Recording Modulation

If you take a closer look at the knobs in the software Parameter pages of the Control area you
will notice they have an outer ring that changes its color to light grey as soon as you hover over
it with the cursor.
Drag the outer ring of the knobs to record modulation.
►
To record modulation for a knob in real time, click its outer ring and then drag it up and
down during playback.
²
Your movement are recorded into the Pattern and will be recalled as the playback is loop-
ed.
As soon as you create modulation for a parameter, the following happens:
▪ On the outer ring of the knob, the colored section (usually indicating the current parameter
value) is replaced by a little segment indicating the modulated value. During playback this
little segment follows the movement you have just recorded. The non-modulated value of
the parameter is still indicated by the little white segment on the knob itself. Since modu-
lation is defined relative to this non-modulated value, you can turn the knob to define the
reference value from which the recorded modulation will deviate.
▪ A modulation track is created for this parameter in the Modulation pane of the Control area
(at the bottom of the Pattern Editor) containing the modulation points you have just record-
ed. You can further edit the modulation track from there 4 see section
and Editing Modulation in the Control
Removing Modulation
You can also use the outer ring to remove the entire modulation for the knob:
►
To remove the entire modulation for a knob, simply right-click (on macOS: [Ctrl]+click) its
outer ring.
