3.4 THE MODULATION MATRIX
On the left of the synthesis parameters is a second hatch, smaller than the one for Multi
mode. This contains an extension of the possibilities for modulation when compared to
the original CS-80. It is presented in the form of a modulation matrix in which we choose
10 sources (sub osc., envelopes, etc…) which will modulate 10 destinations (freq. Osc.,
freq. VCF, etc.…).
The modulation matrix
The choice of source and destination is done by clicking on LCD screens. The individual
matrix positions will offer 12 modulation sources and 38 destinations, with an attenuation
control in between.
Let’s apply 2 supplementary types of modulation to the preset «1_voice»:
 Open the hatch of the matrix to access the parameters.
 Among the modulation sources, choose the oscillator low frequency1 («Sub1» or
LFO).
 Choose the cut-off frequency for the low pass1 filter among the destinations
Modulate the frequency of the low-pass filter (LPF1) with the LFO (Sub 1)
 Between the LCD screens is a knob («Amt»). It allows you to set the level of
modulation by applying positive values (by turning to the right) or negative values
(by turning to the left).
Turn the knob to the right for a positive value
After this modulation is set, the cut-off frequency will vary in a cyclic manner, to the
frequency of LFO1.
