On preset "Beware Of The Wheel", when I turn the Mod Wheel up, the rate of the LFO goes faster and you can hear it. But in the Modulation section dropdown list, it is listed as LFO 2 FM.
Isn't FM usually associated with Frequency Modulation of Sine waves at the oscillator level? Using the term FM on the LFO is very confusing, especially since (correct me if I'm wrong) in the synth's front panel itself, the LFO 2 has a RATE knob.
It would be logical and proper if in the dropdown list of Destinations in the Modulation section, it was listed as LFO 2 RATE rather than LFO 2 FM.
Also, in that same list, there is LFO 2 AM. Huh? Amplitude Modulation? This makes no sense to me and I don't understand how that is listed as a possible Destination when associated with the LFO's (both 1 and 2). LFO 1 AM, or LFO 1 FM; LFO 2 AM or LFO 2 FM.
Please help me to understand this. Then, my next question (below).
In the SEM v.2 manual, there is no mention of Frequency Modulation nor Amplitude Modulation in connection with programming the SEM. But in the VCF section, there's a reference to Frequency Modulation and it does not make any sense to me since on this particular preset the VCF modulation source selector switch is on LFO1, not LFO2.
So my next question is, can the SEM synth be programmed with all of those modulations sources in the VCF selector (ENV2, LFO1, and LFO2) all at the same time? Does it remember the programming of each selected source, even after you move the switch?
My first thinking was that you had to choose 1 of the 3 positions and that would be that. But maybe not?
Going back to the first question from the beginning, the Mod Wheel is affecting the Rate of the LFO 2 (even though in the Modulation section dropdown list it is not labeled as such. It's labeled as LFO 2 FM.), and then is the LFO2 being used in the VCF section even though the Modulation selector is switched to LFO 1?
Help?
