¥Ê MIDI continuous controllers (A, B, C, D) Four incoming MIDI controllers can
be recognized by the QuadraSynth and used as modulation sources. These
controllers are assigned as A, B, C and D within Global Mode (see Chapter 8).
¥Ê Tracking Generator This accepts the output of a signal processed by the
Tracking Generator module (see page 81).
Modulation Destination
Quad Knob [2] selects one of several modulation destinations. You can find out more
about these parameters and how they affect the sound in their respective sections
(e.g., to find out how Pitch Envelope Attack affects the sound, see page 74 on Pitch
Envelopes).

Modulation Level (-99 to +99)
At +00, the modulation source has no effect on the destination. Higher positive
values increase the amount of modulation. Negative values also increase the amount
of modulation, but with negative phase (i.e., if the modulation would normally be
increasing with depth set to a positive number, the modulation would instead be
decreasing at that same moment had the depth been set to a negative number).
Gate Mode (Off or On)
When Gate Mode is on, the selected Modulator will only be routed while notes are
being played. In other words, you can gate the effect of the Modulator so that it stops
when you are not playing any notes. This can be used on sounds with medium to
long release times, where an interesting effect (like tremolo) is intended to be active
while holding notes down, but deactivated as the sound is fading away after being
released.
