Modulation

Each zone has its own modulators and an 18 row modulation matrix. Every voice runs its own copy. Groups have a similar set, running once for the group.

	Zone	Group
Envelopes	AMP EG plus EG2 to EG5	GRP EG1 plus GEG2 to GEG5
LFOs	LFO 1 to 4	GLFO 1 to 4
Phasors	A to D	A to D
Randoms	A to D	A to D
Envelope followers	2	2
Matrix rows	18	18

Envelopes

The AMP EG controls the zone’s volume. The other envelopes do nothing until routed in the matrix. EG2 to EG5 share one panel as tabs; in a group, so do GEG2 to GEG5.

Each envelope has delay, attack, hold, decay, sustain and release, with shape controls for attack, decay and release. The metronome button in the panel header syncs all of the envelope’s times to the host tempo, so they are set in note values. The menu sets how the envelope follows the note:

• Gated (DAHDSR): holds at sustain until the key is released.
• No Sustain
• Oneshot
• Sample Gated (zones only)

In No Sustain and Oneshot, the sustain slider becomes a breakpoint, B. The AMP EG title shows the mode, such as AMP EG (OneShot).

Group envelopes also have Gate on Voice Sounding, which keeps the envelope gated while any voice in the group sounds.

LFOs

Choose a shape from the LFO menu:

• Sine, Triangle, Saw, Pulse, Smooth Noise, S&H Noise, with rate, phase, deform and angle, plus delay, attack and release.
• Step Sequencer: 1 to 32 steps. Drag to draw.
• Envelope: a DAHDSR envelope with a rate multiplier and loop.

The trigger mode sets when the LFO restarts: KEYTRIG, SONGPOS, RANDOM, RELEASE or ONESHOT.

The metronome button in the panel header syncs the LFO’s rate, and its delay, attack, release and envelope times, to the host tempo.

MISC and AUDIO

The MISC tab holds the phasors and randoms.

• Phasors ramp in time with the song or the voice, at a note division or a ratio of the tempo.
• Randoms pick a new value when the voice or group starts, from a choice of distributions.

The AUDIO tab holds two envelope followers, taken before or after the processors.

The modulation matrix

Each row connects a SOURCE to a TARGET with a depth. A VIA source scales the row, and a curve can reshape the source. The source menus also set smoothing, from 10 to 500 ms.

The curve menu has powers and simple maps such as x^2 and 1 - x, and the Rectifiers, Comparators, Waveforms, Scale and Curve 01 remappers categories. The remappers are rising and falling curves for a 0 to 1 source: early or late, slow or fast.

Zone sources include the LFOs and envelopes, the group’s LFOs and envelopes (GEG 1 to GEG 5), MIDI (mod wheel, velocity, release velocity, aftertouch, pitch bend), MIDI CCs, key tracking, MPE, note expressions, voice state, phasors, randoms, envelope followers and the part’s macros. The Voice category includes Release Countdown, for release triggers.

Zone targets include envelope and LFO parameters, zone tune, pan and amplitude, sample Start Pos, every processor parameter, and the depth of other matrix rows. A negative Start Pos amount can start a voice before the start marker, or past the end marker on a reversed zone, as far as the sample runs.

The depth tooltip shows the target’s value at rest and at full throw. For a bipolar source it shows both directions, and the depth bar also shows the opposite throw faintly.

If a row targets a processor parameter that is no longer there, because the slot was changed, the row is greyed and named like P1.4: none. Changing the slot back brings the route back.

Right-click a row for Copy, Paste, Duplicate to, Swap with and Move to. With one of a row’s controls focused, Cmd/Ctrl+C copies the row, Cmd/Ctrl+V pastes over it and Cmd/Ctrl+X copies it and clears it.

Macros

Each part has 16 macros, edited in the MACROS tab of the mapping pane. A macro can be Unipolar, Bipolar or a Toggle, and can be renamed. Macros are available as modulation sources in every zone and group of the part, and appear to your DAW as plugin parameters.
