When you load a Plug-in in a channel (Sound or Group) its modulatable parameters will automati-
cally show up in the menu of available parameters when this channel is focused.
Resetting a Modulation Track
► To reset the modulation track of a parameter, right-click ([Ctrl]-click on macOS) the de-
sired entry in the Modulator List and select Reset Modulator at the top of the menu.
→ All modulation points are deleted in all Patterns of the Group and you can start designing
a new modulation for that parameter from scratch.
Re-Assigning a Modulation Track
► To change the parameter assignment of a modulation track, right-click ([Ctrl]-click on ma-
cOS) the desired entry in the Modulator List and select another parameter from the hier-
archical menu as described above.
→ Upon your selection all modulation points are deleted and the track is assigned to the new
parameter. The previous parameter is not modulated anymore.
Removing a Modulation Track
► To remove a modulation track, hover its entry in the Modulator List with the mouse and
click the little cross that appears on its right.
→ The modulation track and its entry in the Modulator List are removed from the Modulation
pane for all Patterns. The parameter is not modulated anymore.
