374 Chapter 24 Ultrabeat
The Cut (Cutoff) parameter has a mean (default) value of 0.50. It’s not being modulated
yet as no modulation source has been selected in either the red Mod or blue Via menu
(set to Off).
As soon as a modulation source is selected in the Mod menu (Env 1 in this example),
the ring around the rotary knob is activated. Grabbing and moving this ring with the
mouse allows you to set the value that this parameter will be increased to by the Mod
source (0.70 in the example).
As soon as a modulation source is selected in the Via menu (Vel in this example), a
movable slider appears on the Mod ring. Grabbing and moving this slider with the
mouse allows you to set the maximum modulation value that can be reached through
use of the Via source (0.90 in this example).
So much for the settings. What do the markings found around the Cut knob mean, and
what is happening to the sound?
The Mod and Via controls indicate the minimum and maximum values that the
modulated parameter can attain (in comparison to the mean value). Put another way,
the result of the modulation. These controls don’t show—as is customary with other
synthesizers—a percentage value describing their intensity, but state very clearly:
“These are the minimum and maximum possible values of the modulated parameter.”
