Modulation

Although the sonic character of the Pro 2 is largely determined by its

oscillators and lters, its power to make truly unique sounds comes from

its extensive modulation capabilities. The Pro 2 has 25 xed-source

modulation paths and 16 user-congurable paths with over 50 different

modulation sources and over 140 different destinations. This makes the

Pro 2’s modulation matrix as powerful as many modular synths. For a

complete list of modulation sources and destinations, see page 78.

Think of a modulation slot as a virtual patch cable that lets you connect

any modulation source (envelope, sequencer, LFO, etc.) to any modula-

tion destination (lter cutoff, pulse width, delay time, etc.). You can also

control how much the source affects the destination by specifying the

modulation amount.

To display the modulation matrix, press the

aSSign Source or aSSign deSt

buttons in the Modulation section. Modulations slots and routings appear

in the OLED display.
