Musician's Manual

MODULATORS

ABOUT MODULATION

modulate

something is simply to cause it to change. Within the Voice architecture of the ESQ-M we begin

by setting basic, or

Manual,

levels for Volume, Pitch, Brightness, etc., and we then

modulate

those

levels in various ways in order to create movement and dynamics within the Sound.

Suppose you switch on your stereo, and turn the volume half way up. We can call this the

Manual

Volume

setting. It will stay at that level until it's changed. Now suppose that you take the Volume knob and begin

quickly turning it up and down, so the volume gets continuously louder and softer, louder and softer. What

you would be doing is

modulating the volume

of your stereo. If you were to take the Treble control,

and do the same to that knob, you would be

modulating the brightness

of your stereo.

In much the same way we modulate various levels within the ESQ-M (though generally the approach is less

haphazard). There are 15 different

Modulation Sources

available, and they can each be independently

assigned to vary the

Manual

levels for:

----> The Pitch of each Oscillator

[OSC 1, OSC

2 and OSC 3]

----> The Volume of each Oscillator

[DCA 1, DCA

2 and

DCA 3]

---->

The

Filter Cutoff Frequency,

or the Brightness of the Program [FILTER]

----> The Depth of the

Low Frequency Oscillators [LFO 1, LFO

2 and

LFO 3]

and ---->

Panning the Program within the stereo mix [DCA 4] Page

The Final Volume of the Program [DCA 4] is a special case — it is always controlled by

Envelope 4 (ENV

4),

which is fixed as its Modulator.

SELECTING A MODULATOR

On each of the

Oscillator Pitch

Pages,

[OSC 1, OSC

2 and

OSC 3],

the

Oscillator Volume

Pages,

[DCA 1, DCA

2 and

DCA 3],

and the FILTER Page, you can select two different Modulators. The

format is similar for all these Pages — the effect of any modulators you select will be added to (or subtracted

from) the Manual Levels that are set elsewhere on the Page.

Take for example the

OSC 1

Page. To select a Modulator (or Modulators) for the pitch of

Oscillator 1,

first select the

OSC 1

Page. Now Scroll to the parameter

MOD 1:

O S C I M O D 1

L F O 1

Use the Data Entry Slider and the Up and Down Arrow Buttons to select from among the 15 available Modulation

Sources. Follow the same procedure to select Modulators on the other Pages listed above.

For modulating Program

Pan (PNMOD

on the

DCA 4

Page) and LFO depth

[LFO 1,LFO

2 and

LFO 3

Pages] only one Modulator can be selected.

Helpful Hint::

Moving the Data Entry Slider all the way up selects *OFF*, which is handy if you don't want

a Modulator applied in a particular location.
