Page Programming Basics Programming Basics This chapter explains how XL-7 sounds are constructed and contains important background information on how to create your own custom presets. Page Modulation such as Pitch or AmpVol. In the previous example, an envelope generator Sources was routed to automatically turn the volume control as programmed by the envelope, or, a low frequency oscillator could be routed to turn the volume control up and down in a repeating fashion.

It continues to loop through these four stages until the key is released where it immediately jumps to the Release 1 stage. The LFO Frequency waveforms are shown in the following illustration. Oscillators Ra nd o m Tr i a ng l e Page Modulation Destinations LFOs, envelope generators and modulation wheels output continuously changing values.

Multiple sources can control the same destination, or a single source can control multiple destinations. Page Modulation Processors Programming Basics Modulation Processors Modulation Modulation processors are devices which can modify modulation sources such as LFOs and envelope generators before they are applied to a desti- Processors nation.

Modulation processors let you create patches and do tricks which would not be possible otherwise. These modulation processors are indepen- dently programmable on each of the four layers. Page Lag in destination. The summing amp is located before where you want to control a the lag processor as shown in the following illustration. It is important to understand Modulation that although the preset processors originate at the Preset Level PatchCords, Processors their output is used in the Layer PatchCords.

Page Perc. Amt - When this knob is turned up, the positive bias on the Amp The decay time increases as the is restored so that so that the Ramp can now affect Amp Volume.

Modulation processors are designed according to this modular concept. Page Setting the DC value to a positive value would bring the velocity switch point down. The PatchCord screens for this patch are shown below. Page You can start to see some of the possibilities and there are many. A sine wave is the simplest form of sound wave.
