2. Click in the Target column for the Rotary or Button control you wish to assign
a parameter.
On the pop-up that appears, all the available parameters for the device are listed.
3. Select the parameter you wish to assign to the control.
The parameter is now assigned, and the name of the parameter is shown in the
Target column for the corresponding control.
4. If you move or press the assigned Rotary or Button it will now control the pa-
rameter you assigned to it.
5. You can specify a range for the parameter by clicking in the Min and Max col-
umns and moving the mouse up or down.
By default the maximum available range is set.
6. If you select another device in the Device list to the left, you can assign an-
other parameter to the same Rotary or Button control using the same basic
method.
This means that you can create multi-function controls that operate simultaneously
on several parameters. E.g. if you have two Subtractors and a Malström in a Combi
you could create a “master” filter cutoff knob, that controls this parameter for all
three devices.
About the additional Source column pop-ups
The first eight sources have a fixed relation to the eight virtual controls on the Control-
ler panel. The last two rows are assignable. By clicking in the last two source fields
you can select any of the eight controls from the pop-up that appears. This allows you
to map one control to up to three parameters on the same device.
Naming a control
When you make modulation routing assignments, you should give the associated con-
trol a descriptive name that reflects 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 connections 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 Redrum). 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 Input
These control voltage (CV) inputs (with associated voltage trim pots), can modulate
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 pa-
rameter!
