Sound Parameters – Mod Matrix Section121 Waldorf microQ User´s ManualMod Matrix SectionA modulation can be described as a signal-generating unit’s influence upon a sound parameter. Theterms used in this context are "source" and "destination". The microQ offers 16 independentmodulation assignments (slots) each with individual settings of source, destination and amount. TheModulation Matrix (Mod Matrix) is the key of the power of each Waldorf synthesizer, so startexperimenting with it right now.The following picture of the microQ’s parameter matrix shows the Mod Matrix section:Select Source Amount DestinationMod MatrixThe Modulation Matrix is split into two basic kinds of modulations:Fast Modulation Matrix (M1F…M8F)These slots feature a high internal update rate, intended to be used for modulations that require veryfast calculations.Standard Modulation Matrix (M1S…M8S)These slots are calculated at normal speed, which is still fast enough for most modulation purposes,e.g. when dealing with the modulation wheel or velocity. The Standard Modulation Matrix slots offeran extended set of modulation sources and destinations compared with the Fast Modulation Matrix. For in-depth information about modulation speed and tables of the various available sourcesand destinations, read the chapter “Modulation Speed Levels” on page 46.Mod Matrix Parameter ControlsAll parameters related to the Modulation Matrix can be edited with the endless dials of the ModMatrix section.SelectSelect the respective slots M1F…M8F or M1S…M8S.Source see Tables “Fast Modulation Sources” and“Standard ModulationSources”Defines the modulation source. Please take into consideration that the number of modulation sources available depends on thetype of modulation slot you’re using.Amount -64…+63Determines the amount of modulation applied to the destination. Since the modulation is in fact amultiplication of the source signal and this parameter, the resulting amplitude depends on the type ofmodulation source you select:• For the so-called unipolar modulation sources, the resulting amplitude lies within the range of0…+1, if Amount is positive or 0…-1, if Amount is negative. These sources are: all envelopes, |
