To understand how and why the modulation matrix is so important, we need to discuss the concept of modulation. Modulation is the process of controlling one or more properties (destinations) of a signal using another signal (source). • MODULATION SOURCE - To add a modulation source, navigate to the SOURCE column and the bus you wish to use, and use the rotary knob or DATA ENTRY fader to select the required source. A simple example would be the control of the VCF cut-off frequency by an sinusoidal LFO signal. The LFO would open and close the filter automatically which you could do by moving the cut-off frequency fader manually. However, by using a modulation signal you not only free up your hands and mind, you also open up additional options such as: • Synchronisation with other parameters and actions • Speeds of modulation well beyond what you could achieve by hand • Accuracy, or programmed inaccuracy of modulation signal • Modulating multiple destinations from the same source • MODULATION ROUTING DEPTH - To change the bus routing depth, navigate to the DEPTH column and the bus you wish to use, and use the rotary knob or DATA ENTRY fader to select the required depth. • Using multiple sources to modulate the same destination • Using a source to modulate a parameter, such as LFO Rate, which indirectly affects another modulation such as Velocity to Attack Time. • Using a source to modulate the depth of another modulation Taking the concept further, the DeepMind 12 offers a huge amount of sources and destinations.

The MOD switch will then start flashing and the MOD MATRIX page will appear as shown: Note: The possible modulation combinations are 8 busses x 24 sources x 132 destinations which will allow over 25,000 possible combinations. Note: The parameters of the various FX can also be used as modulation destinations. In the lists of FX and their parameters in section 9.3, those parameters which can be used as modulation destinations are noted. 3. To navigate the options in the MOD MATRIX page, use the BANK/UP or BANK/DOWN switches and the -/NO or +/YES switches. 4. Selected parameters are adjusted using the rotary knob or the DATA ENTRY fader. The rotary knob has a click which allows very accurate control. The fader allows rapid adjustment across the full range.

MOD MATRIX
The MODULATION MATRIX (MOD MATRIX) is one of the most powerful aspects
of the DeepMind 12 synthesizer. To understand how and why the modulation
matrix is so important, we need to discuss the concept of modulation.
Modulation is the process of controlling one or more properties (destinations) of
a signal using another signal (source).
A simple example would be the control of the VCF cut-off frequency by an
sinusoidal LFO signal. The LFO would open and close the filter automatically
which you could do by moving the cut-off frequency fader manually. However,
by using a modulation signal you not only free up your hands and mind, you also
open up additional options such as:
•
Synchronisation with other parameters and actions
•
Speeds of modulation well beyond what you could achieve by hand
•
Accuracy, or programmed inaccuracy of modulation signal
•
Modulating multiple destinations from the same source
•
Using multiple sources to modulate the same destination
•
Using a source to modulate a parameter, such as LFO Rate, which indirectly
affects another modulation such as Velocity to Attack Time.
•
Using a source to modulate the depth of another modulation
Taking the concept further, the DeepMind 12 offers a huge amount of sources
and destinations. For a full list please consult the tables at the end of this section.
The DeepMind 12 MOD MATRIX allows creation of eight "busses." Each bus has a
source, a destination modulation, and a routing depth.
1.
To access the MOD MATRIX page, press the MOD switch below the DATA
ENTRY fader.
2.
The MOD switch will then start flashing and the MOD MATRIX page will
appear as shown:
3.
To navigate the options in the MOD MATRIX page, use the BANK/UP or
BANK/DOWN switches and the -/NO or +/YES switches.
4.
Selected parameters are adjusted using the rotary knob or the DATA ENTRY
fader. The rotary knob has a click which allows very accurate control. The
fader allows rapid adjustment across the full range.

MODULATION SOURCE
- To add a modulation source, navigate to the
SOURCE column and the bus you wish to use, and use the rotary knob or
DATA ENTRY fader to select the required source.
•
MODULATION ROUTING DEPTH
- To change the bus routing depth,
navigate to the DEPTH column and the bus you wish to use, and use the
rotary knob or DATA ENTRY fader to select the required depth.
•
MODULATION DESTINATION
- To add a modulation destination, navigate to
the DESTINATION column on the bus you wish to use,
and use the rotary
knob or DATA ENTRY fader to select the required destination.
Note:
The possible modulation combinations are 8 busses x 24 sources x 132
destinations which will allow over 25,000 possible combinations.
Note:
The parameters of the various FX can also be used as modulation
destinations. In the lists of FX and their parameters in section 9.3, those
parameters which can be used as modulation destinations are noted.
