TransMod slots
When you first launch a DCAM synth, it displays its Main view.
The Main view only edits the ‘basic state’ of the synth – the initial values of all controls before any TransMod modulation.
TransMod
slots 1-8
Prev/Next
slot buttons
If you click on any of the 8 TransMod slots’ selection area (where it says ‘via’), or use the Prev/Next slot buttons, the
synth’s interface changes so that most of its controls are able to set and display modulation depths away from the initial
value.
In this example, Strobe’s first TransMod slot (assigned to key-on velocity) contains modulation for the
osc Saw waveform level, filter Cutoff and amp Level parameters.
See chapter 7 for full details of the TransMod system.
• Click & drag:
Click the value and drag it up/down.
• Double-click & type:
Double-click the value, type a new one and
press ENTER/RETURN.
• Rotary selector click & drag (left):
Click the rotary selector and drag up/down.
• Rotary selector drop-down menu (below):
Click on the display that shows the setting and select the relevant
setting from the drop-down menu that appears.
• Fusor contains some rotary selectors that
are essentially pots (such as Steps in the
screenshot to the right), some which have
associated drop-down menus (such as
Step Duration) and some which are simply drop-down
menus (such as the Multiplier controls).
Drop-down menus can also be found in the synths – for example, TransMod slot source/scaler
menus, performance controller selectors in the preferences panel and the preset menu (click on
the preset name).
Rotary selectors and drop-down menus
Numerical text-boxes
There are two ways to adjust these controls:
Buttons
Buttons are generally ‘toggle’ type buttons – click to activate, click again to deactivate. Buttons light up when
activated. Some ‘radio’ button-style controls exist, such as the sub-oscillator
Octave buttons in Strobe.
Indicator LEDs
DCAM: Synth Squad instruments contain indicator LEDs which light up to represent LFO rates, audio-rate modulation
and so on. Do not confuse these with buttons, which are larger.
