Section 4 - Algorithms
Algorithm Modulators
All the algorithms allow real-time control of particular parameters and share common
modulation control parameters. The exact location of these parameters varies depending on the
selected algorithm, but it is always the last eight parameters for all of the algorithms:
Mod1 Source
Mod2 Source
Range: Off/Controller 1 - 8
These parameters select the mod sources used to modulate the parameter Destinations. Each
algorithm has a choice of two different mod sources. Anyone of the eight DP / 4 System
Controller sources assigned in System. MIDI mode can be selected (for more information, refer to
the System Global Parameters in the System • MIDI Section).
Mod1 Destination Parameter
Mod2 Destination Parameter
Range: Off, 01 to 34 (depending on the algorithm)
This parameter selects which algorithm parameters will be modulated by the modulation sources.
The choice of parameters varies depending on the selected algorithm. Any parameter within an
algorithm can be selected (except the algorithm name). Each algorithm has a choice of two
different mod destinations.
Mod1 Param Range Min
Mod1 Param Range Max
Mod2 Param Range Min
Mod2 Param Range Max
Range: 00 to 99
These four parameters set the minimum and maximum amount (based on a percentage of the
selected parameter's range) that the Mod Destination will be modulated by the Mod Source.
Inverting the amounts will also invert the Mod effect.
The eight different Mod Source controllers (two for each unit) are assigned in System-MIDI
mode and are explained in more detail in that section.
Algorithm Parameters
Each of the algorithms has a particular set of user programmable parameters associated with the
effect. Some of the parameters are common to many effects and some are specific to certain
effects.
In some cases, several algorithms of the same type will have an identical set of parameters. In
these cases, the parameters will only be described once, but the algorithms which share those
parameters will be listed at the beginning of the description.
Each algorithm has a mix and a volume control, modulator parameters, plus a set of parameters
which is relevant to the algorithm. All of these parameters (except the algorithm name) are
programmable, and provide much flexibility for customizing the effects.
