6.5 Special Effect and Stereo modules. Additional modulation tools and
settings panels
By clicking on the button at the left of the user interface, you can access to some very fun and useful
display and modulations modules. We have already seen the sequencer display module where you
can see and edit the sequences, but you will find the SPACE XY, a powerful Dynamic Stereo
Modulation YX pad, and the VOICE XY, a Polyphonic Modulation YX pad.
6.5.1 SPACE XY
This module, the Dynamic stereo Modulation YX pad, allows you to position each available voice inside the
stereo space. Click on a voice inside the 2-D positioning screen and move it. You can put it left, right, but also
far or close to the two simulated microphones. These microphones have a cardioid pick-up pattern and can be
oriented thanks to the Mic knob. They can also be moved to get a wider or narrower stereo effect.
WIDTH: Change the stereo field width. Turn left to get a very wide filed, right a smaller. Notice that
with a wide field, there is a noticeable time for the sound to go from its source to the microphone. It
could be annoying, but can be a good way to add some groove to your sequences.
Init Pos.: This opens a menu to set voices in pre-recorded places. "Random Wide" puts them randomly
within all the available space while "Random Tiny" in a smaller space, keeping the voices close to each
other.
