Modulation Section
The modulation section is the complete lower part of the middle of relectro,
all below the just described audio processing part. You find 4 modulation
sources here, 2 STEP MODULATIONS and below 2 LFOs and the MATRIX
on the right. So thats look at these one by one:
STEP MODULATION is a set of two modulators, each is capable of
producing from 2 up to 16 modulation values in the range −48 to +48. So its
kind of variable length, adjustable waveform LFO. Or its just up to 16 steps
being used for modulation, whichever view you prefer.
On the right you can adjust both the length of the modulation pattern (2 to
16 individual values / steps) as well as the tempo, which is synced with the
host. Click on the tempo to adjust it and check the note about alignment in
the LFO section below.
Each step has a value in the range −48 to +48, which translates into min…
max in most cases, e.g. When modulating the WAVE REPLACE (using the
MATRIX). When modulating the PITCH NOTE however, it exactly translates
into semitones, so −48 to +48 semitones.
Below that there are two constantly running LFO’s. An LFO is an oscillator
that generates low frequency signals that are used to modulate certain
parameters of the signal processing. Each of the LFO's uses one of the
waveforms shown (sine, triangle, saw, pulse, random or sample/hold) and
an individual tempo setting (click on it to open a menu with all available
values).
The LFO’s are always synced to both host tempo and song position.
Note about alignment: With a tempo slower then a full note ( e.g. 4/1 ) as
well as with broken values which not align exactly with one bar (e.g.
7/16
th ) the modulation might not align properly with the audio material that
