The MODulation Matrix is an electronic patchbay that routes all the MatrixBrute's
modulation sources to any or all possible destinations. Think of this as a grid
of patch cords, each with an attenuator that allows for positive or negative
modulation. Every parameter that it would make sense to modulate - pretty
much anything with a knob or fader - can be a destination.
The 16 modulation sources are in rows A - P, and destinations are in columns 1 -
16. Destinations 1 - 12 are hardwired, and 13 - 16 are freely assignable.
5.2.1. Create a modulation path
To assign a modulation source to a destination parameter:
1. In MOD mode, select a modulator and a destination by pressing any
button in the grid.
• The current selection lights up pink.
• You can select from 0 to all 16 destinations for each modulation source,
and each destination parameter can be modulated by 0 to 16 sources.
• Modulation "patch points" light up blue when they're not the current
selection.
1. Set a positive or negative modulation amount (± 99 steps) for the
current selection with the Mod Amount knob. This is an offset from the
input voltage.
Negative values decrease a destination's MOD Amount as the input voltage goes
up, positive values increase it. For example, you might want Aftertouch to lower
VCO 1's pitch a small amount while increasing VCO 1's Metal a lot.
5.2.2. Setting the modulation amount
When MOD Amount is centered, only the red LED at 12 o'clock is lit. White LEDs
in either direction indicate the knob's position when it's off-center; each dot gets
progressively brighter when you've moving toward it.
Also, the exact modulation amount is shown in the numeric display in the Preset
area.
