Pitch and Mod Wheels

Modulation Wheel

The Mod wheel controls the amount of modulation applied to any destina-

tions chosen in the

low-frequency oscillator section. This allows you to

“perform” LFO modulation in real time by moving the Mod wheel. This is a

great way to add expressiveness to a sound or performance.

To choose a modulation destination for the Mod wheel:

1. In the low-frequency oscillator section, choose a modulation desti-

nation as well as a shape and frequency for the LFO. (See “Low

Frequency Oscillators” on page 31 for more details.)

2. To apply modulation only when using the Mod wheel, set the initial

amt knob to zero. (Turing this knob up will apply LFO modulation

continuously — not just when the Mod wheel is used.)

Many programs use the Mod wheel to add vibrato. In this case, Freq 1 and

Freq 2 are enabled as modulation destinations in the low-frequency oscillator

section. This adds vibrato when you push the mod wheel forward. Set the initial amt

knob to zero to apply vibrato only when using the Mod wheel.
