Modulation is a key component of all forms of synthesis. MASSIVE X provides nine modulation sources that can be assigned to almost any parameter. 调制是所有合成形式的关键组成部分。MASSIVE X 提供 9 个调制源,几乎可以分配给任何参数。
Modulation is a key component of all forms of synthesis. It is the way in which you shape a signal and the tool with which to breath life and movement into a sound. MASSIVE X provides nine modulation sources in the form of Modulators, which can be used to control various parameters across the synth. Modulator 1 is a dedicated Amp-Envelope, hard-wired to control the Amplifier level. Each of the remaining eight Modulators can be assigned to any of the four modulation sources: Modulation Envelope, Exciter Envelope, Switcher LFO, and Random LFO. On a basic level, Modulators can be used to apply LFOs or envelopes to create simple contours or add motion to a sound. However, through an extensive network of modulation routing possibilities, as well as the specific controls of the Modulators themselves, more intricate arrangements can be constructed. 调制是所有合成形式的关键组成部分。它是您塑造信号的方式,也是将生命和运动注入声音的工具。MASSIVE X 以调制器的形式提供 9 个调制源,可用于控制合成器中的各种参数。调制器 1 是一个专用的 Amp-Envelope,硬接线用于控制 Amp升压器电平。其余 8 个调制器中的每一个都可以分配给四个调制源中的任何一个:调制包络、激励器包络、切换器 LFO 和随机 LFO。在基本层面上,调制器可用于应用 LFO 或包络,以创建简单的轮廓或为声音添加运动。然而,通过广泛的调制路由可能性网络,以及调制器本身的特定控制,可以构建更复杂的安排。
The Modulators are accessed and assigned via the Navigation Bar using the tabs labeled e.g. E1, E2, E3 for envelopes and L1, L2, L3 for LFOs. For information on how to assign the Modulators to parameters, refer to Assigning Modulation. 调制器通过导航栏使用标签进行访问和分配,例如 E1、E2、E3 用于包络,L1、L2、L3 用于 LFO。有关如何将调制器分配给参数的信息,请参阅分配调制。
The flexible and comprehensive range of modulation sources and routing possibilities provide considerable power for sound design. When properly exploited, the Modulators can go beyond your basic modulation needs, facilitating more advanced applications, like physical modeling, velocity-sensitive envelope shaping, multi-stage envelopes for complex shaping and so much more. 灵活而全面的调制源和布线可能性为声音设计提供了相当大的动力。如果利用得当,调制器可以超越您的基本调制需求,促进更高级的应用,如物理建模、速度敏感包络整形、用于复杂整形的多级包络等等。
Envelopes信封
Envelopes are one of the most common and powerful tools for contouring your synth sound. In more typical use cases, envelopes control the loudness of an amplifier, shape the tone and color of a filter, or adjust the pitch of a signal. They can also be used for more creative objectives, like applying modulation to the speed of a sequence, the delay time of a stereo effect, or the rate of another Modulator. 包络是塑造合成器声音轮廓的最常见和最强大的工具之一。在更典型的用例中,包络控制放大器的响度,塑造滤波器的音调和颜色,或调整信号的音高。它们还可用于更具创造性的目标,例如对序列的速度、立体声效果的延迟时间或其他调制器的速率进行调制。
LFOs低频振荡器
While envelopes create motion by defining the contour over a set of time and level based stages, LFOs typically have a fixed wave shape, useful for producing cyclical, predictable rhythmic modulation. LFOs (low frequency oscillators) produce a signal below the human range of hearing. As the signal cannot be heard, it is ideal for producing movement and animation, adding a sense of motion and depth to a sound. Modulation effects can become a defining character of a sound, for example, vibrato when an LFO is applied to the pitch of an oscillator, or tremolo when applied to an amplifier. Slow LFOs allow for subtle, elongate changes over time, while higher frequency rates can be used as a source for frequency modulation, amplitude modulation, and other types of audio-rate modulation. 虽然包络通过在一组基于时间和电平的阶段上定义轮廓来产生运动,但 LFO 通常具有固定的波形,可用于产生周期性、可预测的节奏调制。LFO(低频振荡器)产生的信号低于人类的听觉范围。由于听不到信号,因此非常适合制作运动和动画,为声音增加运动感和深度感。调制效果可以成为声音的一个定义特征,例如,当LFO应用于振荡器的音高时,颤音,或应用于放大器时的颤音。慢速低频振荡器允许随时间推移而发生细微、细长的变化,而较高的频率速率可用作频率调制、幅度调制和其他类型的音频速率调制的源。

