Global Controls - Native Instruments Razor Manual

▪ [4] Modulation Amount: Every parameter that has a modulation amount knob under­
neath it can be modulated. The modulation amount can be positive and negative. In
mid position the modulation amount is zero. In this case the modulation source should
be set to 'none'. This helps to save CPU.
▪ [5] Modulation Source: Displays the selected modulation source. Click on this area to
select a new one. Then a picker page will pop up on the display. Click on an entry to
select it or click on the modulation source area again to cancel.
Tracking modulators routed to pitch or cutoff frequency related parameters is a special case of
modulation: Then A modulation amount of 100 results in a 'linked' behavior. That means that
an octave jump in the modulation source results in an octave jump at the modulated parame­
ter. For more information for the tracking modulators see the 'modulator' section below.

This area contains controls which affects the whole instrument.

MONO / POLY: MONO activates the monophonic voice mode. Only one voice is generated
▪
by the instrument. POLY activates the polyphonic voice mode. The number of voices
can be set in the instrument properties (properties are not accessible in REAKTOR
PLAYER). RAZOR has 6 voices as default.
SINGLE TRIGGER: Available in MONO mode. If on 'single trigger' mode is active: Note on
▪
events that occur while a note is held don't start a new note. The pitch of the held note
is updated instead.
VOICE LIMIT: Available in POLY mode. Opens a dialog to set the numbers of voices in the
▪
low range. That is below the G1 (note #31) on the MIDI keyboard. Lower notes take
more CPU power. If you do not intend to play chords in the lower key range, you can
save some CPU by lowering the number of bass voices. 3 bass voices should be enough
for most cases. If set to 'max' there is no limitation of polyphony which can result in
high CPU consumption.
