8. THE MODULATION MATRIX
The Modulation Matrix extends the MiniFreak's sound design power well beyond the range
of many synthesizers. It allows you to specify which signals are in control, where they exert
their control, and how much.
In effect, the Matrix is a compact version of the one on the MatrixBrute. It uses simple
controls to pack a lot of modulation capability into a very small space.
The word
modulation
(often abbreviated "mod") means "change". When you modulate a
signal, you're changing it. That basic definition takes us a long way, as you'll see.
8.1. Select a Routing
When loading a preset the selected routing per default is the top left CycEnv > Pitch 1+2
Your Matrix encoder is in Mod Browse mode indicated by the absence of light on the Amount
led.
Turning the Matrix encoder will allow you to browse the routings row by row, left to right,
from the top to the bottom row.
Using Shift+Matrix encoder will allow you to browse the routings vertically while staying on
the current column.
The currently selected routing LED blinks and shows you where the selection is on the
matrix.
Once you are on the correct position, press the Matrix encoder to select this routing.
8.2. Set an Amount
Once you have selected your routing and pressed the Matrix encoder, the control will switch
to Amount mode reflected by the LED being lit on its right and the MiniFreak screen showing
you the Amount for that routing.
Turn the Matrix encoder clock-wise to increase or anti clock wise to decrease the amount
set.
Once you have set the desired amount for that routing make sure to click the Matrix encoder
again to jump back into Mod browsing mode.
