3.1d About the DPM V3 Modulation Matrix
Modulation modifies some aspect of a sound over a period of time. Since synthesizers
inherently make static sounds (unlike acoustic instruments, whose timbre and dynamics
change often radically over the duration of a note), proper use of modulation is the
key to making more expressive sounds.
The DPM V3 has a variety of modulation sources, depicted by blocks with heavy lines,
as shown in the figure below. These are described in detail in the reference section.
The main categories are:
* Modulation signals generated by the way you play the keyboard or other controller
driving the DPM V3 (Velocity, Note Position, and Pressure)
* Envelope generators (these produce a programmable modulation change over time)
* | FOs (these produce periodic, oc modulation changes over time, such as vibrato
or tremolo)
* Performance controls (modulation wheel and foot pedal, which are designed to be
manipulated in real time, as you play)
e External MIDI control; this allows external MIDI control signals (e.g., from a se-
quencer) to control some aspect of the DPM.V3's sound
