You can also delete all modulation events for all parameters of the channel:
▶ Press SHIFT + Pad 10 ( Clear Auto ) to delete all modulation for all parameters of the focused
Sound or Group.
You can also record modulation from the step sequencer. For more information, see
Recording Modulation in Step Mode .
11.4.1. Recording Modulation in Step Mode
You can also record modulation in Step mode. This is helpful when you want to set value changes
at a specific time in a Pattern.
To record modulation in Step Mode:
1. Press and hold the pad(s) representing the step(s) you want to modulate (you may need to
use Knob 6 to navigate beforehand to the desired part of the Pattern). The displays will switch
to a mode similar to Control mode displaying parameter values.
2. Like in Control mode, use Button 2 or 3 to select the Group or Sound level, respectively; press
PLUG-IN or CHANNEL to display the Plug-ins or Channel properties at this level; use the 4-D
encoder to select the desired Plug-in slot or set of Channel properties, and use the Page
button (left of the displays) to select the Parameter page containing the parameter you want
to record modulation for. Only parameters that can be modulated will appear at the bottom of
the displays.
3. While holding the pad(s), turn any of the Knobs 1–8 under the displays to edit the modulation
value of the corresponding parameter for this step.
→ The modulation values are recorded for this step.
11.4.2. Which Parameters Are Modulatable?
All the modulatable parameters are found in Plug-ins or Channel properties (for example, you
cannot modulate the Pattern Length or the Step Grid resolution). This means that all modulatable
parameters are found in a Parameter page of the Control area (when the software is in Arrange
view).
In order to be modulatable, parameters of Plug-ins and Channel properties have to meet the
following requirements:
• The parameter must be controlled by a knob or a button in the software. Most parameters
controlled by selectors (for example, 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 being:
