44 Creating a Patch How a Patch Is Organized The type of sound most commonly played on the XV-2020 is called a Patch . Each Patch can contain up to four Tones. fig.1-01.e You can turn the Tones in a Patch on or off. Only Tones that are turned on are heard when you play the Patch. (p. 45) You can also set the structure of a Patch to specify how Tone[...]

45 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) Use the LFO to create cyclical changes—or cyclical “modulation”—in a Tone. Each Tone has two LFOs. An LFO can be applied to the Tone’s pitch settings, TVF (filter), and TVA (volume). When an LFO is applied to pitch, a vibrato effect is produced. When an LFO is applied to [...]
