Vacuum Modulation Routing
Controls
The Modulation Routing section gives you the
ability to go beyond the default modulation
routings, and get deeper into designing sounds.
There are two modulation paths, each with three
controls.
Source Sets what signal is used to modulate the
chosen parameter. The choices are:
Destination Sets which parameter is modulated.
The choices are:
Depth Sets the amount of modulation that oc-
curs. At its center, no modulation will occur. To
the right, modulation increases, and to the left,
modulation also increases, but with reversed po-
larity.
Vacuum Age Controls
The Age section lets you explore the tonal effects
of aging internal circuitry and years of dust and
dirt.
Drift Adds a variable amount of pitch drift to the
oscillators. At mild settings, the sound is thick-
ened slightly. At more extreme settings, the
sound becomes more detuned and unpredict-
able, like a poorly-maintained analog synthe-
sizer.
Dust Adds glitches and noise to the signal, emu-
lating the worn and dusty contacts often found
on older synths.
