8.9 MOD MATRIX
The MODULATION MATRIX (MOD MATRIX) is one of the most powerful aspects
of the DeepMind 12 synthesizer. To understand how and why the modulation
matrix is so important we need to understand one simple concept, modulation.
Modulation is the process of controlling one or more properties (destinations) of
a signal using another signal (source).
A simple example would be the control of the VCF cut-off frequency by an
sinusoidal LFO signal. The LFO would open and close the fi lter automatically
which you could of course do by moving the fader manually. However, by using
a modulation signal you not only free up your hands and mind, you also open up
additional options such as:
• • Synchronisation with other parameters and actions
• • Speeds of modulation well past what you could achieve by hand
• • Accuracy, or programmed inaccuracy of modulation signal
Modulating multiple destinations from the same source
• •
• • Using multiple sources to modulate the same destination.
• • Using a source to modulate a parameter e.g. LFO Rate, which indirectly
aff ects another modulation e.g. Velocity to Attack Time.
• • Using a source to modulate the depth of another modulation
Taking the concept further the DeepMind 12 off ers a huge amount of sources and
destinations. For a full list please consult the tables at the end of this section.
The DeepMind 12 MOD MATRIX allows creation of eight "busses". Each bus has a
source, a destination modulations and a routing depth.
To access the MOD MATRIX page press the MOD switch.
ON=EDIT MATRIX
The MOD switch will then start fl ashing and the MOD MATRIX page is then shown:
To navigate the options in the MOD MATRIX page, use the UP, DOWN, switches.
Selected parameters are adjusted using the -NO/+YES switches, the rotary knob
or the fader. The rotary knob has a click which allows very accurate control. The
fader allows rapid adjustment across the full range.
