Perf source sub-menu
This sub-menu contains the two performance controllers, shown to the left of the pitch-bend wheel on each synth’s on-
screen keyboard area. Each of these have an assigned monophonic hardware MIDI controller source, which is defined in
each synth’s preferences panel.
The hardware assignments for these controls can be altered via MIDI Learn or the preferences panel. See section 7:4 for
details.
All presets supplied with DCAM: Synth Squad use these performance controllers in TransMod slots 2 and 3 (alongside
key-on velocity in slot 1). It is highly recommended to keep to this standard, especially if you intend to share your own
presets with others.
Perf1+ Performance controller 1: default source for TransMod slot 2
Factory default assignment: modulation wheel (MIDI CC #1)
Perf2+ Performance controller 2: default source for TransMod slot 3
Factory default assignment: MnPress (mono pressure or channel aftertouch)
Polyphonic sources
Polyphonic modulation occurs for each voice. For example, all the main modulators on Strobe’s interface, such as the
LFO, Ramp and envelopes, are polyphonic – there is a separate, distinct LFO, Ramp and 2 envelopes for each voice that
is playing.
TransMod sources are not limited to LFOs, envelopes and ramps: random and voice/unison sources are available,
amongst many others.
Poly source sub-menu
Polyphonic keyboard input
• OnVel+ Key-on velocity: default source for TransMod slot 1
Modulate the
Amp
parameter with this source in order to vary amplitude with velocity.
The Vel Glide control creates glide times to new notes’ OnVel modulation values, allowing a
further expressive element to your playing.
• Key-off velocity
• Pitch
+
-
Derived from keys played on the keyboard – increases by 1 for each octave going up the
keyboard
It can be used to harness polyphonic keytrack and pitch glide modulation for any parameter.
• Press

Poly pressure (polyphonic aftertouch)
Polyphonic aftertouch keyboards are very rare, but the source is provided for use in the
TransMod system if you do possess one.
• K Keyboard zone 1: 0 at A2 and lower, 0.5 at A3, 1 at A4 and higher
• K Keyboard zone 2: 0 at A4 and lower, 0.5 at A5, 1 at A6 and higher
See section 7:7 for details of the Keyzone sources.
Polyphonic gate/trigger sources
These are very similar to the monophonic gate/trigger sources, except that they operate polyphonically (they can occur
multiple times depending on the number of available voices).
They simply output a value or 0 or 1 depending on various 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 (try using them as scalers), 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
Retriggering occurs according to the state of the
Retrig button (returns to 0 and
immediately to 1).
• P 1 if one or more keys are held down, but retriggers on every key-on (returns to 0 and
immediately to 1)
• This is the same as , except that it outputs a 1 and then returns to 0 immediately
when keys are played.
