Modulation
Numerous sound parameters can be controlled dynamically (modulated) in Ultrabeat.
The setting of modulation routings follows a universal principle that is explained in this
chapter.
The Principle of the Modulation Routings
Ultrabeat’s modulation routings feature three key players:
The synthesizer parameter that you want to modulate (the modulation target)
The source of the modulation (the modulation source)
A second modulation source that can influence the intensity of the first modulation
(we call this a Via modulation)
Let’s look at an example to better understand how this works:
The Cut (Cutoff) paramater has a mean (default) value of 0.50. Its 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).