Amp EnvelopeAmp 信封
The Amp Envelope is used to control the response and shape of the Amplifier. Hardwired to the Amplifier, it offers individual scaleable curve controls over the Attack and Release stages, as well as Delay and Hold stages that provide additional control over the Amplifier's articulation. Amp Envelope 用于控制 Amp 的响应和形状 Amp扩音器。它与放大器硬连线,在起音和释放阶段以及延迟和保持阶段提供单独的可缩放曲线控制,从而对放大器的发音提供额外的控制。
In relation to human perception of amplification, small changes at low amplitude typically have a distinct and pronounced effect, while small changes made at higher volumes produce a less obvious result. Exponential shapes, as found on the Shape controls are especially effective for controlling the amplitude as they work to balance out the logarithmic shape of the amplifier, producing a smoother and more continuous change in volume. 就人类对放大的感知而言,低振幅下的微小变化通常具有明显而明显的效果,而在较高音量下进行的微小变化会产生不太明显的结果。形状控件上的指数形状对于控制振幅特别有效,因为它们可以平衡放大器的对数形状,从而产生更平滑、更连续的音量变化。
The Trigger modes allow you to adapt to the way the Amplifier receives MIDI triggers. Gate mode is particularly useful when playing with a keyboard, as it provides a way to control the sound depending on the duration and intensity at which a key is pressed and held. For more information about the Amplifier, refer to Amplifier. 触发模式允许您适应 Amp升压器接收 MIDI 触发器的方式。门模式在使用键盘演奏时特别有用,因为它提供了一种根据按下和按住键的持续时间和强度来控制声音的方法。有关 Amp升压器,请参阅 Amplifier。

Modulation Envelope调制包络
The Modulation envelope in MASSIVE X offers a highly flexible and precise way of shaping your signal. Through comprehensive routing options, this envelope can be used to control virtually any aspect of the signal. MASSIVE X 中的调制包络提供了一种高度灵活和精确的信号整形方式。通过全面的路由选项,该包络可用于控制信号的几乎任何方面。
Alongside the standard Attack, Decay,Sustain and Release parameters, one Delay stage and two Hold stages provide additional control over the shape and contour of the envelope, enabling you to create sounds that seemingly have multiple sustain stages. The Delay control is typically used to delay the start of modulation, or to delay the impact of a modulation source. It occurs before the start of the envelope and can be particularly useful in sound design, for example, creating a measured time between the onset of the Amplifier envelope and a Filter envelope. By delaying the Filter envelope, a double attack-style effect is produced, opening a world of intricate sound design possibilities. 除了标准的起音、衰减、延音和释放参数外,一个延迟级和两个保持级还可以对包络的形状和轮廓进行额外控制,使您能够创建看似具有多个延音级的声音。延迟控制通常用于延迟调制的开始,或延迟调制源的影响。它发生在包络开始之前,在声音设计中特别有用,例如,在放大器包络开始和滤波器包络开始之间创建测量时间。通过延迟滤波器包络,产生双重起音风格的效果,打开了一个错综复杂的声音设计可能性的世界。
Attack Shape and Decay Shape allow you to determine the slope of the envelope when rising and falling. This allows for more precise sculpting and contouring, as different shapes are more suitable for different musical uses. Linear shapes set a direct path from one stage to the next, while exponential curves are commonly used to create pitch sweeps, as they create a more effective continuous sweep than a linear or logarithmic envelope. “攻击形状”(Attack Shape) 和“衰减形状”(Decay Shape) 允许您确定上升和下降时包络线的斜率。这允许更精确的雕刻和轮廓,因为不同的形状更适合不同的音乐用途。线性形状设置从一个阶段到下一个阶段的直接路径,而指数曲线通常用于创建音高扫描,因为它们创建比线性或对数包络更有效的连续扫描。

