I tried setting my LFO to the settings in the instruction manual to get a simple vibrato by using the mod wheel. I set the source as a triangle wave, the destination as pitch, the amount at about 10 o’clock, and the rate to about 11 o’clock. However, whenever I play a note and move the mod wheel, the only modulation I hear is pitch bend. It basically just operates as a pitch bend wheel. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong?
It was able to work once, where I think I was able to adjust the LFO rate by tapping the LFO button to a particular speed. The LFO button was blinking. Only then could I get some sort of vibrato effect, but I do not know what I did to enable it.
Do you think there is something wrong with my LP? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you very much!
Yeah but I’m trying to get the vibrato effect, and it’s not doing a vibrato, it’s just acting like the pitch bend wheel. The manual said those settings would do a vibrato effect.
do you mean sliding the wheel up moves the pitch up and keeps it there? or does it wobble up and down? If it wobbles up and down, then this is vibrato (modulating pitch).
Sliding the wheel up moves the pitch up and keeps it there, it doesn’t wobble. Basically I just want to know how to set up a vibrato effect through the mod wheel, but the instructions in the manual didn’t work.
You mention Tap Tempo as if it’s a feature you are unaware of. It is explained in detail in the manual page 23.
To use the mod wheel to adjust the LFO rate make sure LFO SYNC is set to INTERNAL. (Master Mode menu #3 - Manual page 25).
