5.7 THE MODULAR
Each instrument in Spark is made in a fully modular environment. This means
that all sample instruments, and obviously analog instruments rely on a modular
patch. This should not frighten you because all instruments have dedicated
“macro” parameters, which means that you will still be able to edit an
instrument in depth without having to rely on the modular panel. But for those
who want to go deeper into editing, the modular panel provides endless
possibilities for sound design!
5.7.1 The modular editor area
A modular patch will require four vital modules to work:
[1] The Pad module: It corresponds to the pad that you will play, either on the
controller or on the main panel. Its two core controls are Trig which sends a
message anytime the pad is triggered, and Velocity, which corresponds to the
velocity at which the pad is played.
[2] and [3] are the two outputs of your patch, respectively the Left and Right
outputs. Any audio you have in your patch will need to go in those modules in
order to obtain sound.
[4] can be considered as your main VCA envelope: It needs to be activated by
the pad so the [Trig] output of the Pad module must be connected to the [Trig]
