THE COMBINATOR719
Naming a control
When you make modulation routing assignments, you should give the associated control a descriptive name that re-
flects what it does, for example Vibrato On/Off or the name of the parameter that it controls.
This is done by clicking the label on the Controller panel and typing in new name.
CV Connections
CV connections between devices in the Combi are saved with the Combi patches. This is also true for CV connec-
tions between devices in Combi and the Combi itself - e.g. if you have connected a Matrix in the Combi to one of the
CV inputs on the back of the Combi panel.
The following CV connectors can be found at the back of the Combinator:
Sequencer Control Inputs
The Sequencer Control CV and Gate inputs allow you to play the Combinator from another CV/Gate device (typically
a Matrix or a RPG-8). The signal to the CV input controls the note pitch, while the signal to the Gate input delivers
note on/off along with velocity.
Modulation Inputs
In this section you will find standard CV Mod Wheel and Pitch Bend modulation inputs, as well as modulation inputs
for the four Rotary controls.
! Parameter(s) that are assigned to a Rotary control can thus be modulated by CV, which allows you to use CV
control for almost any Reason parameter!
Programmer CV Inputs
Here you can connect external CV modulation sources for modulating any of the Target parameters in the Program-
mer (see “Using Modulation Routing”). Next to each CV Input are one sensitivity knob and one polarity switch that
work as follows:
• The sensitivity knobs can be used for attenuating the CV Input signal.
• The polarity switches should be used for defining the polarity of the CV Input signal.
For example, if you have connected a CV signal from an envelope generator, the switch should be set to Unipolar.
If you are modulating from a standard LFO, the polarity switch should be set to Bipolar.
