Chapter 21 ES2 283
If you select Pitch 123 as the target, modulate it with the LFO1 source, and select
Keyboard as the via value, the vibrato depth will change, dependent on key position.
Put another way, the vibrato depth will be different for notes higher or lower than the
defined Keyboard position.
Velo
If you select Velo (Velocity) as the via value, the modulation intensity will be velocity
sensitive—modulation will be more or less intense dependent on how quickly (hard)
you strike the key.
Bender
The pitch bender controls the modulation intensity.
ModWhl
If you select ModWhl (Modulation Wheel) as the via value, the modulation intensity will
be controlled by your MIDI keyboard’s modulation wheel.
The Least Significant Byte (LSB) Controller for the modulation wheel is recognized
correctly, as well.
Touch
If you select Touch (Aftertouch) as the via value, the modulation intensity will be touch
sensitive—modulation will be more or less intense dependent on how firmly you press
the key of your touch-sensitive MIDI keyboard after the initial keystrike (aftertouch is
also known as pressure sensitivity).
Whl+To
Both modulation wheel and aftertouch control the modulation.
MIDI Controllers A–F
MIDI controllers available in the mod matrix are named Ctrl A–F, rather than Expression,
Breath, and General Purpose 1–4 (MIDI Control Change Messages 16 to 19 are also
known as General Purpose Slider 1/2/3/4). These can be assigned to arbitrary controller
numbers via menus in the Controller Assignments section at the bottom of the
interface (press the MIDI button to view the A to F menus).
The default values for the assignment guarantee backwards compatibility. The values of
these assignment menus are only updated if the default setting is loaded, or if a setting
that was saved with a project is loaded. If you simply step through settings, the
assignment will remain unchanged.
This facility is especially helpful if you’ve always wanted to use Controller #4 (foot
pedal), for example, as a modulation source. This feature allows you to assign your
favorite MIDI real-time controllers as Ctrl A, Ctrl B, and so on.
