Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard - Manual (Page 60)

Sound Parameter
Blofeld User´s Manual 60
Fade -64…+63
Controls the speed with which the LFO is faded in or out.
With this parameter you can create slowly rising or falling
modulations that might create interest when routed to
pitch or volume.
Parameter Controls of the Modulation Matrix
A modulation can be described as a signal-generating
unit’s influence upon a sound parameter. The terms used
in this context are "Source" and "Destination". The Blofeld
offers 16 independent modulation assignments (slots) each
with individual settings of source, destination and
amount. The Modulation Matrix (Mod Matrix) is the key of
the power of each Waldorf synthesizer, so start
experimenting with it right now.

A complete table of all available sources and
destinations can be found in the Appendix.
Select 1...16
Selects the respective Modulations slots 1 to 16.
Source see table Modulation Sources
Defines the modulation source.
Amount -64…+63
Determines the amount of modulation applied to the
destination. Since the modulation is in fact a
multiplication of the source signal and this parameter, the
resulting amplitude depends on the type of modulation
source you select:
• B For the so-called unipolar modulation sources,
the resulting amplitude lies within the range of
0…+1, if Amount is positive or 0…-1, if Amount is
negative. These sources are: all envelopes, all
MIDI controllers including Modwheel, Foot
control etc., Velocity, Release Velocity, Aftertouch
(Pressure) and Polyphonic Pressure.
• For the so-called bipolar modulation sources, the
resulting amplitude lies within the range of -
1…0…+1. These sources are: all LFOs, Keytrack,
Pitchbend and the Modifiers.
Destination see table Modulation Destinations
Defines the modulation destination.
