Modulation
6. Use soft knob 4 to set the modulation amount to 40.
7. Hold down a note on the keyboard and turn the mod wheel on your
MIDI controller. You should hear vibrato.
Use pressure as the modulation source instead of the mod wheel in the
previous example to add vibrato with key pressure/aftertouch.
To use a mod wheel to control the lter cutoff:
1. In the modulation section, press the source button. Use soft knob 1 next to
the display to scroll to Mod Slot 1 if it’s not already displayed.
2. Use soft knob 2 to set modulation source to mod wheel.
3. Use soft knob 3 to set the modulation destination to lowpass cutoff.
4. Hold down a note on the keyboard (or press the hold button and play a
note on the keyboard) and turn the mod wheel on your MIDI controller.
5. Use soft knob 1 to select the amount eld. Use the soft knob 4 to set
the amount to your preference. Higher amount settings cause the lter
to open wider the further you push the mod wheel. A negative amount
setting will close the lter the further you push the mod wheel.
Use pressure as the modulation source instead of the mod wheel in the
previous example to open the lter (positive amount) or close the lter (negative
amount) with key pressure/aftertouch.
Other modulation ideas:
• Route env 3 to osc all freq to create a rising or falling pitch effect
each time your press a key. This technique is often used to create the
“attack pitch blip” effect in classic synth brass sounds. The shape of the
envelope controls the pitch rise and fall.
• Route an LFO to pan position to create an auto-panning effect. Panning
width is controlled by the modulation amount. Panning speed is
controlled by the LFO frequency. Add a second mod path to control the
LFO speed with a Mod Wheel for a rotating speaker spin-up/spin-down
effect. Enable the chorus effect and set up a third mod path to control
effect mix with a mod wheel for even better results.
