ARTURIA – Matrix-12 V – USER MANUAL
43
The Envelope parameter group: Tab 2 is selected; the other tabs are circled
A quick glance around the Matrix-12 V parameter window will show that tabs are
also available for the LFOs (5 per Voice) and the Tracking generators (3 per Voice).
There is no shortage of programming options here!
4.1.1.3
Parameters with and without mods
The foundations of each parameter group are the parameters themselves. But you’ll
notice some parameters have buttons containing their names and some do not.
The ones with buttons are available for further tweaking in the Modulation Page.
And while the ones without those buttons can’t be modulated, they can of course
be edited right where they are by turning one of the knobs or toggling a switch,
depending on the parameter.
One more thing: There are some lesser-used but very important parameters
available on a sort of “sub-page”, too. These are found by pressing the Page 2
button on the right side of the nameplate:
4.1.2
The nameplate
As mentioned previously, the function of the nameplate is to allow easy access to
the four different aspects of the bottom panel. All four figure heavily into what a
Voice can do, so the buttons to select them are conveniently located.
4.1.3
The bottom panel
Selecting the various buttons in the nameplate reveals different features of the Main
page. These buttons are not available on the other pages; only the virtual keyboard
will be seen there.
4.1.3.1
Virtual keyboard
The virtual keyboard lets you play a sound without connecting an external MIDI
device; just click a key to hear the active Voice. Drag the cursor across the keys to
hear a glissando.
