12. Modulation Page
The Modulation page allows you to modulate your sound with a variety of sources, including LFOs
(Low-Frequency Oscillators), envelopes, aftertouch, and external MIDI controllers.
The Modulation page in the Edit area.
This can not only add dynamics and color to a patch, but in conjunction with a software sequencer
host, it can automate functions that add dramatic, real-time changes. Since these modulation
sources can also be MIDI controllers, it’s possible to feed signals from external hardware MIDI
fader boxes and manipulate the sound as a real-time performance. If you record these signals in a
sequencer, you can have the best of both worlds: real-time improvisation and signal warping,
recorded as automation data for later playback.
12.1. LFO 1 and LFO 2
The LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators) provide a periodic modulation effect.
The LFO 1 and LFO 2 modules contain the following settings and options:
The LFO modules.
• Waveform selection menu: Selects from sine, saw, pulse, or random waveforms.
• Sync selection menu: Syncs the frequency to BATTERY's internal tempo, or to your host's
tempo when using BATTERY as a plug-in in sync mode (refer to Sync in Header). In the latter
case, Freq indicates note values rather than an absolute rate.
• Retrigger: Retriggers the LFO cycle on each incoming note.
• Freq: Varies the LFO modulation rate.
• Attack: Sets the time over which the LFO signal fades in after triggering.
• PW: Adjusts the waveform’s duty cycle. For example, it can continuously vary the square
waveform’s width.
