The Modulation wheel controls
The Modulation wheel can be set to control a number of parameters. You can set pos-
itive or negative values, just like in the Velocity Control section (see above).
The following parameters can be affected by the modulation wheel:
D Index
This sets modulation wheel control of the currently active graintable’s index (see
page 228) for osc:A and/or osc:B. Positive values will move the index position for-
wards if the modulation wheel is pushed forward. Negative values will move it
backwards.
D Shift
This sets modulation wheel control of the Shift parameter of osc:A and/or osc:B
(see page 228).
D Filter
This sets modulation wheel control of the Filter Frequency
parameter (see page 231). Positive values will raise the frequency if the
wheel is pushed forward and negative values will lower the frequency.
D Mod
This sets modulation wheel control of the total amount of modulation from mod:A
and/or mod:B. Positive values will increase the settings if the wheel is pushed for-
ward and negative values will decrease the settings.
! You can set whether these parameters on either or both oscillator/mod-
ulator/filter A and B will be affected by the modulation wheel. This is
done with the A/B selector switch.
Connections
Flipping the Malström around reveals a wide array of connection possibilities. Most of
these are CV/Gate related. Using CV/Gate is described in the chapter “Routing Au-
dio and CV”.
Audio Output
These are the Malström’s audio outputs. When you create a new Malström device,
they are auto-routed to the first available channel on the audio mixer:
D Shaper/Filter:A (left) & Filter:B (right)
These are the main stereo outputs. Each of the two filters are connected to a sep-
arate output, and by connecting both, you can have stereo output. Whether the
output really will be in stereo however, is determined by the routing and the
Spread parameter. See page 234 for details about this.
D Osc:A & osc:B
These make it possible to output the sound directly after the Amp Envelope of
each oscillator, bypassing the filter section. Connecting one or both of these to a
channel on the audio mixer will break the Malström’s internal signal chain. That is,
it is not possible to process the sound by using the filters and the shaper of the
Malström. the sound instead goes directly to the mixer.
✪ Note also that you can connect the outputs Osc:A & Osc:B to the Audio
Inputs on the Malström for some interesting effects - see page 239.
Audio Input
• Shaper/Filter:A
• Filter:B
These inputs let you connect either other audio sources, or the Malström’s own inter-
nal signal directly to the filters and the shaper - see page 239.
