8.6 Modulations
In this context, modulation can be described as the following process: A modulation source
influences a modulation destination. The extent of the modulation, i.e. the amount, is
variable. Both the source and amount of the modulation can have positive and negative
values. If both values are negative, then the modulation is positive just as the product of
two negative numbers is positive when they are multiplied.
The Pulse features different types of modulations:
• Four modulation chains with freely assignable sources, amounts and destinations.
The modulation matrix consist of these types of modulations.
• Two modulations with fixed destination: Pitch and Cutoff.
• Additionally, there are several common modulations with fixed destinations and
fixed sources, e.g. Note Number (Keytrack) modulates the envelope rate and
Envelope 1 modulates the cutoff frequency.
Modulation Matrix
The four freely-assignable modulation units offer the most unusual options. These are edited
in the
MOD group of Parameter Level 4.
Select 1...4 Selects one of the modulation units.
 Caution: Select is not a sound parameter and is therefore not stored with a
sound program.
Source S.00...S.15 Defines the modulation source. Each source appears as
a number in the display. The table below depicts the
assignments. This table is also printed on the chassis of
the device for easy reference 햲.
