Modulation Section

The Modulation section has two functions; to display any existing modulation routings and also to create new routings. Existing routings can also be edited here. The key concept of the Modulation section of the EDIT page is that only one modulation routing is displayed at a time (the Mod Matrix Zoom shows many routings simultaneously).

Modulation Menu

Selecting the drop down arrow on the MODULATION header will bring up a menu that allows new modulation routings to be created as well as the removal of existing routings. All of the modulation routings set up in the currently selected Layer are visible from this list. Selecting any of these routings will allow them to be displayed and modified in the Modulation section of the EDIT page.

Source Depth

This slider controls the amount of modulation that will be sent from the source to the modulation target. If the slider is set to minimum, the modulation source will have no effect on the modulation target. The higher the setting, the more the source will be affecting to the target. This is useful in controlling the subtlety of the modulation, however it is possible to send too much signal from the source, causing unusual behavior in the target because the values are out of range.

Target Parameter

This slider is a duplicate of the target parameter—meaning it’s another representation of the parameter that’s being modulated.

Inside the parameter ‘slot’ is a dual indicator. The yellow line represents the range of the modulation and the white point indicates the current value of the modulation.

Mute

The currently displayed modulation routing can be muted with this switch. This is a quick way to hear the Patch with and without the modulation routing.

Invert

The Invert button changes the modulation source by reversing the values so it will have the opposite effect on the modulation target.

For example, if the modulation source is an LFO with an ascending ramp wave as its waveform, it will invert the signal to that of a descending ramp waveform.
