RE2: Source 1

Displayed as:

Source1

Initial value:

Direct

Range of adjustment:

see table at page 41

This selects a control source (modulator), which will be routed to the destination set by

RE5

. Setting both

RE2

and

RE3

Direct

means no modulation is deined.

RE3: Source 2

Displayed as:

Source2

Initial value:

Direct

Range of adjustment:

see table at 41

This selects a second control source for the chosen destination. If only one source per
patch is being used, set

RE3

Direct

RE4: Touch controller enable

Displayed as:

TouchSel

Initial value:

Off

Range of adjustment:

Off, Touch1 to Touch8

The touch-sensitive knobs of the eight rotary encoders can be programmed as touch
controllers, initiating a change to a parameter value (deined by

Destination

RE5

) when

touched. Note that

Animate Touch

mode must be enabled for the touch controllers to be

active. The

Animate Touch

menu will conirm that a controller has been assigned by the

appropriate

number being something other than zero. See next chapter for more details

regarding using the touch controllers. Note that when both a touch controller and other
sources (

Source1

and/or

Source 2

) are assigned in the same slot, the touch controller

acts as a switch for the other sources, whose effect will only be heard when the touch
control is activated.

Note that the Touch controls can also be directly assigned to re-trigger/trigger
the envelopes via the Envelope Menus (

RE7

on Page 2 of each Menu)

RE5: Destination

Displayed as:

Destin

Initial value:

0123Ptch

Range of adjustment:

see table at page 42

This sets which UltraNova parameter is to be controlled by the selected source (or
sources) in the current patch. The range of possibilities comprises:
Parameters that directly affect the sound:

• all oscillator pitch (

0123Ptch

)

•  four parameters per oscillator
•  the six mixer inputs from the oscillators, noise source and ring modulators
•  per-ilter distortion amount, frequency and resonance, plus ilter balance
•  34 assorted FX parameters including chorus, delay, EQ etc.

Parameters that can also act as modulating sources (thus permitting recursive modulation):

• LFO 1 to 3 rate
• the Decay phases of Envelope 1 (amplitude) and Envelope 2 (Filter)

RE6: Depth

Displayed as:

Depth

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

-63 to +64

The

Depth

control sets the level of the control being applied to the Destination – i.e., the

parameter being modulated. If both Source 1 and Source 2 are active in the slot in ques-
tion, Depth controls their combined effect.

Depth

effectively deines the “amount” by which the controlled parameter varies

when under modulation control. Think of it as the “range” of control. It also de-
termines the “sense” or polarity of the control – positive

Depth

will increase the

value of the controlled parameter and negative

Depth

will decrease it, for the same control

input. Note that having deined source and destination in a patch, no modulation will occur
until the

Depth

control is set to something other than zero.

With both sources set to

Direct

and

TouchSel

set to

Off

, the

Depth

control

becomes a “manual” modulation control which will always affect whichever
parameter is set as the

Destination

The Touch Controls

As already mentioned in preceding sections of the manual, the UltraNova’s eight rotary
encoders are itted with conductive rubber knobs, making them touch-sensitive. You can
program them to trigger a change in a parameter, and use them in performance to produce
changes in your sound, or effects which may be either subtle or dramatic.

What each Touch Control actually does is programmed in the Envelope and/or Modulation
Menus, and the options available for parameter control by touch are discussed in the rel-
evant manual sections (see pages 20 and 25). However, the touch controls are only active
when Touch Mode has been enabled by pressing the

TOUCH

button [22].

Unlike the other UltraNova menus, the Touch Menu does not provide any parameter
adjustment, it merely conirms the touch control assignments that have been made in other
menus.

While the upper row of the display remains constant, the lower row provides two items of
information:
If Touch Controls have been assigned to trigger modulations set up in the Modulation
Matrix, the number of modulation assignments appears under the letter ‘

’. The value

displayed represents how many individual modulation slots have been set to be triggered
by each touch control. The use of Touch Controls with the Modulation Matrix is described
in full detail on this page.
If a Touch Control has been assigned to one of the envelopes, an ‘

’, ‘

’ or ‘

’ appears

below one of the digits

, the number corresponding to the Envelope number. The use

of Touch Controls with Envelopes is described in full detail at page 20.

Thus if Touch Control 1 has been assigned to re-trigger Envelope 1 (Amplitude) and Touch
Control 2 to trigger Envelope 2 (Filters), the display looks like this:

If two further assignments of parameters to a Touch Control have been made in the Modu-
lation Matrix, a ‘2’ will show below the ‘

’:

Note that with Envelope 1 (Amplitude), re-triggering (

) of the envelope is the only option

available. Envelopes 2 to 5 permit a choice of re-triggering (

), triggering (

) or enable (

)

functions.

Tweak Controls

While playing live, it is often desirable to manually adjust some aspect or other of the sound
– i.e., “tweak” a particular parameter. Although the UltraNova’s design allows access to
most parameters with a minimum of button presses, an even more elegant solution is to
arrange for the main parameters that you may need to tweak to all be available simultane-
ously, regardless in which menu they are normally found. You will ind that all the factory
Patches have some Tweak Controls assigned to them already, but you can change their
function or add others if you wish.

The eight rotary encoders can act as Tweak Controls, and any of 127 parameters may be
assigned to them, in any order. Furthermore, Tweak assignments and settings are saved
along with any other parameter changes, so are always there once you have set them up
and re-saved the Patch. Note that saving Patches to certain categories will automatically
add some Tweak Control assignments for you. But if you have made your own Tweak Con-
trol assignments as part of your Patch creation, these will take priority.

The Tweak Controls are activated by pressing the

TWEAK

button [22], which opens the

Tweak Menu. The menu has two pages: Page 2 is used for setting up the Tweak controls,
while Page 1 is used during performance and displays the parameter name and value as-
signed to each rotary encoder.