Exciter Envelope激振器包络
The Exciter envelope is a particularly fast envelope that has been specifically designed to trigger the Comb filter, producing a resonator in physical modelling. It also effective for creating percussive sounds, with its quick attack and short release times. 激励器包络是一种特别快的包络,专门设计用于触发梳状滤波器,在物理建模中产生谐振器。它还可以有效地产生打击乐声音,具有快速的起音和较短的释放时间。
The Exciter is unlike a standard ADSR based, multi-stage envelope generator. It is an Attack-Release envelope with short times, functioning in a single cycle, with a defined centre point and Hold stage that maintains the peak level from Attack to Release stages. 激振器不同于基于ADSR的标准多级包络发生器。它是一种攻击-释放包络,时间短,在单个周期内运行,具有定义的中心点和保持阶段,可保持从攻击到释放阶段的峰值水平。
To use this envelope as an exciter for the Comb filter, it must be assigned to one of the Modulation Sources via the Routing page, routed to the Comb filter and then the filter routed to the output. This enables you to set the Comb filter into oscillation and create tones from the Feedback. A low Ratio setting produces the short envelope burst needed to create sound from the filter. For more information, refer to Comb. 要将此包络用作梳状滤波器的激励器,必须通过“路由”页面将其分配给其中一个调制源,路由到梳状滤波器,然后将滤波器路由到输出。这使您能够将梳状滤波器设置为振荡,并从反馈中创建音调。低比率设置会产生从滤波器产生声音所需的短包络突发。有关详细信息,请参阅 Comb。
Tip
You can also use the Exciter envelope to briefly trigger self-oscillation of resonant filters at high Res settings. This so-called filter pinging produces a damped sine wave that can be played via MIDI by using key tracking (KTR). The SVF filter types are especially suitable for this purpose. 您还可以使用激励器包络在高分辨率设置下短暂触发谐振滤波器的自振荡。这种所谓的滤波器ping会产生一个阻尼的正弦波,可以使用键跟踪(KTR)通过MIDI播放。SVF 筛选器类型特别适合此目的。
The Exciter Envelope contains the following parameters and controls: 激励器包络包含以下参数和控件:
Ratio: Controls the length of the envelope. Turning the knob right, increases the value, resulting in a longer envelope. 比例:控制信封的长度。向右转动旋钮会增加值,从而产生更长的包络。
Center: Tilts the envelope towards the Attack stage when turned left, or towards the Release stage when turned right. 中心:向左转时将包络线向攻击阶段倾斜,向右转时向释放阶段倾斜。
Attack Shape: Changes the curve of the attack (A) stage of the envelope from parabolic to logarithmic. 攻击形状:将包络线的攻击 (A) 阶段的曲线从抛物线更改为对数。
Release Shape: Changes the curve of the release (R) stage of the envelope from parabolic to logarithmic. 释放形状:将包络线的释放 (R) 阶段的曲线从抛物线更改为对数。
Hold: Increases the width of the peak stage of the envelope, determining how long the level of this stage will be held. 保持:增加包络的峰值级的宽度,确定该阶段的水平将保持多长时间。
Velocity: Controls the influence of the incoming MIDI note’s velocity on the overall amplitude of the envelope. When turned fully left, the envelope amplitude is not influenced by the velocity of the incoming notes. When the fader is turned fully right, the overall envelope amplitude is directly proportional to the velocity of the incoming notes. The Velocity button changes the slope of the Velocity control from linear to logarithmic, when activated. 力度:控制传入的 MIDI 音符的速度对包络整体振幅的影响。当完全向左转动时,包络振幅不受传入音符速度的影响。当推子完全向右转动时,整体包络振幅与传入音符的速度成正比。激活后,“速度”按钮会将“速度”控件的斜率从线性更改为对数。

With Uni selected, the modulation is unidirectional and moves only in one direction. 选择 Uni 时,调制是单向的,并且仅在一个方向上移动。
When Window is selected, the envelope is unidirectional and mirrored at the center. This removes the independent controls for attack and release, and offers only one shape control as the stages are now identical. 选择“窗口”(Window) 时,包络是单向的,并在中心镜像。这删除了用于攻击和释放的独立控件,并且仅提供一个形状控件,因为阶段现在相同。
