3:8 Modulation in Cypher
This section covers parameter modulation in Cypher (control-rate modulation). For a detailed guide to Cypher’s audio-rate
modulation capabilities, see chapter 4.
Some of Cypher’s modulators feature dedicated routings and depth controls for certain parameters, while others must be
utilized within the TransMod system (see chapter 7)
Gateable modulators
Gateable modulators (which can be gated with note-on/-off or triggered with note-on) feature a number of different gating/
triggering modes, including the ability to gate or trigger each other. For more details, see section 7:5.
LFO1 & LFO
Direct routings: none
LFO1 gateable by: Poly, PolyOn, Mono, Ramp, ModEnv1, Song
LFO2 gateable by: Poly, PolyOn, Mono, Ramp, ModEnv2, Song
Ramp
Direct routings: none
Gateable by: Poly, PolyOn, Mono, Ramp, LFO1, Song
ModEnv1 & ModEnv
Direct routings: Filter Cutoff
LFO1 gateable by: Poly, PolyOn, Mono, Ramp, LFO1, Song
LFO2 gateable by: Poly, PolyOn, Mono, Ramp, LFO2, Song
Amp Envelope
Direct routings: VCA Amp
Gateable by: Poly, PolyOn, Mono, Ramp, LFO1, Song
Glide
Cypher is capable of smoothing both velocity and pitch control signals.
For further details on the
Pitch Glide and Vel Glide functions, see sections 6:3 and 7:6.
Keytracking (modulation from keyboard pitch)
Direct routings: Osc Pitch (on/off), Filter 1 & Filter 2 (variable)
Keytracking is modulation from the pitch of the keyboard. The pitch modulation source value increases by 1 over each
octave. As well as the direct routings and depth controls specified above, keytracking can also be achieved by using the
Pitch source in the TransMod system.
See section 7:7 for more details about keytracking.
Oscillators as LFOs
Each osc functions as an LFO if its Low switch is enabled. Each osc is available as a TransMod source (Osc1 + -, Osc2 + -
and Osc3 + -) for modulating any parameter. See section 7:8 for more details.
Beating rates as LFOs
The beating rates between oscillators are available as TransMod sources, which can be used as additional LFOs. These
sources operate regardless of the
Beat control. All beating rates can be utilized in the TransMod system, whether constant
beating via the Beat control, or conventional irregular beating when manually detuning oscs against each other.
Section 7:8 contains a summary of the beating rate TransMod sources.
