Modulation Destinations

Depending on the selected type of zone, the available modulation destinations vary.

Pitch

Modulates the pitch. For example, assign one of the LFOs to create a vibrato effect. If Pitch is selected, the modulation depth is set in semitones (-60 to +60).

Cutoff

Modulates the filter cutoff.

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 increasingly 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 playing, 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 playing, assign the modulation wheel.

Level

Volume 1

Modulates the gain. This modulation multiplies with the level.

It 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.

Grain Length

Modulates the grain length.

Grain Pitch

Modulates the pitch of a grain. The modulation is not continuous, but it is updated at the start of a new grain. For continuous pitch modulation, use Pitch instead of Grain Pitch as the destination, and make sure that Follow Zone Pitch is activated in the grain oscillator.

Grain Formant

Modulates the pitch of the source sample, regardless of the grain duration. This results in formant shifting for short durations.

Grain Level

Modulates the grain level. The modulation is not continuous, but it is updated at the start of each new grain. For continuous level modulation, use the destinations Volume 1, Volume 2, or Level.
