Sound Parameters – Modulation Speed Levels51 Waldorf Q User’s Manualw The recommended setting for Clock isAuto. This setting works in almost all situations. Pleaseread the description above for a detailed explanation of it.Modulation Speed LevelsThe Q offers three levels of modulation speeds, FM, Fast Modulation and Standard Modulation. Thisseparation assures a maximum flexibility in sound generation while keeping the amount of processorpower needed to calculate a voice as low as possible. You find separate descriptions how to accessthe different modulation types in the chapters below. The three modulation speed levels are dividedas follows:FM (Frequency Modulation)This is the fastest modulation speed level. These calculations are performed for each generatedsample or, in other words, 48000 times per second (48kHz). Five modules of the Q’s soundgeneration offer FM, the three oscillators and the two filters. When you browse the list of availablesources for this type of modulation, you will almost only find those sources that make sense tomodulate the destination with sample speed. This includes the oscillators, the audio input, noise, theLFOs, the envelopes and so on. You won’t find sources like modwheel or velocity, because theirvalues change incredibly slowly, compared to an oscillator playing at a pitch of i.e. 10kHz.

Most of the modulations in the Q are performed atthis speed level. The following table lists all pre-routed Fast Modulation destinations: |