Display: Provides a visual representation of the envelope shape, based on how the knobs and menus are set. Move the controls described above to see how each parameter influences the shape of the envelope. 显示:根据旋钮和菜单的设置方式提供信封形状的可视化表示。移动上述控件以查看每个参数如何影响包络的形状。
Switcher LFO切换台 LFO
The Switcher LFO offers a suite of LFO types, optimized for different use cases. The LFO is made up of the Rate, Shape, and Amp sections, running from left to right. The Rate section determines the speed and the play mode of the LFO. Depending on the mode selected, the Rate knob will change its appearance and functionality. Osc mode, provides an extremely fast modulation option that can be used in sync with the pitch of the Wavetable oscillators. The Shape section offers 16 different waveform shapes, from the typical Sine, Triangle, Saw and Square, to Ramp, Random, Spike and more. 切换台 LFO 提供了一套 LFO 类型,针对不同的用例进行了优化。LFO 由 Rate、Shape 和 Amp 部分组成,从左到右运行。速率部分决定了 LFO 的速度和播放模式。根据所选的模式,速率旋钮将改变其外观和功能。Osc 模式提供极快的调制选项,可与波表振荡器的音高同步使用。形状部分提供 16 种不同的波形形状,从典型的正弦波、三角波、锯齿波和方波,到斜坡波、随机波、尖峰波等。
Assigning a modulation source to the Shape selector allows you to scan through the different LFO shapes, creating some dramatic sonic effects. The Fall/Rise control in the Amp section can be used to determine the fade in and fade out of the LFO. The envelope is not velocity sensitive, and always restarts each time a MIDI gate is received. This can be particularly useful in musical applications, for example, when using the LFO for pitch vibrato, it enables you to fade in the vibrato slowly. The flexible shapes allow you to customise your LFO to tailor very specific modulation tasks. 将调制源分配给形状选择器允许您扫描不同的 LFO 形状,从而创建一些戏剧性的声音效果。Amp 部分中的 Fall/Rise 控件可用于确定 LFO 的淡入和淡出。包络对速度不敏感,每次接收到MIDI门时总是重新启动。这在音乐应用中特别有用,例如,当使用 LFO 进行音高颤音时,它使您能够在颤音中缓慢淡入淡出。灵活的形状允许您自定义 LFO 以定制非常具体的调制任务。
The Play modes determine whether the LFO loops continuously or plays through one cycle only, and how the LFO cycle resets in response to incoming MIDI triggers. In addition to standard Gate and Restart behavior, Loop REL mode can be used to create interesting release effects. 播放模式决定了 LFO 是连续循环还是仅播放一个循环,以及 LFO 循环如何重置以响应传入的 MIDI 触发器。除了标准的 Gate 和 Restart 行为外,Loop RELmode 还可用于创建有趣的释放效果。
The Switcher LFO contains the following parameters and controls: 切换台 LFO 包含以下参数和控件:
Rate Mode: Selects one of three modes (Sync, Free, OSC), which determine the rate in which the LFO repeats its cycles. 速率模式:选择三种模式(同步、自由、OSC)之一,这些模式决定了 LFO 重复其周期的速率。
In Sync mode, the LFO is synchronized to the host tempo. It provides a slider with five positions, each of which can be programmed to your desired time division. Editing the numerator and denominator separately allows you to produce specific time divisions, and also facilitates more esoteric ones. Sync mode organizes the denominator values in a non-linear manner, to provide quick access to the most common values. Standard values /4, /8, /16, /32 are then followed by triplets /12 (8-note triplets), /24 (16-note triplets), /48 (32-note triplets), and so on, until 99. The change of Rate happens as soon as the slider hits a new position, with no fading in between. 在同步模式下,LFO 与主机速度同步。它提供了一个具有五个位置的滑块,每个位置都可以编程为您所需的时分。分别编辑分子和分母可以生成特定的时分,也有助于更深奥的时分。同步模式以非线性方式组织分母值,以提供对最常见值的快速访问。标准值 /4、/8、/16、/32 后跟三连音 /12(8 音符三连音)、/24(16 音符三连音)、/48(32 音三连音)等,直到 99。一旦滑块到达新位置,Rate 就会发生变化,中间不会褪色。
