Etch internal modulators
Almost all modulation in Etch Red relies on the TransMod modulation system. The exceptions are
the FM and Key Track functions in Filter1 and Filter2.
Output indicator meters
Note the black-windowed meter-style indicators to the right of each internal modulator's name.
This is a real-time representation of the amplitude of each modulator's output.
Sync buttons
The internal clocks in the LFOs and S&H
modules are synchronized to the Reason
tempo by default, with the Rate control
determining the speed in BPM-based values.
When Sync is enabled, automating the Rate
control results in the phase being resynced,
meaning that an abrupt transition may occur.
This is necessary to remain synchronized and
retain consistency upon repeated playback.
Deactivate the Sync button for any module - such as LFO2 in the example above - so that its Rate
control can be set in Hz. While in this mode, automating the Rate control does not change the
phase.
