3.2 Modulation Sources
The physical parameters of the String, Excitator, Damper, and Termination modules can be
modulated with the pitch and velocity signals received from the Keyboard. In addition to the pitch
signal from the Keyboard, the cutoff frequency and resonance (quality factor) of the multi-mode
Filter module can be modulated with the signal from a low-frequency oscillator LFO module and
the Filter Env envelope generator. Finally, note that the vibrato module from Panel A can be
considered as an extra pitch modulation source for the String module.
