3.1 Further TransMod operations
Setting a TransMod source to uni-polar or bi-polar operation
By default, all TransMod modulation sources act as uni-polar sources. In other words, the
modulation occurs only in one direction - from the initial Source value towards the maximum
modulation value. The modulation depth can be positive (increases the parameter's value) or
negative (decreases the value), but not both.
You can also set each source to act in a bi-polar way, so that the modulation occurs in both
directions from the initial Source value.
In the following example, LFO1 is shown first as a uni-polar source, modulating the Mid drive
stage's Dynamics control.
By right-clicking on the LFO1 TransMod button, it is then set to bi-polar mode by clicking on Bi-
polar modulator in the TransMod source context menu that appears. The modulation then occurs
in both directions, as shown by the indicator that moves to show the current value of the
parameter after being modulated.
Right-click on the TransMod button and click on
'Bi-polar m odulator'
Note the real-tim e indicator show ing the
current value as a result of sw itching to
bi-polar m ode
To return a modulation source to uni-polar operation, use the Uni-polar modulator function on
the TransMod source context menu.
Managing TransMod modulation
Displaying which TransMod sources are modulating a parameter
To see which TransMod sources are modulating a Maul parameter, move the mouse over the
control. Any TransMod sources which contain destination modulation depths on the parameter flash
on the interface.
Control context menu
Right-click on a Maul parameter to display its context menu, which contains several functions
relating to managing TransMod modulation.
Remove modulation from control
C lick this function to remove the modulation depth on this control for the currently selected
TransMod source.
Remove all modulation from control
C lick this function to remove the modulation depths on this control for all TransMod sources that
contain modulation depths on it.
