7:8 Summary of TransMod sources
DCAM: Synth Squad features a wide variety of interesting modulation sources to use with TransMod slots (either as
sources or scalers).
In the list below, sources are denoted as follows:
+ Uni-polar / uni-directional (only positive values: 0 to 1)
+
-
Bi-polar
/ bi-directional (positive & negative values: -1 to 1)
- Inverted (this is only for envelopes and ramps)
Monophonic sources
Monophonic TransMod sources operate globally on all active voices – they do not operate individually for each voice.
Most of them are continuous MIDI messages such as MIDI CCs, mono pressure (channel aftertouch) or mod wheel.
There are also a number of numeric constants, a set of mono gates and song-phase ramps.
• Numeric
constants
0, 0.1,0.5,
1, 2, 10, -1
Numeric constants are very useful scalers.
1 is the default scaler for all TransMod slots, meaning that each source is unchanged before
modulating the destination parameters.

Common MIDI controllers
These are provided to facilitate direct control of a TransMod slot from common MIDI performance controllers.
DCAM: Synth Squad also provides the dedicated Perf1 and Perf2 controllers, which are intended to be your 2 main
performance controls. They are defined using the preferences panel in each DCAM plugin (including Fusor). Each plugin
features its own set of defaults. Performance controllers are covered later in this section.
• Mod+ Modulation wheel – MIDI CC #1
• Breath controller – MIDI CC #2
• Expr+ Expression – MIDI CC #11
• MonoBend

Pitch bend
• Mono pressure (channel aftertouch)
Monophonic gate/trigger sources
These sources simply output a value of 1 or 0 depending on several conditions.
Normally, gate and trigger sources are used for various types of gateable modulator behaviour. However, they are also
provided as TransMod sources for complex modulation operations, or as a way of achieving quick pulses for filter stabs
and so on without having to use an envelope.
• Outputs 1 if one or more keys are held down, otherwise 0
• M Outputs 1 if one or more keys are held down, but is retriggered on every key-on (output
returns to 0 and immediately to 1)
• Outputs 1 then immediately 0 on key-on when a note is played after all notes are off
• S Outputs 0 if the host song is not playing, and 1 if it is playing – this gates on the nearest
beat
Song phase
These sources provide a saw-up ramp synchronized to the host tempo. Normally, song phase is used for mono free-
running gateable modulators with repeatable behaviour, but they are also provided in the TransMod system for extra mono
LFOs synced to 1 or 4 beats of the host tempo.
• Phase1
+
-
Song phase: a saw-up ramp from 0 to 1 per beat, based on song position
• As above, but uni-polar
• Phase2
+
-
Song phase: a saw-up ramp from 0 to 1 over 4 beats, based on song position
• As above, but uni-polar
