3 TransMod modulation
Using TransMod modulation
The TransMod modulation system allows you to route a single modulation source to multiple
synthesis and effect parameters, each with its own definable depth.
Modulation depths are represented visually on the parameter itself, rather than in an abstract list
of assignments.
TransMod modulation occurs at control rates, in 32-sample blocks.
There are 2 types of 'views' of the synthesis parameters:
Initial Source view (Source)
To activate this view, click the Source button (this button is activated by default).
In this view, no modulation depths can be viewed or created. You simply set the initial value of
any parameters before any modulation occurs.
TransMod modulation source views
To the right of the Source button are a number of buttons which represent the various TransMod
modulation sources that are available.
C licking any of these buttons means that you can view and create modulation depths from the
TransMod source to Maul's parameters. Modulation depths can be seen and set visually on
parameters, with indicators showing the current state of the control.
The modulation depth that is set represents the maximum amount of modulation possible from the
TransMod source. The changing intensity of the TransMod source, and the combined effect of any
other TransMod sources which have been routed to the parameter, dictate the actual modulation
that occurs at any one time.
Only one TransMod source 'view' is visible at any one time.
In the following example, LFO1 is modulating the Drive parameter in the Mid drive stage.
The extent of the modulation depth shown represents the maximum amount of possible
modulation away from the Source value - in this example, when the LFO has reached its maximum
point.
With the Source button selected, no
m odulation is show n. Note the real-tim e
indicator show ing the current value of
the Mid stage Drive control.
With the LFO1 TransMod source selected,
the destination m odulation am ount is
show n around the Mid stage Drive control.
