fm=frequency modulation With simple fm you get a vibrato. Set the
sync/fm to just fm turn the fm amount just a little-maybe 2 or 3. For
a normal sounding vibrato use LFO 1 as the source and use a sine
wave. For something a little more spacey, set the LFO Delay to about
20 and play a sustained patch. Then set the LFO to s/h. This will
give you a normal sound that then drifts out of tune in an odd and
musical fashion.The more you turn up the fm depth, the weirder the
sound gets. Eventually the sound gets totally trashed. FM depth is a
great control for free eg. Also, the faster the LFO the wilder the
sound.
Now when you use osc sync one oscillator controls another for a vocal-
like timbre. You can apply the vibrato to both the master and the
slave, just the slave, or just the master. I usually set the fm to
control the slave. This brings in some nice evolving overtones
without trashing the central pitch.
Turning the Frequency modulation source knob while playing will
change the sound radically.
There's two frequency modulation sources. One affects the frquency
modulation. The affects the first modulation source. A nice use for
this is to have an envelope for your LFO.
Be careful when you use the modulation matrix so you can have knobs
or ribbon controllers affect the fm. Sometimes the fm winds up
getting stuck at a really setting. Then you need to just turn it back
down to where you had it in the first place.
