Freq Mod Polarity Switch
The modulation polarity switch located directly under the Freq Mod knob can be used
to quickly "flip" the direction of the Frequency modulation. The ""Normal" setting
means that the direction of the modulation is in synch with the direction of the mod-
ulation signal; it will increase as the modulation signal is increasing. The "Reverse"
setting switches (reverses) the direction of the modulation being applied at the
amount set by the Freq Mod knob.
This is useful when you want to make quick changes in the direction of the modula-
tion without changing the settings of the Freq Mod, Frequency and Depth controls.
Res Mod
The Res Mod knob allows you to modulate the Resonance with whatever modulation
source being employed in the preset (LFO, Envelope etc). The Res Mod knob is also
"center justified" like the Freq Mod knob. When set at 12 o’clock no modulation is
applied to the Resonance. Turning the knob clockwise or typing in a positive number
will modulate and increase the Resonance. Turning the Res Mod value counter clock-
wise will modulate the Resonance in a negative direction and decrease Resonance.
It is important to keep in mind that the setting of the front panel Resonance knob
defines the "default" starting point for the resonance modulation. Positive going
modulation will increase the Resonance from the value set on the front panel knob
where as negative modulation will decrease from the Resonance value set on the
front panel.
Having this bi-polar control provides for some really cool effects and allows you to
modulate the Resonance inversely from the modulation of Frequency. So you could
have the resonance modulation decreasing, as the Frequency is increasing, or visa-
versa. The overall amount of modulation to the Resonance is defined by the value set
with the Res Mod control.

Res Offset Mod
The Res Offset Mod knob allows you to modulate the Resonance Offset parameter
with whatever modulation source being employed in the preset (LFO, Envelope etc).
The Res Offset Mod knob is also "center justified". When set at 12 o’clock no modula-
tion is applied to the Resonance. Turning the knob clockwise or typing in a positive
