7. Module reference: Control Modifier group
The example below shows the principle for creating a simple arpeggiator.
LFO A is set to generate a triangle wave, since this signal has linear, symmetrical ramps. This guarantees
even change of control values over time. We have pressed four Note buttons and selected a Range of +/-
32 semitones on the KeyQuant module. The output signal from the KeyQuant module is routed to one
of the Pitch inputs of the Osc A module. The Pitch mod attenuator of the Osc A module is set to 127 to
ensure correct semitone intervals.

This module generates a control signal that will transpose an OSC to one of its harmonic partials. The
range of the partial generator is 0 to +/- 64 partials in steps of 0.5 partials. Note that the practical limit
of Nord Modular is +/- 32 partials. If the range is set above +/- 32 partials, the oscillator will remain on
its 32nd partial until the control signal amplitude has decreased below +/- 32 partials.

Displays the control signal range set with the attenuator knob. For the display to show the correct range,
it is assumed that the input signal uses its whole dynamic range (+/- 64 units). Values exceeding +/- 32
partials are shown with an asterisk, indicating that the practical output limit is exceeded.
