70 ARTURIA – MOOG MODULAR V 2.6 – USER’S MANUAL
The first two frequency modulation inputs work in an exponential mode, while the third, “Lin” works in a linear
mode.
Connected directly to a generator (envelope, oscillator, sequencer…), the maximum amplitude
of the modulation is of +/- 4 octaves. When it is necessary to have a stronger modulation, an
amplifier module must amplify the signal of the generator.
A certain number of internal connections simplify the use of the keyboard follow, sequencer,
portamento and pitch bend.
To avoid having to manage the tuning of the keyboard follow with the amplitude of the
modulation input, with a visualizer we can choose which keyboard follow (from 1 to 4) is to be
used. This keyboard follow is directly configured to tune the oscillator in function to the note
played.
The functioning is the same for the sequencer outputs (1 to 4) controlling the tuning of this
group of oscillators. In the “no” follow position, the oscillator is set to the note C3, irrespective
of the keyboard notes. In the same manner, when set to the “no” sequencer position, this
group of oscillators is disconnected from the sequencer output.
A keyboard follow can of course be connected to modulation input. In that way, the pitch of
each notes can be adjust very fine. We can then simulate the non-linearity of analog keyboard.
The “LFO” position of the display indicates that the oscillator group is no longer dependant of
the keyboard. That is to say, it permanently functions on a monophonic voice. This function is
especially useful when we want to use this oscillator group as source of low frequency
modulation.
Furthermore, each of the keyboard follows can activate the response of oscillators and filters to
portamento and pitch bend.
