Hi, some questions about the LFOs in the Emax. Could´nt find answers in the manual.
1. Are the LFOs free running or do they retrigger for each note? or can it change between these modes?
2. Can it invert the waveform of the LFOs?
3. Can it declutch the LFOs from the mod wheel and modulate the destinations by hand, by "direct current"?
4. Can an LFO modulate more than one destination simultaneously?
Emax questions.

Re: Emax LFO questions.
1. Retrigger only
2. No
3. Yes, by "direct current" or by pitch wheel, footpedal, aftertouch, or MIDI controller
4. Yes, Vibrato, Tremelo, Filter Cutoff, and Panning can all be modulated at once.

Re: Emax LFO questions.
THANX!
(I changed the title a bit as this topic is going more general.)
Supplemental question, about the data slider:
The manual for the Emax claims that you must retrigger a note to hear ny changes made with the data slider. Holding down a note and playing the slider will not change the sound. This applies all the changes to the sound you are trying to do this way. But the guy in this demo is obviously doing that. Am I wrong or is the manual wrong?

Re: Emax questions.
Anyone who can check that, please?
Re: Emax questions.
The only parameter in the filter menu that you can tweak in real time is the filter envelope, which is what the guy in the youtube video is doing. You can't tweak the filter cutoff in realtime, but tweaking the filter envelope level sounds similar and is an indirect way of doing it because it is controlling how much the filter envelope affects the cutoff level.

Re: Emax questions.
Thanks. In other words that´s the only parameter of all that you can tweak in real time with the slider, as the manual says: "this is true when making any changes to the sound, not just while you´re in the filter function or the analog processng module. "
Re: Emax questions.
You can control the cutoff from the mod wheel of course, that have more sense.Userfriend wrote:Anyone who can check that, please?
