Modulation

Although the sonic character of the Pro 2 is largely determined by its

oscillators and filters, its power to make truly unique sounds comes from

its extensive modulation capabilities. The Pro 2 has 25 fixed-source

modulation paths and 16 user-configurable paths with over 50 different

modulation sources and over 140 different destinations. This makes the

Pro 2’s modulation matrix as powerful as many modular synths. For a

complete list of modulation sources and destinations, see page 78.

Think of a modulation slot as a virtual patch cable that lets you connect

any modulation source (envelope, sequencer, LFO, etc.) to any modula-

tion destination (filter cutoff, pulse width, delay time, etc.). You can also

control how much the source affects the destination by specifying the

modulation amount.

To display the modulation matrix, press the
