12 - Synthesizer Basics Modulation Destinations Modulation Destinations The Cords section of the Preset Edit module is where you connect sources to destinations. Each cord has an amount control associated with it to control how much modulation is applied. Key # Velocity Gate Pitch Retrigger Sample LFOs MIDI Controls Envelope Gen. Envelope Gen. Amp The Cords screen and the diagram above show how modulation sources are connected to destinations. The modulation sources can control any of the destinations in the voice. Note-on modulation sources, such as key, velocity and gate output a single value at note-on time. Realtime modulation sources such as LFOs, envelope generators and modulation wheels can be varied continuously. The possible modulation routings are completely flexible as shown in the diagram above. Multiple sources can control the same destination, or a single source can control multiple destinations. Control Value + ~ < Loop info.

Modulation Processors Modulation processors are devices which can modify modulation sources such as LFOs and envelope generators before they are applied to a destination. The modulation processors allow you to create patches and do tricks which would not be possible otherwise. The following modulation processors are currently implemented: Summing Amp Allows you to add several modulation sources so the output can be controlled by a single Cord Amount. Switch Outputs a full value (100) level whenever the input is greater than zero. Lag Processors Slow down rapid changes in the input signal. The output "lags" behind the input. Rate is adjustable. Absolute Value Inverts negative values and leaves positive values untouched. Outputs only positive values. Diode Blocks negative values and allows positive values to pass untouched. Quantizer With the input Cord set to 100% the output is limited to 16 discrete steps. 4x Gain This processor multiplies the input value by a factor of four. Used to amplify modulation sources. Flip-Flop Alternates between 1 and 0 each time the input goes positive from a negative input. # of Steps DC Sum Switch (above zero) Lag Processor Absolute Value Diode Quantizer 4x Gain x y Flip-Flop x y 12 - Synthesizer Basics Modulation Processors E-MU Systems 285 Rate Size of Steps
