PAN 1 , PAN 2 : the stereo panning position of the two output signals. Modulation signals connected to these
destinations are added to the current position of the Pan sliders in the Master Controls section. Use this
destination to make Ronin’s output move around in the stereo field.
OUTPUT 1 LEVEL, OUTPUT 2 LEVEL : the loudness level of the two output signals. Modulation signals
connected to these destinations are added to the current position of the Output sliders in the Master section.
Use this destination to create tremolo effects with an LFO, or ducked-delay effects with the envelope follower.
Want to simply gate audio by playing a note on your keyboard to create transformer effects? Use the MIDI
gate modulation source and this modulation destination.
To make a connection in the matrix, click at the intersection of the source and destination that you wish to
connect. A white square indicates that a connection is made between the source and destination. Click again
on the dot to remove a connection. Hold down the
CTRL key on your keyboard and click anywhere in the matrix
to remove all of the connections at once.
Depth Controls
Each modulation destination—that is, each parameter that can be modulated—has a modulation depth control.
The modulation depth controls are the small sliders to the right of the destination names in the Control
Routing matrix. These sliders determine how much the modulation signals affect the parameter. If the depth
control is at its center position (which is its default position), the modulation signal has no effect on the
parameter. Regardless of which modulation signals you connect to this destination in the modulation switch
matrix, the parameter will not respond to these signals if the depth control is at its center position. As you
move the depth slider to the right, the modulation signal has an increasing effect on the parameter. If you
move the slider only slightly above its center position, you will hear only a small change in the parameter as it
responds to the modulation signal. A small amount of modulation is useful for effects that require only small
changes in parameter values, such as varying the delay time in a flanger. If you move the slider to the far
right of its range, you will hear the parameter change over a wide range in response to the modulation signal.
Large amounts of modulation are useful for complete changes in parameter values, such as panning a signal
all the way from one side of the stereo field to the other or sweeping a filter’s frequency from completely
closed to completely open.
If you move a depth control’s slider downwards from its center position, the modulation signal is inverted
before affecting the parameter. As you move the slider to the left, the modulation signal has a greater effect
on the parameter—but in the opposite direction than if you move the slider to the right. For example, suppose
the envelope follower is connected to one of the filter’s frequency controls, and the frequency control’s depth
control is moved upward from its center position. The filter frequency will increase when the incoming signal
becomes louder, because the envelope follower generates a positive modulation signal that is proportional to
