Sound Parameters – Modulation Speed Levels
Waldorf Q User’s Manual 58
Fast Modulation
Though not calculated in sample speed, the Fast Modulation calculations are performed in audio
speed: more than 5000 times per second (>5kHz). Most of the modulations in the Q are performed at
this speed level. The following table lists all pre-routed Fast Modulation destinations:
Pre-routed Modulation destinations Description
Oscillator PitchMod Global pitch modulation of all three Oscillators at once
Oscillator 1 PWM Pulse width modulation of Oscillator 1
Oscillator 2 PWM Pulse width modulation of Oscillator 2
Oscillator 3 PWM Pulse width modulation of Oscillator 3
Filter 1 CutoffMod Cutoff modulation of Filter 1
Filter 1 Env Envelope amount of Filter 1 cutoff
Filter 1 Velo Envelope velocity amount of Filter 1 cutoff
Filter 1 PanMod Panning modulation of Filter 1 output
Filter 2 CutoffMod Cutoff modulation of Filter 2
Filter 2 Env Envelope amount of Filter 2 cutoff
Filter 2 Velo Envelope velocity amount of Filter 2 cutoff
Filter 2 PanMod Panning modulation of Filter 2 output
Amplifier AmpMod Amplitude modulation
Amplifier Volume Output shaped by the Amplifier Envelope
Table 4: Pre-routed Modulation destinations
In addition to the pre-routed Fast Modulation destinations, the Q offers eight slots for individual
routing connections that are updated at the same speed level: the Fast Modulation Matrix. The
following table lists all available destinations for a Fast Modulation Matrix slot:
