Modulation Processors
Overview
Modulation Processors transform a modulation signal to make it into something new. The original modulation signal
also remains available. There are two Modulation Processors per Program.
The Modulation Processor outputs appear in the list of modulation sources, just like the LFOs and Envelopes.
Type
[Gate, Offset, Quantize, Scale, Curve, Smooth, Sum ]
This controls the type of processing performed by the Mod Processor. Each is described in detail below.
Gate
This lets you switch between two modulation sources (or fixed values) using a third modulation source.
It’s similar to an audio gate with a side-chain, but with even more flexibility–since you get to choose what happens when
the gate is closed (below the threshold), as well as when it’s open (above the threshold).
For instance, you can use Gate to:
• Apply pitch-bend or other effects to some notes, but not to others (using Control at Note-On Only)
• Apply modulation only after the source reaches a certain threshold–for instance, use Velocity to modulate an LFO’s
frequency, but only once Velocity is greater than 90
• Use a controller to switch between two different LFOs (or any two modulation sources)

This selects the modulation source to control the Gate.
Threshold
[-100…+100]
This sets the value of the Control Source at which the gate opens or closes.
Control at Note-On Only
[Off, On]
When this is
On
, the value of the Control Source is only evaluated at note-on. The selected output will then remain
active throughout the duration of the note, regardless of any subsequent change in the Control Source’s value. Note that
the output value itself can continue to change; only the selection of Below or At & Above is fixed.
