Modulation Matrix: Overview over Sources and Destinations

[Lizard-of-Oz]

Somebody on Elektronauts asked about the mod matrix, so I created this overview over sources and destinations for all engines.

@synthdawg might be nice to have this in the manual, and to clarify what the S and D in Env Amp S and Env Filter D means

Enigne	Slots	#	Destinations	Sources
ACD	-	-	fixed modulations only: LFO: Pitch, PW, Filter Cutoff Env: PW	-
FAT	-	-	fixed modulations only: LFO: Fatness, Filter Cutoff	-
WAVS	6	14	Osc1: Pitch, Position, Warp Osc2: Pitch, Position, Warp Osc Mix, Noise Env: Amp S, Filter S/D, Aux S Filter Cutoff, Volume	Env: Amp/Filt/Aux, LFO: 1/2
VAP	6	14	Osc 1: PW, Pitch, Shape Osc 2: PW, Pitch, Shape Osc Mix, Noise Env: Amp S, Filter S/D, Aux S Filter Cutoff, Volume	Env: Amp/Filt/Aux, LFO: 1/2
WTFM	6	14	Osc 1: Pitch, Shape, Feedback Osc 2: Pitch, Shape, Feedback Feedback 1->2, FM Env: Amp S, Filter S/D, Aux S Filter Cutoff, Volume	Env: Amp/Filt/Aux LFO: 1/2
PMD	3	11	Bow: Level, Timbre Air: Level, Timbre Strike: Level, Timbre Position, Brightness, Damping Env: Aux S Tune	Env Aux , LFO
PHZ	6	15	Osc1: Pitch, XMod, YMod, Shape Osc2: Pitch, XMod, YMod, Shape Osc Mix Env: Amp S, Filter S/D, Aux S Filter Cutoff, Volume	Env: Amp/Filt/Aux LFO: 1/2
GRAIN	6	11	Grains: Position, Size, Shape, Densitiy Osc Pitch Env: Amp S, Filter S/D, Aux S Filter Cutoff, Volume	Env: Amp/Filt/Aux LFO: 1/2
DWA	6	15	Osc1: Loop S, Loop W, Pitch, Direction, Feedback, Feedback Delay Osc2: Loop S, Loop W, Pitch, Direction, Feedback, Feedback Delay Mix Filter Cutoff, Volume	Env: Amp/Filt/Aux LFO: 1/2

Apparently there’s a bug related to the mod matrix affecting the destinations related to envelopes.

Mod Matrix Destinations Related to Envelopes Don't Work

Bug Description At least in WAP, WAVS and DWA selecting Env Amp S, Env Filter S, Env Aux S or Env Filter D as destinations in the mod matrix does not produce any effect. Probably affects the other engines, too. Steps to Reproduce I started with an init patch, and latched a note in the arpeggiator (I set up a long gate time so the sustained part of the note is audible Then I set up the sound like this: . , . LFO1 Frequency 0.2Hz Waveform square (free, unsynced) Amp envelope …

I’ll edit the table above to show which of the destinations don’t work.

Does the ‘S’ mean sustain, and ‘D’ mean decay? I’m really new to the Synth (3 days!), love it, but I have noticed the lfo/mods seem its least strongest point.

Welcome to backstage @Chrisman. Great to have you join us here!

@Chrisman

Does the ‘S’ mean sustain, and ‘D’ mean decay?

Yep, you got it 100%

[Lizard-of-Oz]

Good to know, it might as well have been “speed” and “depth”.

Actually I’d have preferred that. What’s the application for modulating sustain specifically when you can already modulate volume?
