PROGRAMMING BASICS
Planet Phatt has an extensive modulation implementation using two
multi-wave LFO’s (Low Frequency Oscillators), two envelope genera-
tors and the ability to respond to multiple MIDI controllers. You can
simultaneously route any combination of these control sources to
multiple destinations.
MODULATION
Modulation means to
dynamically change
a parameter, whether it be
the volume (amplitude modulation), the pitch (frequency modula-
tion), or whatever. Turning the volume control on your home stereo
rapidly back and forth would be an example of amplitude modulation.
To modulate something we need a modulation
source
and a modula-
tion
destination.
The source is your hand turning the knob, and the
destination is the volume control. If we had a device that would
automatically turn the volume control, we would also call that device
a modulation source. The Planet Phatt is designed so that for each of
the variable parameters, such as the volume, there is an initial setting
which can be changed by a modulation source. Therefore in the case
of volume, we have an initial volume and we can change or modulate
that volume with a modulation source. Two main types of modulation
sources on Planet Phatt are
Envelope Generators
and
Low Frequency
Oscillators
. In the example above, an envelope generator could be
routed to automatically turn the volume control as programmed by
the envelope. Or, a low frequency oscillator could be routed to auto-
matically turn the volume control up and down in a repeating fash-
ion.
Turning the volume control back and forth on your home stereo is an example of
Amplitude Modulation.
