LFO
SPEED
Modulation
by
PRESSURE
The
initial
speed
of
the
LFOs
can
be
increased
or
decreased
by
modulating
it
by
Keyboard
PRESSR
-pressing
into
the
MATRIX-12's
keys
after
the
notes
are
played
will
change
the
speed
of
LFO
modulation.
In
this
application,
PRESSR
is
applied
in
the
Modulation
Page
to
the
SPEED
of
an
LFO.
Just
remember
to
set
the
initial
SPEED
amount
of
the
LFO
to
a
relatively
slow
rate
to
begin
with.
VALUE
X
range
is
from
-63
to
+63
of
Pressure
affecting
the
LFO
SPEED.
Using
positive
VALUES
increase
the
LFO
speed
when
Pressure
is
added.
Negative
amounts
decrease
LFO
Speed
when
Pressure
is
added.
A
0
setting
represents
no
effect
by
PRESSR.
FM
FM
AMP
Modulation
The
Amount
of
VCO2
modulating
VCO1
or
the
VCF
can
be
controlled
by
any one
of
the
MATRIX-12fs
27
Sources
of
Modulation.
An
interesting
use
of
modulation
on
the
FM
AMP\s
to
select
an
Envelope
(ENV
X)
or
Pressure
to
vary
the
amount
of
FM
affecting
VCO1
of
the
VCF.
Set
the
FM
AMP
amount
to
0
so
that
the
modulation
Source
that
you
select
will
bring
it
in.
Press
the button
beneath
FM
AMPln
the
window
and
select
the
Source
you
want.
VALUE
X
range
is
from
-63
to
+63.
A
setting
of
0
is
no
effect.
Using
positive
values
increases
the
amount
of
the
Source
modulating
the
FMAMP.
Negative
amounts
decrease
FM
from
its
initial
programmed
amount.
As
an
example,
if
an
Envelope
is
selected
and
programmed
to
have
slow
ATTACK
DECAYand
RELEASElimes,
the
effect
of
FM
will
be
gradually
heard
and
then
gradually
fade.
Using
negative
Values
inverts
the
Envelope
so
that
the
opposite
effect
is
obtained:
the
effect of
FM
will
be
present
when
the
patch
is
first
played,
fade
away
and
come
back
again.
When
inverting
the
Source,
return
to
Page
1
of
FM/LAG
and
set
its
initial
Value
to
+63.
The
same
will
hold
true
if
Pressure
is
used
as
a
Modulation
Source.
Positive
Values
cause
Pressure
to
increase
the
amount
of
FM.
As
an
example,
pressing
into
the
keys
increases
the
amount
of
FM
affecting
VCO1
or
the
Filter.
As
the
keys
are
released,
FM
modulation
goes
away.
Negative
Values
decrease
FM
by
inverting
the
effect
of
PRESSR
as a
Source:
FM
modulation
with
a
high
initial
amount
will
be
present
when
the
Patch
is
first
played
and
pressing
into
the
keys
takes
it
away.
Letting
up on
the
keys
brings the
effect
of
FM
back.
LEVERS
The
MATRIX-12
provides
two
"performance
modulation"
controls
called
LEVER
1
and
LEVER
2.
Similar
in
function
to
modulation
wheels
found
on
many
other
synthesizers,
the
MATRIX-12's
Levers
are
commonly
used
to
provide
Pitch-Bend
(LEVER
1)
and
Vibrato
(LEVER
2)
modulation.
But
these
two
Levers
can
be
used
to
provide
other
forms
of
modulation
as
well,
just
like
the
remaining
25
Sources.
Thus,
they
are
given
places
in
the
MODULATION
SOURCE
section
and
are
given
generic
titles
LEVER
1
and
LEVER
2
because
they
are
actually
non-dedicated.
They
can
be
used
to
modulate
any
of
the
MATRIX-12's
47
Destinations.
