The Modulation Matrix - Steinberg PADSHOP Manual Del Usario

Sync Mode
You can synchronize the steps to the tempo of the host application by setting a note
value. Alternatively, you can specify a frequency at which the sequence repeats.
Whether you can set a note value or a frequency depends on the option you select
here:
Option
Beat
First
Each
Rate
When "Sync Mode" is deactivated, this parameter controls the speed at which the
sequence is repeated.
When Sync mode is activated, this control adjusts the length of the steps in fractions
of beats. You can also set triplet note values.

The Modulation Matrix

The concept of controlling one parameter by another is called modulation. In addition
to the built-in modulations, such as "filter envelope to cutoff" or "velocity to envelope
level", the modulation matrix section gives you access to additional modulations.
Assigning modulations means interconnecting modulation sources like LFOs and
envelopes with modulation destinations like pitch, cutoff, amplitude, etc. The
modulation matrix offers you up to 10 freely assignable modulations, each with a
source, an offset parameter, a modifier, and a destination with adjustable depth. All
modulation sources and destinations can be assigned several times.
For example, by assigning the step modulator in the modulation matrix and routing it to
the grain position, you can use a different spectrum for each step.
• To switch between display of modulations 1 to 5 and 6 to 10, click the
corresponding tab.
Modulation Sources
The modulation sources are available from the Source and Modifier pop-up menus.
The following modulation sources are available:
Option
LFO 1/2
Amp Envelope
Filter Envelope
Key Follow
Description
Synchronizes the step modulator restart to the transport of the host
application and aligns it to the beats of the project.
The step modulator restarts when a note is triggered and no other note
is held.
The step modulator restarts each time a note is triggered.
Description
The LFOs produce cyclic modulation signals. They are bipolar.
The amplifier envelope (unipolar). The shape of the envelope
corresponds to the modulation signal.
The filter envelope. The shape of the envelope corresponds to the
modulation signal. The Filter Envelope parameter is unipolar.
Produces modulation in relation to the MIDI note number. The
values range from -1 (C-2) to +1 (G8).
