A Sample/Hold modulation of 100% will vary the destination’s
Sample/Hold Time between 0 and twice the specified Sample/Hold
Time.
PhaseShape Modulation
PhaseShape Modulation allows a signal to modulate another
module’s PhaseShaping. The destination module must use the
PhaseShaping process.
A PhaseShape Modulation of 100% will vary the destination’s
PhaseShaping amount between 0 and twice the specified
PhaseShaping percentage.
Power Modulation
Power Modulation allows a signal to modulate the power to which
another module’s signal is raised. The destination module must use
the Raise to Power process. You can produce unique effects by
automatically varying the Power over time.
Filter Frequency Modulation
Filter Frequency Modulation allows you to control the filter
frequency of another module. The destination module must use a
filter process (lowpass, highpass or bandpass).
A Filter Frequency Modulation of 100% will vary the destination’s
cutoff frequency between 0 and twice the specified cutoff.
(Modulations of less than 100% can be useful as a way of avoiding
artifacts caused by filtering in the 0 Hertz range.)
Filter frequencies can be modulated by sine waves, etc., as well as
by the outputs of Pitch Trackers or Envelope Followers. The Tutorial
chapter gives an example of a filter frequency being modulated by
the output of a Pitch Tracker. If you Filter Frequency Modulate a
signal using the output of an Envelope Follower, the result is a
Triggered Wah (“cry-cat”) effect.
If the Filter Frequency Modulation comes from a Pitch Tracker, the
destination’s specified cutoff frequency has no effect. It doesn’t
matter what frequency you enter, because the cutoff frequency will
be determined by the output of the Pitch Tracker times the
Modulation Amplitude.
