Voice Parameters

Each-on: The LFO resets with each note you play and starts a

waveform at the phase specified by the Phase parameter.

Figure 43: Key On Reset Each-on

A: Key On (first note)

B: Key On (second note)

X: Time

 1st-on: The LFO resets with each note you play and starts a

waveform at the phase specified by the Phase parameter. If you play

a second note 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 is released before the

second is played.

A: Key On (first note)

B: Key On (second note)

X: Time

Random Speed Determines the degree to which the LFO speed changes at random.

 Higher values result in a larger degree of speed change.

 0: Results in the original speed.

This parameter cannot be set when Tempo Sync is set to On.

Delay Determines the delay time between the moment you press a key on the

keyboard and the moment the LFO comes into effect.

A higher value results in a longer delay time.
