5.6 Modulator Module
The Modulator module uses its own built-in oscillator in order to change and modulate the
incoming signal.
5.6.1 General Function
The Modulator modules can be inserted as the same places as the Filter modules: in any
Module Slot of the Patch Window, except the rst Slot in each Channel A-C (these are re-
served for Oscillator modules) and the last Slot in the Master Channel (reserved for the Effect
moduleTo activate an Modulator module, do the following:
1.
Click on the extended left margin on a Filter, Modulator or Waveshaper Module Slot to
activate it.
2. Choose the Freq Shift or the Ringmod modulation type from the Type menu (at the very
bottom).
As with some of the oscillators in the Oscillator module, the Modulator modules use the
Waveform Selector to select or produce a Waveform.
The Modulator modules only have one panel: the Main panel.
We describe below the two operating modes Freq Shift and Ringmod.
!
The oscillator of the Modulator module never produces an audible signal on its own – what
you hear is the result of its interaction with the input signal.
