Modulation

Modulation Overview
Most parameters can be modulated. Each modulation routing includes a primary modulation source, an intensity,
and a secondary modulation source; the three are multiplied together to create the modulation amount. A single
destination, such as Filter Cutoff, can have up to 31 incoming modulation routings. There is no fixed limit on the total
number of modulation routings. For descriptions of all of modwave native's modulation sources, see "Modulation
Sources" on page 58.
How are mod routings shown?
Modulated values are shown as orange dots on knobs and sliders. If a parameter is shown only as a text or numeric box,
and it is modulated, then the text is shown in orange.
The modulation inspector on the right side of the window shows the modulation routings, if any, for the selected
parameter. You can also use the inspector to add new modulations or delete existing ones.
Drag and drop modulation routings
To create a modulation routing using drag and drop:
1. In the Mod Sources footer, click and hold on the name of any of the following: the Mod or Pitch wheel, Enve-
lopes, LFOs, Filter or Amp Key Track, or Mod Processors. For Kaoss Physics, click and hold on the letters X,
Y, A (for Angle), or D (for Distance.) In the Keyboard page, click and hold on Note # or any of the Vel or AT
sources.
For the Mod Knobs, hover over a knob to show its cross-shaped drag handle, and then click and hold on the handle.

2. Drag to a modulation destination.
Most parameters are modulatable. Newly-created modulation routings will appear in the Mod Inspector.
Note: If a parameter cannot be modulated, a message will appear to that effect. If the message "Channel Sources Only"
appears, the parameter cannot be modulated from per-voice sources such as LFOs, envelopes, Step Seq Lanes, and Key
Track. In this case, choose a different modulation source.
3. In the Mod Inspector, set the Intensity as desired.
The maximum Intensity is typically +/- the full range of the parameter, so that regardless of the programmed value,
modulation can always reach the minimum or maximum values.
4. Optionally, assign a second modulator (the Intensity Mod Source), whose value will multiply that of the main
Source.
For example, you could route Step Seq B to Multi Filter Crossfade, with the overall amount of the step sequencer
modulated by the Amp LFO.
Note: Once a modulation routing is created, you can change either of the sources, but you cannot change the
destination.
Manually adding modulation routings
You can also manually add modulation routings using the Mod Inspector. This can be convenient if you want to create
a routing using more esoteric mod sources not available via drag-and-drop, such as Prog #of Notes or arbitrary CCs. To
do so:
1. Click on the desired destination parameter.
Provided that it is modulatable, its name will appear at the top of the Mod Inspector.
2. In the Mod Inspector, click on the "+" button.
A new modulation routing will appear.
3. Select mod sources and set Intensity as desired. If the mod source you want to use is available in the Mod
