Pro 3 User’s Guide
Modulation
The concept is simple:
1. Choose a source.
2. Choose a destination.
3. Set an amount. The amount can either be positive or negative.
You already understand and apply the concept of modulation whenever
you use the lter envelope to control the lter’s cutoff frequency. In this
case, the modulation source is the lter envelope (or more precisely, any
of its controls, such as attack, decay, sustain, or release). The modulation
destination is the lter’s cutoff frequency. The modulation amount is set
with the Filter Envelope’s amount knob.
There are 46 different modulation sources and 171 different destinations
to choose from. (See page 119 for a complete list.) There are also 32
freely assignable modulation paths (mod slots 1-32) as well as 5 addi-
tional dedicated mod sources including LFO 1-3, and Auxiliary Envelope
1 and 2. This gives you a large number of sound-shaping options.

The Modulation section
There are shortcuts for routing modulation to various front panel sources/desti-
nations. Simply hold down the source button and move the control you want to use
as a source (the Mod wheel, for example). Then hold down the destination button and
move the control that you want to use as a destination (lter cutoff, for example). Set
the amount with the amount knob while referring to the display. Be aware that not all
front-panel controls can be used as a modulation sources/destinations.