In Free mode, the Rate is absolute and independent from the host tempo. The slider subdivision are replaced with a continuous knob to control the speed of the LFO. The range, in Hz, extends from very slow to very fast rates. The knob is scaled in this respect, giving finer control in the middle ranges. The overall rate range is 0.004 Hz to approximately 60 Hz. Centre position is around 5.3 Hz, which is ideal for pitch vibrato. 在自由模式下,速率是绝对的,独立于主机速度。滑块细分被一个连续的旋钮所取代,以控制 LFO 的速度。范围(以 Hz 为单位)从非常慢的速率扩展到非常快的速率。旋钮在这方面进行了缩放,在中频范围内提供了更精细的控制。总速率范围为 0.004 Hz 至约 60 Hz,中心位置约为 5.3 Hz,非常适合音高颤音。
In Osc mode, the LFO operates at audio rate, becoming an additional keytracking oscillator. The values generated by the Rate control are linked to incoming MIDI notes, turning Rate into a control for transposition, ranging from zero when turned fully right, down to -96 semitones lower than the note pitch. 在 Osc 模式下,LFO 以音频速率运行,成为额外的按键跟踪振荡器。Rate 控件生成的值与传入的 MIDI 音符相关联,将 Rate 转换为移调控件,范围从完全向右转动时为零到比音符音高低 -96 个半音。
Latch Rate: When activated, changes to the Rate (via direct control or modulation) are latched until the next note is received. 锁存率:激活后,对速率的更改(通过直接控制或调制)将被锁存,直到接收到下一个音符。
Waveform Selector: Selects one of sixteen waveforms for the LFO. The new shape is updated with each cycle, providing a synchronized switch when heavily modulated. 波形选择器:从 LFO 的 16 个波形中选择一个。新形状在每个周期中更新,在大量调制时提供同步开关。
Latch Shape: When activated, changes to the Shape (via direct control or modulation) are latched until the next note is received. 闩锁形状:激活后,对形状的更改(通过直接控制或调制)将被锁定,直到收到下一个音符。
LFO Level: Amplifies the output of the LFO. Turning the knob right increases the amplification level. LFO 电平:放大 LFO 的输出。向右转动旋钮会增加 amp电平。
Polarity: Selects from three Polarity settings (Bi, Uni, Uni Z) that determine how the envelope in the Amp section behaves. 极性:从三种极性设置(Bi、Uni、Uni Z)中进行选择,这些设置决定了 Amp 部分中的包络行为。
When Bi (Bipolar) is selected, the output range of the LFO is -100% to +100%. The waveform always starts at 0%, independent of which shape is selected. 选择Bi(双极性)时,LFO的输出范围为-100%至+100%。波形始终从 0% 开始,与选择的形状无关。
Uni (UniPolar) offers a range of 0 to 100%. The waveform will always start at 50%, independent of the selected shape. Uni (UniPolar) 提供 0 到 100% 的范围。波形将始终从 50% 开始,与所选形状无关。
Uni Z (UniPolar Zero) also has a range of 0 to 100% . The differences between Uni and Uni Z can only be heard when the oscillator is restarted with a new note trigger. The Polarity setting is reflected in the modulation. Uni Z(UniPolar Zero)的范围也为 0 到 100%。Uni 和 Uni Z 之间的差异只有在振荡器使用新的音符触发器重新启动时才能听到。极性设置反映在调制中。
Delay: Applies a delay to the onset of the LFO. When turned fully left, no delay time is applied and the LFO starts immediately. Turning the knob right increases the delay time. 延迟:对 LFO 的开始应用延迟。当完全向左转动时,不会施加延迟时间,LFO 会立即启动。向右转动旋钮会增加延迟时间。
Fall/Rise: Adjusts the way the LFO fades in or out. At centre position the LFO has infinite falling time, working as though it is always on. Turning the knob right produces a short rising ramp that becomes longer as it is turned fully right. Turning the knob left creates a very small decay fall time, which extends to a very long falling time as the control is turned fully left. The display, located below the Fall/Rise knob, provides a visual representation of the shape of the fades. 下降/上升:调整 LFO 淡入或淡出的方式。在中心位置,LFO 具有无限的下降时间,就好像它始终处于开启状态一样工作。向右转动旋钮会产生一个短的上升斜坡,当它完全向右转动时,斜坡会变长。向左转动旋钮会产生非常小的衰减下降时间,当控制器完全向左转动时,衰减下降时间会延长到很长的下降时间。显示屏位于下降/上升旋钮下方,可直观地显示淡入淡出的形状。
