The Modulation wheel controls
The Modulation wheel can be set to control a number of parameters. You can
set positive 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 122) for osc:A and/or osc:B. Positive values will move the index
position forwards if the modulation wheel is pushed forward. Negative val-
ues will move it backwards.
D Shift
This sets modulation wheel control of the Shift parameter of osc:A and/or
osc:B (see page 122).
D Filter
This sets modulation wheel control of the Filter Frequency
parameter (see page 126). 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 forward and negative values will decrease the settings.
! You can set whether these parameters on either or both oscillator/
modulator/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 Audio and CV”.
Audio Output
These are the Malström’s audio outputs. When you create a new Malström de-
vice, 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 separate 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 128 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 sig-
nal 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 133.
Audio Input
• Shaper/Filter:A
• Filter:B
These inputs let you connect either other audio sources, or the Malström’s own
internal signal directly to the filters and the shaper - see page 133.
