In this video, let's take a look at the Modulation Matrix of Wavetable.
Let's see how you can use the various modulation sources to affect the sound of the Wavetable device.
Modulation in Wavetable allows you to control parameters of the Wavetable device
relative to their position by using Wavetable Modulation sources.
There are five modulation sources within the Wavetable device.
These consist of three envelopes and two LFOs.
You also have the possibility of using MIDI modulation sources and MPE modulation sources.
All three modulation sources can be used together.
For this particular video, we're going to focus only on the internal modulation sources of the Wavetable device.
Most MIDI modulation sources can be controlled using a MIDI controller.
Similarly, MPE modulation sources can be controlled using an MPE controller.
Both MIDI and MPE modulation sources can also be controlled by using the Envelope section of MIDI clips.
You can use a modulation source and apply it to a destination or target in the Modulation Matrix.
If you toggle Wavetable's Expanded view, all matrices are combined together.
All MIDI modulation targets are on the left-hand side of the matrix.
When you load a default instance of Wavetable, the Oscillator 1 position,
the Amplitude and the Pitch are already available as targets.
To add another target to the Modulation Matrix, simply click the parameter with the mouse cursor,
and this will be automatically added to the Modulation Matrix.
I'd like to use the modulation source LFO 1 to modulate the filter frequency of the Wavetable device.
To do this, I'll simply click in the window that corresponds to the modulation target and the modulation source.
I can then apply the modulation by clicking and dragging to the left or to the right.
I can also use my computer keyboard to type in the value.
Now I'll use the modulation source LFO 2 to modulate the wave position of Oscillator 1.
It's even possible to modulate modulation sources themselves
and add them to the Modulation Matrix to be modulated by another modulation source.
Using MIDI modulation sources or MPE modulation sources works in exactly the same way.
As an example, I'll use the velocity of the notes to modulate the wavetable position of Oscillator 1.
The Global Amount adjusts the modulation of all modulation sources within the Modulation Matrix.
A lower value decreases the effect of all modulators, whereas a higher value increases the effect of all modulators.
The Global Time scales the time of all modulators.
Negative values make envelopes and LFOs faster, whereas positive values make envelopes and LFOs slower.
Global Modulation Time as well as Global Modulation Amount can also be added to the Modulation Matrix.
