ZONE 2 LEVEL 7 (EDIT BANK\LFO ASSIGNER)
LEVEL OVERVIEW
Here you can create controllable Volume, Pan and Pitch Modulation effects
with the use of RAM simulated Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO's). The Space
Station has Six LFO Shapes per Bank, Assignable to any Wave or Controller.
Each LFO has its own Parameters and can be Saved individually, or as a Map.
LFO Shapes can Modulate different aspects of each Wave in varying amounts.
MIDI Controllers can be used for LFO Depth and Time giving hands on control.

LFO DISPLAY
Displays the currently selected LFO Shape to Edit\Connect. Click to
activate Shape Depth and Time Location Displaying. Central\Left side Grey
markers fill Red to identify LFO Cycle and Depth Location.
WAVE PARAMETERS
Connect LFO Shapes to the selected Wave for varying Modulation effects.
Switches
Split into two parts for Attribute assigning, illuminated for Connection
displaying.
Attribute Name (Part One)
Connects the selected LFO for Attribute Modulating, Switches have three
Modes.
Mode 1
Switch Out and Grey, LFO not Connected. Click to Connected selected
LFO.
Mode 2
Switch In and Coloured, selected LFO Connected. Click to Disconnect
LFO.
Mode 3
Switch Out and Coloured, LFO Connected. Click to select Connected LFO.
Key Icon (Part Two)
Assigns MIDI Poly Pressure for Attribute Modulation. Click to activate\deactivate.
Remember: Waves using Poly Pressure do not Modulate until Receiving
Pressure Values for the Assigned Key.
Volume
LFO Shape Modulates Wave Volume for Tremolo\Gate effects.
Value
Click +\- to up\down the Value, larger Values result in greater effects.
Pan
LFO Shape Modulates Wave Pan for Stereo\Shimmer effects.
Value
Click +\- to up\down the Value, larger Values result in greater effects.
Pan settings from the Zone 2 Level 1+3 Edit Bank\Wave Assigner and Envelope
Generator may already be applied and will alter the effect.
Remember: Stereo Waves will fade between Left\Right, they will not swap sides.
Pitch
LFO Shape Modulates Wave Pitch for Vibrato\Chorus effects.
Value
Semitones, click +\- to up\down the Value, larger Values result in
greater effects.
GLOBAL CONNECTIONS
Used for Global Connections, Viewing and Copying Wave Parameters.
View
Views all Waves with identical LFO Connections to the selected Wave,
click\hold to View Connections. Keyboard LED's split into three Colours
to identify which LFO Shapes are Connected to the same Wave Parameters
as the selected Wave.
Red
Volume, Keys with Red LED's use the same LFO Shape as the selected
Wave for Volume Modulation.
Green
Pan, Keys with Green LED's use the same LFO Shape as the selected Wave
for Pan Modulation.
Cyan
Pitch, Keys with Cyan LED's use the same LFO Shape as the selected
Wave for Pitch Modulation.
All
Copies all LFO Connections and Wave Parameters of the selected Wave
to all Waves within the Bank.
Results displayed in the Status Screen.
Map