Mono: When deactivated, the LFO is polyphonic. Each incoming note receives its own LFO. When activated, the LFO is monophonic and all incoming notes receive the same LFO, regardless of pitch. 单声道:停用时,LFO 是复调的。每个传入的音符都会收到自己的 LFO。激活后,LFO 是单声道的,无论音高如何,所有传入的音符都会接收相同的 LFO。
Midi: Switches between Midi and Remote mode for resetting and latching the LFOs. When Midi is selected the LFO resets and latches based on incoming MIDI note events. If Remote is selected the LFO resets and latches when you change key switches in the Remote Octave. Midi:在 Midi 和 Remote 模式之间切换,用于重置和锁定 LFO。选择 MIDI 时,LFO 会根据传入的 MIDI 音符事件进行复位和锁存。如果选择了远程,当您更改远程倍频程中的按键开关时,LFO 会复位并锁定。
Play Mode: Selects from six settings (Loop, Loop RST, Loop GTE, Loop REL, 1shot, 1shot REL), that determine the general behavior of the LFO. 播放模式:从六种设置(Loop、Loop RST、Loop GTE、Loop REL、1shot、1shot REL)中进行选择,这些设置决定了 LFO 的一般行为。
Loop is the most classic setting, with the LFO running in an infinite loop, regardless of whether notes are being played or not. 循环是最经典的设置,无论是否演奏音符,LFO 都会无限循环运行。
Loop RST (Loop Restart) also runs in an infinite loop, but will immediately jump to a given phase if a MIDI trigger is received from Zone or Remote. Loop RST(Loop Restart)也在无限循环中运行,但如果从区域或远程接收到MIDI触发器,则会立即跳转到给定的相位。
Loop GTE (Loop Gate) follows the same behavior as Loop Restart, but cuts the LFO as soon as the note is released. Loop GTE(Loop Gate)遵循与Loop Restart相同的行为,但在释放音符后立即切断LFO。
Loop REL (Loop Release) deactivates the LFO as soon as note is received. When the note is released, the LFO resets and the modulation is in effect. In this mode, it is important to set a long release time on the Amp envelope, or the effect will not be heard. Loop REL(Loop Release)在收到音符后立即停用 LFO。当音符被释放时,LFO 复位并且调制生效。在此模式下,重要的是在 Amp 包络上设置较长的释放时间,否则将听不到效果。
When 1shot (One Shot) is selected, only one cycle of the LFO will be played. Note on will always restart the LFO and go to zero after the cycle, regardless of the LFO value or polarity setting. This ensures predictable results, regardless of the LFO waveform. 选择 1shot (One Shot) 时,将只播放一个循环的 LFO。请注意,无论 LFO 值或极性设置如何,循环后将始终重新启动 LFO 并归零。这确保了可预测的结果,无论LFO波形如何。
1shot REL (One Shot Release) follows the same principles as 1shot mode, but creates a cycle when the note is released. In this mode it is also important to set a long Release time on the Amp envelope, or the effect will not be heard. 1shot REL(One Shot Release)遵循与 1shot 模式相同的原理,但在释放音符时会创建一个循环。在此模式下,在放大器包络上设置较长的释放时间也很重要,否则将听不到效果。
Tip
When in Sync mode, try modulating the Rate with another Switcher LFO. While sweeping through the positions on the slide, experiment in programming subtle variations in time divisions. 在同步模式下,尝试使用另一个切换台 LFO 调节速率。在扫描幻灯片上的位置时,尝试对时间划分的细微变化进行编程。
Random LFO随机LFO
Adding randomness to your signal can inject human-like character to an otherwise highly controlled sound. This naturalistic quality is grounded in chance, probability and human error; the essence of what distinguishes a drummer from a drum machine. The Random LFO is a specialized LFO that generates different kinds of controllable variable random numbers, and provides controls to alter the type, range and amount of randomness applied. 为您的信号添加随机性可以为原本高度控制的声音注入类似人类的特征。这种自然主义的品质是建立在偶然性、概率和人为错误的基础上的;鼓手与鼓机区别的本质。随机 LFO 是一种专门的 LFO,可生成不同类型的可控可变随机数,并提供控制以改变所应用的随机性的类型、范围和数量。
