8. THE MODULATION MATRIX
The
Modulation Matrix
extends the MiniFreak's sound design power well beyond the range
of many synthesizers. It allows you to specify which signals are in control, where they exert
their control, and how much.
In effect, the Matrix is a compact version of the one on the MatrixBrute. It uses simple
controls to pack a lot of modulation capability into a very small space.
The word
modulation (often abbreviated "mod") means "change". When you modulate a
signal, you're changing it. That basic definition takes us a long way, as you'll see.
8.1. Select a Routing
When loading a preset the selected routing per default is the top left CycEnv > Pitch 1+2
Your
Matrix
encoder is in
Mod Browse
mode indicated by the absence of light on the
Amount
led.
Turning the
Matrix
encoder will allow you to browse the routings row by row, left to right,
from the top to the bottom row.
Using
Shift+Matrix
encoder will allow you to browse the routings vertically while staying on
the current column.
The currently selected routing LED blinks and shows you where the selection is on the
matrix.
Once you are on the correct position, press the
Matrix
encoder to select this routing.
8.2. Set an Amount
Once you have selected your routing and pressed the
Matrix
encoder, the control will switch
to
Amount
mode reflected by the LED being lit on its right and the MiniFreak screen showing
you the
Amount
for that routing.
Turn the
Matrix
encoder clock-wise to increase or anti clock wise to decrease the amount
set.
Once you have set the desired amount for that routing make sure to click the Matrix encoder
again to jump back into
Mod browsing
mode.
