The Step Modulator - Steinberg PADSHOP Manual Del Usario

The Step Modulator

Padshop features a polyphonic step modulator that allows you to create rhythmic
control sequences. A sequence can have up to 32 steps.
You can load and save presets for the step modulator via the pop-up menu.
Editing Steps
To adjust the steps using the mouse, proceed as follows:
• To set the level of a step, click in the graphical editor.
• To change the value of a single step, drag it up/down.
• To adjust all steps at once, [Shift]-drag a step.
• To reset a step to a level of 0 %, [Ctrl]/[Command]-click the step.
• To reset all steps, [Shift]-[Ctrl]/[Command]-click in the graphical editor.
• To draw a ramp with steps, [Alt]/[Option]-click and draw a line.
• To draw symmetric ramps, [Shift]-[Alt]/[Option]-click and draw a line.
• You can also enter a value directly in the value field for the step.
• To increment or decrement the selected step, use the up and down arrow keys.
By default, the increment or decrement is in steps of 1 %. Hold [Shift] to increment
or decrement the selected step in increments of 0.1 %.
Steps
Determines the number of steps that the sequence plays.
Slope
Depending on the settings you made here, the step modulator jumps from step to
step, or creates ramps between the steps. The following options are available:
Option
None
Rising
Falling
All
Amount
When Slope is set to Rising, Falling or All, the Amount parameter determines the time
of the ramp between two steps. The higher the setting, the smoother the transitions
between steps.
