Pitch Modulation; Pitchbend; Portamento - Waldorf Pulse User Manual

Pitch Modulation

In addition to the modulation matrix, Pitch Modulation is available as a fixed assignment.
This gives you another modulation option without having to assign a matrix path.

Pitchbend

Most MIDI keyboards are equipped with a device that allows you to alter the pitch. These
are capable of sending MIDI Pitchbend messages and are usually called pitch wheels or
pitch benders.
In the Pulse, Pitchbend messages can be used to modulate the pitch for all oscillators.

Portamento

Portamento is a continuous gliding from one note to another as some string and brass
instruments are capable of (e.g. trombone). The following two parameters are used to
determine the type of portamento the Pulse can produce.
Portamento
Mode
User's Manual Pulse • PulsePlus
-64...+63 Determines the amount of modulation.
S.00...S.15 Determines the modulation source. Sources are
assigned in the same manner as in the matrix.
0...24 Determines the intensity of the pitchbend in semitones
via the Pitchbend messages.
1...127 Determines the duration of a glide.
Portamento off
This parameter determines the type of portamento.
normal: portamento from the previous
note to the next.
fingered: portamento on sustained
(legato) notes only.
