Common LFO
Differences from LFO1/2
The Common LFO starts running as soon as you select the
Program, and only resets when you tell it to do so explicitly
via the Reset Source control, below. This is different from
LFO1/2’s “Key Sync” parameter, which resets whenever all
notes are released.
The Common LFO’s persistence can be handy if you want to
create a constant rhythm with an LFO, and then play
“underneath” that rhythm without re‐triggering it. For
instance, you can use a MIDI controller in your sequencer to
reset the Common LFO every few bars, regardless of what
notes are being played.
The Common LFO has most of the same controls as LFO1/2.
However, it does not include the “Delay,” “Fade,” and “Key
Sync” settings, since these only make sense for per‐voice
LFOs.

Shape AMS Src
[List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source for controlling the LFO’s Shape.
Modulating the shape can dramatically alter the effect of the
LFO–try it out!
For a list of AMS sources, please see “Alternate Modulation
Source (AMS)” on page 121.

modulation.
Stop
[Off, On]
On: Instead of the LFO functioning normally, it will ignore
the Freq setting. Instead, the LFO simply generates a single
value when the Program is selected, and then holds that
value until you select another Program, or until you reset
the LFO via AMS.
Note: This is different from LFO1/2, in which the value is
reset with every note‐on.
You can use this in conjunction with the Random wave‐
forms to create static, random modulation, with the value
changing only when you first select the Program.
Off: When Stop is Off, the LFO will function normally.

Reset AMS
[List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source to reset the LFO to the Start
Phase. The LFO resets when the AMS value passes the half‐
way mark: +50 for most AMS sources, or 64 for MIDI con‐
trollers.
To create an effect similar to the per‐voice LFO’s “Key
Sync.” setting, set this to Gate 2+ Damper.

Offset
[–99...+99]
By default, almost all of the LFO waveforms are centered
around 0, and then swing all the way from –99 to +99. This
parameter lets you shift the LFO up and down, so that–for
instance–it’s centered on 50, and then swings from –49 to
+149.
