Alesis QuadraSynth Plus manual Modulation Destination, Alfo

Editing Programs: Chapter 6

•Random This provides a different modulation value every time you hit a key. Example: With vintage analog synth patches, use pitch as the destination and apply a very slight amount of random modulation. Each note will have a slightly different pitch, which simulates the natural tuning instability of analog circuits.

•Trigrate This is a Trigger Rate Follower, which monitors how fast notes are being played on the keyboard. For example, if routed to the Effect send of a Program, you could automatically have more effect when playing slowly, and less effect when playing quickly.

•Controllers (A, B, C, D) Four incoming MIDI controllers can be recognized by the QuadraSynth Plus and used as modulation sources. These controllers are assigned as A–D in Global Mode (see Chapter 8). In Program Play Mode and Mix Play Mode, the four Quad Knobs can be used to control these directly.

•Tracking Generator This accepts the output of a signal processed by the Tracking Generator module (see page 81).

•Stepped Tracking Generator This accepts the output of a signal processed by the Tracking Generator module in stepped mode (see page 81).

Modulation Destination

Quad Knob [2] selects one of several modulation destinations. You can find out more about these parameters and how they affect the sound in their respective sections (for example, to learn how Pitch Envelope Attack affects the sound, see page 72 on Pitch Envelopes).
