Tip: When using any of these buttons—either the dedicated buttons on the front
panel or the soft buttons (mod tabs) under the display—pressing once displays
the function’s page and a second press turns the function on (if it’s presently off)

LEVEL
-100 ··· +100
This parameter sets the amount of modulation
that will affect the selected destination using

. Keep in mind that negative values
invert the action of the selected source. For
example, if Velocity is the source and a
negative value for
negative value for
LEVEL
is used, playing
harder will reduce the level of the destination.

PWMOD
PWM
Button + LED
Uses same parameters as above with the exception of
DEST
which is, of course,
the selected VCO’s Pulse Width as the only destination. See the following page
for more information on
PWMOD
.
FMMOD
MOD
Button + LED
Uses same parameters as above with the exception of
DEST
which provides
three destinations only. See the following page for more information on
FMMOD
.
