EXS24 mkII modulation router
Use the EXS24 mkII modulation router
The modulation router spans the center of the EXS24 mkII interface. If you are new to synthesizer
modulation routings, see Modulation overview on page 488.
Modulation destinations
are shown at the top of
each modulation routing.
The modulation intensity
slider is not divided
when there is no active
via source.
Modulation sources are
shown at the bottom of
each modulation routing.
Via sources are shown
in the middle of each
modulation routing.
The modulation intensity
slider divides into two
halves when a via
source is active.
Any modulation source can be connected to any modulation destination, or target—much like
an old-fashioned telephone exchange or a studio patch bay.
The modulation intensity—how strongly the destination is influenced by the source—is set with
the vertical slider to the right of the modulation routing.
The intensity of the modulation can itself be modulated: The via parameter defines a further
modulation source, which is used to control the modulation intensity. When via is active, you can
specify upper and lower limits for the modulation intensity. See Use EXS24 mkII via sources.
Ten such modulation routings of source, via, and target can take place simultaneously, in
addition to routings that are hard-wired outside of the router. It doesn’t matter which of the ten
modulation routings you use.
You can even select the same destination in several parallel modulation routings. You can also
use the same sources and the same via controllers in multiple modulation routings.
The following instructions apply to all ten modulation routings.
