Defining The Modulation Sources; Modulation Parameters Index - Alesis Wedge Reference Manual

Chapter 6 – MIDI Applications
two types of MIDI messages will act as the modulation sources, and you can adjust
how much they will affect the Wedge's parameters by either a positive or negative
amount.
The two parameters in each Configuration which can be modulated via MIDI have
been chosen very carefully to provide the most-desired modulation combinations.
The two modulation sources are designated as Modulator X and Modulator Y. In
the Utility mode, you can select the type of MIDI message which will be designated
as each Modulator. The parameters that Modulators X and Y control are determined
by the selected Program's Configuration, as shown on the Modulation Parameters
Index on the next page. Example: If using any of the Stereo Reverb Configurations,
Modulator X controls the Reverb's decay time, while Modulator Y controls the
Reverb's wet/dry mix.
Keep in mind that both Modulator X and Y can be assigned to the same MIDI
message. Therefore, a single MIDI source can modulate two different parameters
simultaneously.

Defining the Modulation Sources

To select which type of MIDI messages will be used as Modulators X and Y:

amount of control Modulator X will have over the parameters it controls.
This can be set anywhere from -99 to +99.
