Modulation Matrix

Routes modulation sources to parameters across the entire synth with adjustable depth.

Using the Matrix

In Advanced, open the modulation matrix. It has three pages, each with eight source rows and eight destination columns.

  1. Select a source row header and choose a source; use search to narrow the list.
  2. Select a destination column header and browse the parameter groups or search by name.
  3. Adjust the amount in the cell where that row and column meet. Positive and negative amounts give opposite modulation directions.
  4. Use another page when you need more room to organize your routes.

Sources

Source Description
LFO 1 Sine, triangle, square, saw, inverted saw
LFO 2 Same waveforms as LFO 1
Random Sample-and-hold random value
Mod Env 4-stage ADSR modulation envelope
Velocity MIDI note-on velocity (0-127)
Mod Wheel MIDI CC 1
Aftertouch Channel pressure or poly aftertouch
Macro 1-4 User-assignable macro knobs (MIDI CC 8, 41, 42, 43)

Destinations (195 total)

Category Count Examples
Global 2 Volume, Pitch
Line 1 13 DcwBase, DcaBase, AlgoBlend, Octave, AlgoControl1-8
Line 2 12 DcwBase, DcaBase, AlgoBlend, Detune, AlgoControl1-8
WARNING

AlgoBlend and Octave/Detune are listed as modulation destinations but do not currently modulate the signal. Modulation support for these destinations is planned for a future update.

MIDI Learn

Bind any MIDI CC to any modulatable parameter for tactile control.

  1. Right-click (or Alt-click) a parameter.
  2. Move a knob or fader on your MIDI controller.
  3. The binding is stored with your preset.
INFO

Not all controls support MIDI Learn yet. Blend, Octave, and the 12-octave range controls do not currently accept MIDI bindings.

Routing

Each route: Source + Destination + Depth (positive or negative).

Quick Tips

TIP
  • Vibrato: LFO 1 -> Vibrato Depth
  • Tremolo: LFO 2 -> Volume
  • Expressive filter: Mod Wheel -> FilterCutoff
  • Auto-wah: Aftertouch -> FilterCutoff
  • Rising pad: Mod Env -> DCW Envelope depth
