272 Chapter 21 ES2
Ten such modulations of source, via, and target can take place simultaneously, in
addition to those which are hard-wired outside the Router. The bypass (b/p) parameter
allows the disabling/enabling of individual modulation routings without losing settings .
Note: Some modulations aren’t possible, due to technical reasons. As an example, the
envelope times can be modulated by parameters that are only available during a note-
on message. Therefore, there are situations where the envelopes are not available as
targets. Furthermore, the LFO 1 can’t modulate its own frequency. Values that are not
available are grayed out.
The Range of Via
The modulation intensity is set with the vertical slider. This is self-explanatory, as long
as the “via” parameter is set to off. This ensures that the modulation intensity is
constant, if not affected by any other controller (such as the modulation wheel or
aftertouch).
As soon as you select a value other than off for “via,” the slider is divided into two
halves. The lower half defines the minimum intensity of the modulation, when the via
controller is set to its minimum value. The upper half defines the maximum modulation
intensity when the via modulator (the modulation wheel, in this case) is set to its
maximum value. The area between the two slider halves defines the range that is
controlled by the via controller.
You can grab the area between the two slider halves with the mouse and drag both
halves simultaneously. If this area is to small to be grabbed with the mouse, just click
on a free part of the slider track and move the mouse up or down to move the area.
In the example below, the lower half of the slider knob defines the vibrato intensity
when the modulation wheel is turned down. The upper half defines the vibrato
intensity that takes place when the modulation wheel is set to its maximum value.
Note: To invert the effect of the via modulation source, simply activate the “via invert”
(inv) parameter in the Router.
