8:8 Modulation in Fusor
FuseMod
Fusor’s modulation system, FuseMod, is very similar in concept to the TransMod system in Strobe, Cypher and Amber. It
allows most parts of Fusor to modulate each other with control-rate signals, providing many possibilities that can only be
found in semi-modular synths.
For example, synths can modulate each other’s parameters, or those of FX, while being modulated by the macro controls,
the Animator step-sequencer/arpeggiator and the extra MonoMod modulators (LFOs and envelope followers). The
possibilities with FuseMod are limited only by your imagination!
You can think about it as a system that exposes ‘CV inputs and outputs’ for most parameters.
It is important to note that all of the FuseMod modulation capabilities are for control signals only – LFOs, envelopes,
ramps, sequencer modulation and so on – and not for audio signals.
Make sure to carefully read chapter 7, which describes the TransMod system. Most of the same functionality exists in the
FuseMod system.
Devices that can be modulated
The following Fusor devices feature FuseMod modulation slots:
Device FuseMod slots on each
LFOs (4) 2
Animator Graph modulation (Advanced engine type) 4
Animator External Clock Source 1
Synth channel insert FX (3 FX on each of 3 channels) 4
Aux FX (3) 4
Main FX (3) 4
Using the FuseMod system
The FuseMod system is functionally very similar to the TransMod system found in the
individual DCAM synths (see chapter 7 for a full guide to the TransMod system).
FuseMod slots work identically to TransMod slots. Therefore, FuseMod slots, sources and
scalers are selected in the same way, with the same highlighting and mouseover indicators.
This functionality is described in sections 7:2 and 7:3.
FuseMod modulation sources
The following modulation sources are available in all FuseMod modulation slots.
• Perf1 [+]
• Perf2 [+] Performance controller MIDI CC assignments, like macro controls, are stored in
the Fusor preferences and are designed to be accessible across all Fusor presets
which feature these modulation sources.
These are uni-polar sources.
• Macro 1-8 [+] The 8 macro controls are conceptually similar to the performance controllers
described above – they are designed to allow quick access to important
parameters in Fusor presets. These controls are always visible at the top-right of
the Fusor interface, regardless of which page is currently in view.
They are uni-polar sources.
• Step1-4 The modulation value output from each of Animator’s 4 engines, bi-polar
• Step1-4 [+] The modulation value output from each of Animator’s 4 engines, uni-polar
• LFO1-4 The output of the 4 MonoMod LFOs, bi-polar
• LFO1-4 [+] The output of the 4 MonoMod LFOs, uni-polar
• EnvFl1-4 [+] The output of the 4 MonoMod Envelope followers, uni-polar
• Syn A selection of control-rate modulation sources from each synth
These sources can be uni-polar or bi-polar. See below for details.
• ModWheel [+]
• Breath [+]
• Expr [+]
• MonoBend
• MonoPress [+] These are monophonic keyboard input sources which function in the same way as
the identically named TransMod sources described in section 7:8.
They are all uni-polar except MonoBend (pitch-bend wheel), which is bi-polar.
• KeyRand Provides a new random number between -1 and 1 on each key-on, bi-polar
