▪
On the outer ring of the knob, the colored section (usually indicating the current parameter
value) is replaced by a little segment indicating the modulated value. During playback this
little segment follows the movement you have just recorded. The non-modulated value of
the parameter is still indicated by the little white segment on the knob itself. Since modu-
lation is defined relative to this non-modulated value, you can turn the knob to define the
reference value from which the recorded modulation will deviate.
▪
A modulation track is created for this parameter in the Modulation pane of the Control area
(at the bottom of the Pattern Editor) containing the modulation points you have just record-
ed. You can further edit the modulation track from there — see section
and Editing Modulation in the Control Lane
.
Removing Modulation
You can also use the outer ring to remove the entire modulation for the knob:
►
To remove the entire modulation for a knob, simply right-click (on macOS: [Ctrl]+click) its
outer ring.
You can also create and edit modulation tracks directly in the Control Lane. See section
To modulate a parameter with the controller:
1.
First make sure the song is playing (
PLAY
must be lit) and your controller is in Control
mode (
CHANNEL
or
PLUG-IN
must be lit, if it’s not please press either of them).
2.
Navigate to the parameter you want to modulate. To do this, put the focus on the desired
Group or Sound (see
3.3.7, Focusing on a Group or a Sound
), navigate to the desired
Plug-in or set of Channel properties, and finally to the Parameter page containing that pa-
rameter (see
3.3.9, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the
).
3.
Hold
AUTO
to enter Auto-write mode.
At the bottom of the displays, non-modulatable parameters disappear. Among the remain-
ing parameters (all modulatable), the value of each continuous parameter is replaced by a
percentage.
4.
While holding
AUTO
, turn the desired Knob 1–8 under the displays to adjust the deviation
to the actual value as you see fit.
