Modulations
The Modal 001 has four modulation matrices accessible on the front panel.
Sources:
The available sources on the front panel are LFO1, LFO2, Velocity and Aftertouch.
The two other sources are Modulation Wheel and Note (Keytracking), accessible via the screen
controls on the modulation page within the parameters page menu (press 3rd menu button
(C), then type ‘10’ with the keypad).
Note that Modal 001 semi-weighted keyboard is velocity-sensitive and has monophonic
aftertouch. Also, the Joystick is a 4-axes controller and each axis is individually assignable:
ModW (Modulation Wheel) is a possible destination of a joystick axis, which can be used as a
fast way to control the amount of modulation for destinations of ModW.
Destinations:
Modulation destinations are almost the same for all matrices, with the only
difference being the one labelled VCF on the front panel that is Reso instead of Cutoff for the
sources LFO-2, Velo and Note.
More details:
1. Depth:
The global modulation amount for the source, can be positive or negative
2. OSC1/ OSC2:
Are the pitches of the two oscillators. Modulation sources LFO1 and LFO2
directly control each oscillators pitch. However, modulation sources AfterTouch, Note,
ModWheel and Velocity enables a vibrato effect on each oscillator, specifically it assigns
LFO2 to the oscillators pitch with an independant depth amount.
3. Wave1/ Wave2:
Are the waveforms of the two oscillators. Modulating this destination
means that the oscillator will step through the different waveforms (see ‘Oscillators’
section - previously in this same chapter)
4. Slope:
Is the shape of the filter (see ‘Filter’ section - previously in this chapter)
5. Reso:
Is the resonance of the filter (see ‘Filter’ section)
6. Cutoff:
Is the cutoff frequency of the filter (see ‘Filter’ section)
7. Drive:
Is the amount of overdrive distortion (see ‘Mixer’ section - previously in this
chapter)
8. VCA:
Is the volume of the amplifier (see ‘Envelopes’ section - previously in this chapter)
- you can create a classic tremolo effect if applying LFO1 to this, or a more complex
polyphonic tremolo if applying LFO2.
Note that in this page the destination switches can just be turned On/Off (even if using screen
controls) - they cannot be ‘selected in red’ as any other parameter.
