Modulation Matrix
144
For example, to create rhythmic patterns in the spectral timbre, assign the Step
Modulator.
Resonance
Modulates the filter resonance. Resonance changes the character of the filter.
For example, to accent the filter the harder you hit a key, assign Velocity to
Resonance.
Distortion
Modulates the filter distortion.
This has no effect on the Classic, HALion 3, and Waldorf filters.
Morph X
Modulates the x-axis of the filter in Morph XY mode. Use this to morph between
the filter shapes AD and BC.
Morph Y
Modulates the y-axis of the filter in Morph 2, Morph 4, or Morph XY mode. Use
this to morph between the filter shapes AB and DC, for example.
Cutoff Offset
Modulates the cutoff offset of the second filter in Dual Filter Serial or Dual Filter
Parallel mode. For example, to lower or raise the cutoff of the second filter while
you play, assign the modulation wheel.
Resonance Offset
Modulates the resonance offset of the second filter in Dual Filter Serial or Dual
Filter Parallel mode. For example, to lower or raise the resonance of the second
filter while you play, assign the modulation wheel.
Level
This modulation adds to the level setting. It can be used to create level offsets
using the mod wheel, for example.
Volume 1
Modulates the gain. The volume modulation multiplies with the level.
This modulation is ideal for crossfades between zones.
Volume 2
As Volume 1. Volume 1 is multiplied with Volume 2. This way, you can build more
complex modulations.
Pan
Modulates the position of the zone in the panorama.
Sample Start
Modulates the start position of the sample playback. For example, assign Note-
on Velocity to play back more of the attack of a sample the harder you hit a key.
