Modulation Matrix

The modulation matrix allows you to alter all the parameters of BLUE, using either internal controls such as envelopes, LFO etc or external midi control such as pitchbend, aftertouch and other controllers.

There are twenty different modulation matrix slots, and they are used in order untill a blank modulation slot is reached, so you need to make sure that you don’t have blank spaces between different modulation controls.

Pressing the Page 1 or Page 2 buttons toggles between the two modulation matrix pages in case you have run out of slots on page 1.

Clicking in the source column allows you to select one of the 33 modulation sources; these are divided into two sections synth and midi and should all be self explanatory.

Clicking in the amount column and moving up/down sets how much this modulation source will alter the modulation destination, the amount shown is dependant on the modulation destination.

For example if the destination is pitch, then the modulation amount is shown in semitones and if the modulation targets are time based like the Speed of an LFO the range goes from 25% up to 400%. This means that the speed goes from 25% of the original speed (i.e. ¼ as fast) to 400% of the original speed (i.e. 4 times as fast). Clicking in the destination column selects which one of the 91 modulation destinations, and which parameter is to be altered by the modulation source.
