F – The Modulation Buss Section
Modulation is the heart of making interesting sounds with analog subtractive synthesis. The Voyager XL’s
two Modulation Busses open up a world of modulation possibilities.
The Modulation Busses allow you to select a variety of modulation sources,
destinations, modulation shaping, and amounts. The two Mod Busses are
labeled MOD WHEEL and PEDAL/ON. The performance control for the
MOD WHEEL Buss is the Modulation Wheel itself, while the performance
control for the PEDAL/ON Buss is the MOD 1 Input jack on the Patch Panel.
The MOD 1 input can accept an Expression Pedal like the EP-2, and is used
like the Modulation Wheel to fade in and fade out the desired modulation.
With nothing plugged into the MOD 1 input, the AMOUNT control of the
PEDAL/ON buss sets the modulation amount.
The diagram below shows the configuration of a single Mod Buss, but the
controls for both busses are the same.
NOTE: The MOD 1 parameter is also addressable through a MIDI CC2
message or through the EDIT Mode ‘Pot Mapping’ function.
