Sound Parameters – Modifier Matrix
Waldorf Q User’s Manual 132
Modifier Matrix
Modifiers allow you to perform mathematical functions on modulation signals. Depending on the
function type selected, calculation is done between two source signals or between a source signal
and a constant parameter. You can use up to four independent modifier units. The result of each
operation is not processed directly but can be used as input source for the Standard Modulation
Matrix. Also you can use it again as source for another modifying process.
Matrix Edit Menu
All parameters related to the Modifier Matrix are located in the Matrix Edit Menu. Press the Master
section’s Matrix button and select the respective pages Md1…Md4 with the Page Dial.
Source #1 see Table “Standard Modulation Sources”
Selects the first source signal used for the calculation.
Source #2 see Table “Standard Modulation Sources”
Selects the second source signal when two sources are required for the calculation. See description of
modifier functions for further details. The possible settings are the same as for Source #1 with one
exception: “Off” is replaced by “constant” meaning that the calculation is performed with a constant
value that you can set up with the Constant parameter.
Operation (Oper.) see Table “Modifier functions”
Determines which kind of operation will be performed on the selected input sources. The following
types are available:
Setting Description
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
XOR Exclusive OR function
OR OR function
AND AND function
min Minimum value
MAX Maximum value
Table 15: Modifier functions
The result of a modifier operation always lies within the range - max…0…+max. When it is assigned
to a parameter in the Modulation Matrix, it is scaled to the range of the selected parameter.
The following paragraph describes the function and the result of each modifier function in detail:
• + Returns the sum of Source #1 and Source #2.
• - Returns the difference of Source #1 and Source #2.
• * Returns the product of Source #1 and Source #2.
• AND Returns the binary and operation of Source #1 and Source #2.
• OR Returns the binary or operation of Source #1 and Source #2.
• XOR Returns the binary exclusive-or operation of Source #1 and Source #2.
• min Returns the minimum value of either Source #1 or Source #2. If Source #1 is
smaller than Source #2, the value of Source #1 is returned and vice versa.
