The Modulation section
Modulation Parameters (Front Panel)
Assign Source: Selects a modulation source. The are 28 different
modulation sources. See “Appendix A:
Modulation Sources” on page 130 for a complete list.
Assign Destination: Selects a modulation destination. The are 88 differ-
ent modulation destinations. See “Appendix B:
Modulation Destinations” on page 131 for a complete list.
Amount Sets the modulation amount. Modulation can be either positive
or negative.
Modulation Examples
Below are several modulation scenarios that illustrate how to use the modu-
lation matrix. The examples provide full, step-by-step instructions for clarity.
There are shortcuts for routing modulation to various front panel sources/
destinations. Simply hold down the source button and move the control you want to
use as a source (the mod wheel, for example). Then hold down the destination button
and move the control that you want to use as a destination (lter cutoff, for example).
Set the amount using Soft Knob 3 in the main display. Be aware that not all front-
panel controls can be used as a modulation sources/destinations.
To use the mod wheel to add vibrato:
1. In the lfo section, set LFO 1 to triangle and set frequency to 75. Set
destination to osc all freq. Set amount to 0. (You will control the
amount with the mod wheel.)
2. In the modulation section, press the assign source button. Use soft
knob 1 to scroll to Mod Slot 1 if it’s not already displayed.
3. Use soft knob 2 to scroll through the various mod sources and choose
mod wheel (As a shortcut you can hold down the source button and
move the mod wheel.)
4. Use soft knob 3 to set the amount to 30.
5. Use soft knob 4 to scroll through the various mod destinations and
choose lfo1 amt.
6. Hold down a note on the keyboard and turn the mod wheel. You should
hear vibrato.
Use pressure as the modulation source instead of the mod wheel in the previ-
ous example to add vibrato with key pressure/aftertouch.
To use the mod wheel to control the lter cutoff:
1. In the modulation section, press the source button. Use the soft knob 1
to scroll to Mod Slot 1 if it’s not already displayed.
2. Use the soft knob 2 to scroll through the various mod sources and
choose mod wheel.
3. Use soft knob 4 to scroll through the various mod destinations and
choose 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.
5. Use soft knob 3 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 previ-
ous example to open the lter (positive amount) or close the lter (negative amount)
with key pressure/aftertouch.
