode, the LFO makes use of the other LFO as well.
For example, if LFO 2 is set to use Sample, the resulting effect also depends
on the speed and waveform of LFO 1.
