There are two main parameters available on this screen:
● MOD Voltage : Turn the encoder to set a stage's MOD voltage to a value between ±5V. The
displayed value of this voltage may change depending on what, exactly, is being modulated
(as described in
assign a MOD Lane to 'Pitch Pre,' the MOD Voltage is displayed in semitones (rather than
voltage) to make editing easier.
If you assign a MOD Lane to control a gated parameter, then the MOD Stage screen
changes entirely, as discussed in
● Ramp Toggle : Push the encoder to toggle between two different ways that the previous
stage's MOD Voltage can transition into this stage's MOD Voltage . Specifically:
MOD Voltage changes instantly — jumping from the previous stage's value to
'Step' :
this stage's value at the beginning of the stage.
MOD Voltage glides smoothly from the previous stage's value to this stage's
'Ramp' :
value over the length of the entire stage — reaching the full voltage at the
end of the stage.
With 'Ramp,' the ramp time changes with the number of pulses in a stage.
For example, if a stage has 4 pulses, then the voltage will take a full 4 pulses
to reach the assigned MOD Voltage.
3. Turn the encoder to set the desired MOD Voltage for that stage (±5V or other value, depending
on destination).
4. Press the encoder to toggle between 'Step' and 'Ramp'.
NOTE : Hold down the ALT button while pressing the encoder to set the Ramp type for all
8 stages simultaneously.
5. Repeat Steps 3-4 for any other stages to which you wish to assign a MOD voltage.
Various shortcuts are also available:
● Press-and-hold the ALT button to see all vertex markers, not just the current stage's.
● Hold the ALT button and turn the encoder to change the MOD voltages across all stages
simultaneously.
● Long-press the encoder to reset the current stage's MOD voltage to 0V.
● Hold the ALT button and long-press the encoder to reset the MOD voltage to 0V on every stage.
NOTE : You can mute and unmute individual MOD Lanes by holding down the LOOPY button while
pressing the MOD Lane button (1-8) corresponding to the lane you want muted. For more
