Modulators
The Modulators section lets you configure the modulation routing and amount for the
oly Evolver’s four general-purpose modulation slots as well as for MIDI controllers
,
audio-rate modulation. While some destinations may not be able to keep up
ith audio-rate modulation, you will certainly be able to generate interesting sonic
he
mounts of the other three to zero. It does not affect any modulation that is routed to
odulation for a controller, press the F IXED switch, select the desired
ontroller with the Source knob, then use the Destination and Amount knobs to set its
rolled by the Pedal/CV 1 and
inputs on the rear panel. This gives you the ability to route them to different
ternal audio input,
nd uses it as a modulation signal. The In Env Follower generates an envelope from
Sour
pos
the controller. For filtered (smoothed) MIDI controller operation, use
the direct Pressure, Mod Wheel, Breath Control, or Foot Control parameters in the
Amount 1: -99…+99 – Sets the amount of modulation.

such as the Mod Wheel, Key Pressure, Velocity, Breath Control, and more.
Since each Evolver mod source has a single destination, the four general purpose
Mods provide a way to send a mod source (such as a sequence or LFO) to additional
destinations, with a different amount. There are also additional mod sources available
here, such as noise and the digital oscillators, allowing a wide variety of possibilities
such as
w
results.
To configure a general-purpose modulation slot, press the appropriate switch, 1–4,
and use the Source, Destination and Amount knobs to set the modulation as desired.
Holding one of the four switches will solo that Mod (the switch will blink) by setting t
A
Mod Amount, though, so at times it may not completely turn off all other Amounts.

The Breath and Foot Controller parameters can be cont

parameters on each Program for more flexible control.
The In Peak fixed source takes the momentary peak of the left ex
a
the Left external audio input, and uses it as a modulation signal.
ce 1: see table – Selects a modulation source. See the list on page 43 for
sible sources.
Note: General-purpose mod slot Sources are not filtered, so a MIDI controller
going through this route will react quicker, but may produce stepping noise,
depending on
Fixed mods.
