Click the Bypass button in front of the depth control to switch off the modulation
temporarily.
Managing Modulation Rows
To copy or move a modulation row, proceed as follows:
1. On the context menu for the source row, select “Copy Modulation Row” or “Cut
Modulation Row”.
2. On the context menu for the target row, select “Paste Modulation Row”.
To insert an empty row, select “Insert Modulation Row” from the context menu.
To remove a modulation row, select “Remove Modulation Row” from the context
menu.
Note that the list always contains 32 rows. If you remove a row, an empty row is
appended to the list.
Ö You can copy modulation rows across different programs and between different plug-
in instances.
MIDI Controller and Note Expression Smoothing
When a MIDI or a Note Expression controller is selected as modulation source, the
Smoothing parameter is available. This allows for parameter changes to occur more
gradually.
The following settings are available:
- Default: Uses the global Smoothing parameter set up on the Options page.
- 1 ms to 1000 ms: Determines the amount of smoothing.
- Off: Deactivates the Smoothing parameter.
Unipolar vs. Bipolar Sources
The polarity of a modulation source specifies the value range it produces.
Unipolar sources produce positive values only. The sources modulate between 0
and +1.
Bipolar sources produce negative and positive values. The sources modulate
between -1 and +1.
By default, some sources are unipolar and others are bipolar. However, you can
change the polarity of a modulation source any time you want.
To change the polarity of a source, click the button to the right of the
corresponding source.
Using the Curve and Range Editor
You can set up a curve and range for each modulation source.
The curve and range editor displays the settings of the currently selected source
marked by a frame in the corresponding modulation row. To adjust the settings of
a different source, click the button to the left of the source you want to edit.
The curve editor allows you to change the characteristic of a modulation. The
displayed curve is superimposed on the modulation source.
This way, you can change the modulation, for example, from linear to exponential or
logarithmic behavior.
By setting the minimum and maximum values, the modulation stays within the
specified range only. In addition, you can specify an offset and a range for the
modulation.
For example, with an offset and range of +50 % only the second half of the
displayed curve will be superimposed on the modulation.
