Orb as Mod Source

The Orb can be used as a Modulation Source. Using the DICE instantly provides interesting and surprising results, however using the Orb as a Modulation Source gives the user flexibility and full control over the parameters it modulates.

The Orb is seamlessly integrated to Omnisphere’s Flex-Mod system. In Omnisphere, by right-clicking on the parameter to be modulated, the available Modulation Sources will appear under the “Modulate” => “Modulate with Orb” submenu. You may also select “Orb” from the “All Mod Sources” Sub-menu and the Orb will be automatically routed to the Target parameter.

Please check the Modulation section for more information.

Orb as a modulation source vs. the DICE button

The Orb can generate sound modifications automatically by using the DICE button, or manually by user-defined modulation routings. Each method has its pros and cons and they cannot be used simultaneously. When using the Orb as a modulation source, keep in mind the following rules:

• Creating a modulation routing where the Orb is the source overrides any sound modification that was Orb-generated.
• If you press the DICE button after using the Orb as a modulation source, the routings will be overridden. However, they will not be lost. In order to enable them again, simply reselect the Orb as a modulation source for any of them.
