Step Modulator Unipolar / Bipolar
The Step Modulator enables you to create a so-called „stepped“ modulation. In practice this internal
Flexible Modifiers is commonly used with „pitch“ or „cutoff filter“ as destination, in order to
achieve typically „hashed“ progressions.
Independence‘s Step Modulator is extended to 128 steps to enable an even more accurate setup.
Additionally you can also switch between the „unipolar“ and „bipolar“ view of your settings (see
chapter „Free Envelope“).
To draw or edit the progression, simply click (and hold) on the respective bar in the Step Modulator
editing display. Now can adjust the level of the bar by dragging it up or down. To edit multiple bars
simultaneously, keep the mouse button pressed and move your mouse to the left or right.

from the beginning to the end and then reverse.
• no loop: one-time play-back of your sequence to the end.
