Modulation Processors

Quantize

This changes a continuous signal into a series of discrete
steps. Use this to change the shape of LFOs or envelopes, or
to force a controller to land on a few specific values.
Input
[List of Modulation Sources]
This selects the input for the Mod Processor.
Steps
[1...32]
This controls the severity of the effect. Lower values create
more "steppy" effects.
For instance, when this is set to 2, there will be "steps" at 0,
50, and 100. With a bipolar source, there will also be steps at
–50 and –100.
Quantized Pitch Bend
You can use Quantize to create quantized pitch bend, for fret-dragging effects, brass rips, and more.
1.
Open the Add New Modulation popup
2.
Press
ENTER
to close Add New Modulation and bring up the Modulation Source popup (since there isn't a
front-panel control to select for Mod Processors).
3.
Press the OSC 2 LFO button to jump to the middle of the Generators section, and then scroll down to select
Mod Processor 1. Press
4.
Set the Intensity to any exact half-step value: +5.00, +7.00, etc.
5.
Set Mod Processor 1's Type to Quantize, and set the Input to Pitch Bend.
6.
Set Steps to the same number you used for Intensity, above.
7.
On the Pitch Mod page, set both Pitch Bend Up and Pitch Bend Down to 0 (so that only the Mod Processor
version will affect Pitch).
Now, moving the Pitch Bend wheel will create quantized pitch bends.
(MOD
+ >), and set the Destination to Pitch Tune.
ENTER
to confirm.
