In order to be modulatable, parameters of Plug-ins and Channel properties have to meet fol-
lowing requirements:
▪ The parameter must be controlled by a knob or a button in the software. Most parameters
controlled by selectors (e.g., for selecting an operating mode or a filter type) cannot be
modulated — however there are a few exceptions.
▪ The parameter must be at the Group or Sound level. Parameters at the Master level cannot
be modulated.
This second rule is also true for Plug-ins: if a Plug-in is loaded at the Master level, its parameters
will not be modulatable — but the same Plug-in loaded at the Group or Sound level will have its
parameters modulatable.
Almost all parameters meeting these requirements can be modulated, the only exceptions be-
ing:
▪ Plug-ins:
◦ Saturator: in Tube mode, the Bass Overload button ( MAIN section) and Bypass button
( EQ section).
◦ Percussion (Drumsynth): in Fractal mode, the Tune Hold button in the Main page.
▪ Channel properties:
◦ Sound’s and Group’s Output properties: the Cue button in the Audio page.
◦ Group’s Input properties: the Root Note knob in the MIDI page.
At the Sound and Group level the same parameters are both automatable and modulatable. For
more information on automation please refer to section ↑ 12.2.3, Controlling Parameters via MIDI
and Host Automation .
Also note that your Macro Controls will be modulatable if, and only if, their target parameters
are themselves modulatable. For more information on Macro Controls please refer to section
↑ 12.3, Creating Custom Sets of Parameters with the Macro Controls .
