When a TransMod slot is selected (see below), the synth’s controls can be adjusted in the following ways:
You can also double-click
outside the slider cap,
type a value and press
ENTER or RETURN.
Click outside the slider cap and
drag up/down.
The slider cap divides and the
modulation depth from the initial
value is set.
You can also move the part of the
slider cap with the arrow to adjust
modulation depth.
TransMod slot selected:
Setting modulation depth
Click the slider cap and drag
up/down, or double-click to type
