EQ
The EQ effect is a single band parametric equalizer with adjustable Q-value and Gain.
•Freq
Sets the center frequency of the EQ band.
•Q
Sets the bandwidth of the EQ band, from wide to narrow.
•Gain
Sets the gain/attenuation of the EQ band, from -18dB to +18dB.
The Modulation Bus section
The Modulation Bus section is used for routing a modulation Source to one or two modulation Destinations each.
This creates a very flexible routing system that complements the “pre-wired” routing in Europa.
The Modulation Bus section in Europa is derived from the one in the Reason Thor Polysonic Synthesizer device, so if
you are familiar with Thor, you will quickly find your way around in Europa’s modulation bus.
There are eight “Source –> Destination 1 –> Destination 2 –> Scale” busses, of which the first four have pre-as-
signed sources. However, these four pre-assigned sources can be easily changed if you like.
A Source parameter can modulate two different Destination parameters per bus (with variable Amount settings).
Each bus also has a Scale parameter that affects the relative modulation Amount for both Destinations.
q Note that it is possible to assign the same source parameter as Source in several busses. This allows you to
control more than two Destination parameters from the same Source.
1. Select the desired Source parameter by clicking in the corresponding Source box and selecting from the list.
The following parameters can be used as modulation Sources:

Description
Velocity This applies modulation according to the Keyboard Velocity values (how hard or soft you strike the MIDI
keyboard keys).
LFOs (LFO 1, LFO 2 and LFO 3) This allows you to modulate parameters from LFO 1, LFO 2 and LFO 3 respectively.
Envelopes (Amp Envelope, Envelope 1,
Envelope 2, Envelope 3, Envelope 4,
Envelope 3 * Envelope 4, Envelope 3 *
LFO 3)
This allows you to modulate parameters from any of the Envelopes.
As a special feature you can also modulate parameters from the multiplied signal of Envelope 3 and
Envelope 4, as well as from the multiplied signal of Envelope 3 and LFO 3.
Mod Wheel This allows you to modulate parameters from the Mod Wheel.
