Modulation

One of the key features of the CronoX 3 is its sophisticated modulation

capabilities. The instrument contains 5 independent ADSFR envelopes, 4

independent LFOs (low frequency oscillators), an Arpeggiator, and a

Modulation Matrix that is used to control modulation routing. The Modulation

panel can be accessed by clicking on the Modulation tab at the top of the

instrument.

The Envelope, LFO, Arpeggiator and Modulation Matrix modules are

described below.
