The other two envelopes are described in this section [p.32] . But here's a quick summary:
• The VCF ENV can shape the harmonic content of both filters. It has the same
controls as the VCA ENV, so it can affect timbre the same way VCA ENV affects
amplitude. Note that VCF ENV Amt interacts with Cutoff to provide headroom for
the VCF ENV to work.
• The MOD ENV is a 5-stage envelope with a Delay stage prior to the Attack stage
(DADSR). It only affects the patch when used as a modulation source in the Mod
Matrix [p.48] .
3.2.5. Enter the Matrix
The true power of PolyBrute lies in how its parameters interact. For a glimpse of this we'll
set up a couple of modulation routes in the Matrix. But first an overview of the Mod Matrix:
• It holds 32 mod routes arranged in 4 pages of 8 destinations each
• Up to 64 connections can be made within those 32 routes
• Sources are clearly labeled (rows A-L)
• Easy destination assignment: hold an Assign button under the display, move a
knob or fader
• Quick connections: press the Matrix button where the source and destination
intersect
• Simple mod edits: select a route, turn the Amount knob in either direction
3.2.5.1. Add LFO to VCO pitch
1. Starting with an initialized patch [p.14] , press the large Mods button.
2. To connect LFO 1 to VCO pitch (Pitch Global), press Matrix button D1. The button
turns purple to indicate the connection, and a pop-up window shows "Amount: 0
semitones".
3. Hold a note and turn the Amount knob in either direction. Pitch modulation is
heard.
4. Turn the LFO 1 Rate knob to change the modulation speed, etc.
5. To break the mod connection, press button D1 again. A dark button means there
is no connection.
6. Press D1 again to reconnect the route, then press any other Matrix button. D1 turns
blue to indicate an active mod route, and the purple button indicates the current
selection.
3.2.5.2. Aftertouch control of VCF 2 cutoff
1. Starting with an initialized patch [p.14] , press the large Mods button.
2. To assign the VCF 2 cutoff as mod destination 4, hold Assign button 4 and turn
the Ladder Cutoff knob.
3. To connect Aftertouch to VCF 2 cutoff, press Matrix button I4. The button turns
purple to indicate the connection, and a pop-up window shows "Amount: 0%".
4. Use the Amount knob to select a value of -100%.
5. Play a key and slowly increase the pressure on the key. The VCF 2 cutoff
frequency decreases as pressure increases.
We've barely scratched the surface! There's an entire chapter dedicated to the Mod Matrix
[p.48] . But a great way to learn more is to peek inside your favorite patches and see how the
modulation routes were used.