The Random LFO can also be used as a generator by activating the Audio Noise button. Assigning the LFO to a Modulation source via the Routing page enables you to use the LFO as a noise source in the audio signal path. For more information on using Modulators as generators, refer to Modulation Modules. 随机 LFO 也可以通过激活音频噪声按钮用作发生器。通过“路由”页面将 LFO 分配给调制源,可以将 LFO 用作音频信号路径中的噪声源。有关将调制器用作发生器的更多信息,请参阅调制模块。
The Amp Jitter can be used to produce a precise amount of random values. Mixing between the two extremes, particularly with fast Rate settings, has a significant impact on the color of the noise. The independent controls can produce a wide range of noises and random modulations. Amp Jitter 可用于生成精确数量的随机值。在两个极端之间混合,特别是在快速速率设置下,对噪声的颜色有重大影响。独立控制可以产生各种噪声和随机调制。
The Random LFO contains the following parameters and controls: 随机 LFO 包含以下参数和控件:
Rate mode: Selects one of three modes (Sync, Free, OSC), which determine the rate in which the LFO repeats its cycles. 速率模式:选择三种模式(同步、自由、OSC)之一,这些模式决定了 LFO 重复其周期的速率。
In Sync mode, the LFO is synchronized to the host tempo. A slider offers five positions, each of which can be programmed to your desired time division. Editing the numerator and denominator separately allows you to produce specific time divisions, and also facilitates more esoteric ones. Sync mode organizes the denominator values in a non-linear manner, to provide quick access to the most common values. Standard values /4, /8, /16, /32 are then followed by triplets /12 (8-note triplets), /24 (16-note triplets), /48 (32-note triplets), and so on, until 99. The change of Rate happens as soon as the slider hits a new position, with no fading in between. 在同步模式下,LFO 与主机速度同步。滑块提供五个位置,每个位置都可以编程为您所需的时分。分别编辑分子和分母可以生成特定的时分,也有助于更深奥的时分。同步模式以非线性方式组织分母值,以提供对最常见值的快速访问。标准值 /4、/8、/16、/32 后跟三连音 /12(8 音符三连音)、/24(16 音符三连音)、/48(32 音三连音)等,直到 99。一旦滑块到达新位置,Rate 就会发生变化,中间不会褪色。
In Free mode, the Rate is absolute and independent from the host tempo. The slider subdivision are replaced with a continuous knob to control the speed of the LFO. The range, in Hz, extends from very slow to very fast rates. The knob is scaled in this respect, giving finer control in the middle ranges. The overall rate range is 0.004 Hz to approximately 60 Hz. Centre position is around 5.3 Hz, which is ideal for pitch vibrato. 在自由模式下,速率是绝对的,独立于主机速度。滑块细分被一个连续的旋钮所取代,以控制 LFO 的速度。范围(以 Hz 为单位)从非常慢的速率扩展到非常快的速率。旋钮在这方面进行了缩放,在中频范围内提供了更精细的控制。总速率范围为 0.004 Hz 至约 60 Hz,中心位置约为 5.3 Hz,非常适合音高颤音。
In Osc mode, the LFO operates at audio rate, becoming an additional keytracking oscillator. The values generated by the Rate control are linked to incoming MIDI notes, turning Rate into a control for transposition, ranging from zero when turned fully right, down to -96 semitones lower than the note pitch. 在 Osc 模式下,LFO 以音频速率运行,成为额外的按键跟踪振荡器。Rate 控件生成的值与传入的 MIDI 音符相关联,将 Rate 转换为移调控件,范围从完全向右转动时为零到比音符音高低 -96 个半音。
Latch Rate: When activated, changes to the Rate (via direct control or modulation) are latched until the next note is received. 锁存率:激活后,对速率的更改(通过直接控制或调制)将被锁存,直到接收到下一个音符。
Amp Jitter: Adjusts the amount of random modulation applied to the amplitude of the signal. Turned fully left, the basic waveform of the LFO is unaltered. Turning the knob right increases the amount of unpredictable values. When turned fully right, a completely random value is produced with each cycle. Amp Jitter:调整应用于信号幅度的随机调制量。完全左转时,LFO的基本波形保持不变。向右转动旋钮会增加不可预测的值的数量。当完全向右转动时,每个循环都会产生一个完全随机的值。
