Scalers & Lag | Scaler
Scalers allow you to scale the amount of a modulation source (for example scaling ENV1 with note
velocity will change the volume of the note according to its velocity).
The lag operator will lowpass filter a modulation source. It can be used to smooth a source, for
example a square LFO.
Scalers 1&2
Scaler1 Scaler2
mod>lfo2 +63 vel>env1 +32
You have access to scalers source, destination and amount, like the modulation matrix page.
Scaler 3 & Lag
Scaler1 LAG src amt
env3>lfo2 -20 lfo3 100
Here you can set scaler 3 source, destination and amount, as well as the lag source and amount.
About the scaler amount
To better understand what the scaler is doing, let’s take an example: say you scale LFO2 with
modulation wheel and LFO2 is routed to filter cutoff with a value of +40 in the filter page.
If you set the scaler amount to max (+63):
When modulation is set to max, LFO2 will change the filter cutoff, the maximum amount being set
in Filter page, that is +40
When modulation wheel is set to 0, LFO2 will have no effect on filter cutoff
Now, what does happen if you set the scaler amount to 50% (+32)
When modulation is set to max, LFO2 will change the filter cutoff, the maximum amount being set
in Filter page, that is +40
But when modulation wheel is set to 0, LFO2 WILL have an effect on Filter cutoff, the more the
scaler amount, the less the effect, here at 50% of +40, which is +20.
