Hello,

well in defense of Z1/Prophecy I have to say

u have 4 superb complete Lfos and 4 Envs

that are sadly lacking on Ex5 and AN1X and Tg77/SY99

I think Yamaha must hate Lfos, in all of their synth
top or not top of line they are always
1) not so many and 2) very basic compare to
others (lfo2 on AN1X is almost a joke :-(((( )


Lfos in SW are easy to implement so I really don't understand
why it is so.

Besides I LOVE Lfos especially in SUBTRACTIVE synthesis
they are never enough and indispensable to MOVE
sounds.

(I adore my JD800/JD990 8 (EIGHT) Lfos with delays fade trig + -)

Regards
