Oscillator Modulation Matrix
This is an extremely powerful feature of the Supernova II Rack. These controls affect the modulation of the selected oscillator. The
buttons on the left are all “Destinations”. They can all be modulated by the “Sources” which are the buttons on the right. The
amount of modulation applied from any source is determined by the setting of the Mod Depth Knob. This can be either Positive
modulation ( Turning the Mod Depth Knob Clockwise ) or Negative modulation. ( Turning the Mod Depth Knob Anticlockwise )
Additionally there is a manual Level Knob that allows a static “Offset” or “level” to be applied to any of the destinations.
For example, to adjust the level of the “Harden” setting of Oscillator 1 press the “Osc 1” button ( it will light up indicating it is select-
ed ) & then press the “Harden” button within the modulation section to define the modulation destination. Now adjusting the Level
knob will change the Harden setting of Oscillator 1.
Similarly to adjust the level of envelope 3 modulation of the “Harden” setting of Oscillator 1, press the “Osc 1” button ( it will light up
indicating it is selected ) & then press the “Harden” button within the modulation section to define the modulation destination. Press
the Env 3 button to define the modulation source. Now adjusting the Mod depth knob clockwise will modulate the Harden setting of
Oscillator 1 by envelope 3.
This makes it possible for all modulation sources to affect any one destination in varying amounts & even in different polarities.
The display will change to indicate the parameter that has been selected & display the newly edited value. The Display will stay
like this until another parameter is adjusted, in which case it will change to display the new parameter. To return to the display of
the Program / Performance name & number press the Program or Performance button.
Only one source & destination can be edited at one time.
Even though only one source & destination combination can be edited at one time, All available combinations can happen at the
same time
Some combinations do not apply. i.e. Pulse Width Modulation of Noise Generator. When such a parameter is edited the display
shows “Not Available” & no audible effect is heard.
