81 Prophet X User’s Guide Pitch and Mod Wheels
Modulation Wheel
The mod wheel controls the amount of modulation for any program that
uses it as a modulation source. This allows you to “perform” modulation in
real time by moving the wheel. This is a great way to add expressiveness
to a sound or performance by using it to control vibrato, filter effects, and
potentially a lot more.
To choose a modulation destination for the Mod wheel:
1. In the
modulation
section, press the
assign source
button. Use Soft
Knob 1 to scroll to Mod Slot 1 if it’s not already displayed.
2. Use Soft Knob 2 to scroll through the various mod sources and choose
mod wheel
.
3. Use the Soft Knob 4 to scroll through the various mod destinations and
choose a parameter (such as
cutoff
).
4. Hold down a note on the keyboard (or press the
hold
button and play a
note on the keyboard) and turn the mod wheel.
5. Use the Soft Knob 3 to set the modulation amount to your preference.
Higher
amount
settings add greater modulation the further you push
the mod wheel. A negative amount setting will apply modulation in the
negative direction.
As a shortcut, you can hold down the
assign source
button and move the mod
wheel to quickly assign this modulation path.