Freq Jitter: Adjusts the amount of random modulation applied to the frequency of the signal. Turned fully left, the basic waveform of the LFO is unaltered. Turning the knob right increases the random frequency fluctuation. This can produce results similar to white noise, if Amp Jitter is set to a low value. Freq Jitter is only available in Free and Osc modes. 频率抖动:调整应用于信号频率的随机调制量。完全左转时,LFO的基本波形保持不变。向右转动旋钮会增加随机频率波动。如果将 Amp Jitter 设置为较低值,则会产生类似于白噪声的结果。Freq Jitter 仅在 Free 和 Osc 模式下可用。
Threshold: Provides further treatment for the amplitude, and only has an effect if the Amp Jitter is turned up. Random values below a set Threshold are forced to zero, which can be used to drastically thin out the noise. 阈值:提供对振幅的进一步处理,并且仅在放大器抖动调高时才有效。低于设定阈值的随机值被强制为零,这可用于大幅降低噪声。
Seed: Adjusts the seed that feeds the random sequence introduced by Amp Jitter and Freq Jitter. This control is only available in the play modes Loop RST, Loop GTE, and Loop REL. Adjusting Seed produces a new random sequence, starting with the next reset event. You can use this to explore different randomly acquired waveforms and repeat them with every new note. 种子:调整为放大器抖动和频率抖动引入的随机序列提供种子。此控件仅在播放模式 Loop RST、Loop GTE 和 Loop REL 中可用。 调整 Seed 会生成一个新的随机序列,从下一个重置事件开始。您可以使用它来探索不同的随机获取波形,并在每个新音符中重复它们。
Shape: Adjusts the shape and smoothness of the ties between values. Technically speaking, it's applying a linear interpolation to the values. When turned fully left, a smooth interpolation is produced and when turned right, hard steps are created. 形状:调整值之间关系的形状和平滑度。从技术上讲,它是对值应用线性插值。当完全向左转时,会产生平滑的插值,当向右转时,会产生硬步。
Audio Noises: When activated, the LFO operates in audio rate. This turns the LFO into a Noise generator, which when assigned to a modulation source in the Routing page, can be used in the audio signal path. 音频噪音:激活后,LFO 以音频速率运行。这会将 LFO 变成噪声发生器,当在“路由”页面中将其分配给调制源时,可以在音频信号路径中使用。
LFO Level: Amplifies the output of the LFO. Turning the knob right increases the amplification level. LFO 电平:放大 LFO 的输出。向右转动旋钮会增加 amp电平。
Polarity: Selects from two Polarity settings (Bi, Uni) that determine how the envelope in the Amp section behaves. When Bi (Bipolar) is selected, the output range of the LFO is -100% to +100%. The waveform always starts at 0%, independent of which shape is selected. Uni (UniPolar) offers a range of 0 to 100%. The waveform will always start at 50%, independent of the selected shape. 极性:从两个极性设置(Bi、Uni)中进行选择,这些设置决定了 Amp 部分中的包络行为。选择Bi(双极性)时,LFO的输出范围为-100%至+100%。波形始终从 0% 开始,与选择的形状无关。Uni (UniPolar) 提供 0 到 100% 的范围。波形将始终从 50% 开始,与所选形状无关。

Loop is the most classic setting, with the LFO running in an infinite loop, regardless of whether notes are being played or not. When turning Amp Jitter and Freq Jitter to the right, the waveform will randomly change over time. 循环是最经典的设置,无论是否演奏音符,LFO 都会无限循环运行。当向右转动 Amp Jitter 和 Freq Jitter 时,波形会随时间随机变化。
Loop RST (Loop Restart) also runs in an infinite loop, but will immediately jump to a given phase if a MIDI trigger is received from Zone or Remote. When turning Amp Jitter and Freq Jitter to the right, the waveform will change randomly over time, but start the same random sequence again upon receiving a MIDI trigger.

Tip
To get started, try applying the Random LFO to the Pitch of an oscillator, or the Wavetable Position. Turn the Shape control toward the square shape to create rhythmic variations in pitch and timbre. Experiment with all the settings to hear the range of noises and random voltages you can create. 首先,尝试将随机 LFO 应用于振荡器的音高或波表位置。将“形状”控件转向正方形,以创建音高和音色的节奏变化。尝试所有设置,以听到您可以创建的噪声范围和随机电压。
