MALSTRÖM SYNTHESIZER
(RECORD+REASON)
601
The Modulator section
The Malström features two Modulators (mod:A and mod:B) These are in fact another type of oscillators, called LFOs
(Low Frequency Oscillators). They each generate a waveform and a frequency, much like osc:A and osc:B. However,
there are a couple of important differences:
• Mod:A and mod:B do not generate sound. They are instead used for modulating various parameters to change
the character of the sound.
• They only generate waveforms of low frequency.
Furthermore, both modulators are tempo syncable and possible to use in one shot mode, in which case they will ac-
tually work like envelopes.
Modulator parameters
The two Modulators have a few controls in common, but there are also some differences. Both the common param-
eters and the ones that are unique for each Modulator (the destinations) are described below.
D To activate/deactivate a Modulator, click the On/Off button in the top left corner.
When a Modulator is activated, the button is lit.
An activated Modulator
Curve
This lets you select a waveform for modulating parameters. Use the spin controls to the right of the display to cycle
through the available waveforms. Some of these waveforms are especially suited for use with the Modulator in one
shot mode (see below).
Rate
This knob controls the frequency of the Modulator. For a faster modulation rate, turn the knob to the right.
The Rate knob is also used for setting the time division when synchronizing the Modulator to the song tempo (see
below).
One Shot
To put the Modulator into one shot mode, click this button so that it is lit.
