Editing Gates in a MOD Lane
If you have not yet assigned a MOD Lane Destination (discussed in
Assigning a MOD Lane to an
Internal Parameter
), or if the Mod Lane destination controls a variable parameter (rather than a
gated parameter), then the MOD Lane Edit Screen works as discussed above.
However, if you assign a Mod Lane to a gated destination, then Mod Lane Edit Screen displays
simple Gate toggles, rather than actual voltages.
In the above example, we have assigned MOD Lane 1 to control the Playback Direction, which is a
simple gate function, rather than a continuous voltage.
In this situation, the Mod Lane Edit screen shows a series of on/off switches (one for each of the
eight MOD stages). Press a Stage button to enable/disable modulation on the corresponding Stage.
When a Stage's circle is white, the MOD Lane will toggle the state of the destination parameter.
When a Stage's circle is dark, the MOD Lane will not affect the destination parameter.
For example, if you assign MOD Lane 1 to 'Direction ⎍' then the MOD Stage Edit Screen displays
8 dots. If you press Stage button 5 (making the 5th circle white), then the playback direction of the
destination track will reverse every time stage 6 plays.
