Modulator parameters

The two Modulators have a few controls in common, but there are also some differences. Both the common parameters and the ones that are unique for each Modulator (the destinations) are described below.

To activate/deactivate a Modulator, click the On/Off button in the top left corner.

When a Modulator is activated, the button is lit.

Curve

This lets you select a waveform for modulating parameters. Use the spin controls to the right of the display to cycle through the available waveforms. Some of these waveforms are especially suited for use with the Modulator in one shot mode (see below).

Rate

This knob controls the frequency of the Modulator. For a faster modulation rate, turn the knob to the right.

The Rate knob is also used for setting the timedivision when synchronizing the Modulator to the song tempo (see below).

One Shot

To put the Modulator into one shot mode, click this button so that it is lit.

Normally, the Modulators will repeat the selected waveforms over and over again, at the set rate. However, when one shot mode is activated and you play a note, the Modulator will play the selected waveform only once (at the set rate) and then stop. In other words, it will effectively be turned into an envelope generator!

Note that even though all waveforms can be used with interesting results, some waveforms are explicitly well suited for use in one shot mode. For example, try using the waveform with just one long, gently sloping curve.

Sync

Clicking this button so that it is lit synchronizes the Modulator to the song tempo, in one of 16 possible timedivisions.

When sync is activated, the Rate knob is used for selecting the desired timedivision. Turn the Rate knob and observe the tool tip for an indication of the timedivision.

A/B selector

This switch is used for deciding which oscillator and/or filter the Modulator should modulate - A, B or both. With the switch in the middle position, both A and B will be modulated.
