Modulation
What a modulator does to a waveform — the envelope, the LFO, and everything between.
Everything in Modulation
Each piece states what feeds it and what it feeds. Nothing here is numbered, and any of them can be the first one you read.
- Loose jack
The Envelope: One Voltage, Four Decisions
An ADSR is not a shape you dial in — it is four separate voltage behaviours, each governed by a different physical process.
- Fed by 1
The Shape Is the Argument
The LFO waveform you choose is not a texture setting — it is a statement about how change happens.
- Fed by 3
Depth Is the Parameter Nobody Labels
The signal gets you there; the level between them is the actual decision.
- Loose jack
When the Audio Rate Becomes the Modulator
Below a few hertz, modulation shapes a sound over time. Above it, modulation becomes the sound itself.
Where this section sits
The cable leaves Modulation and arrives somewhere else. These are the other four.
