# Modulation *** ### **Overview** Current’s modulation system provides deep control through an intuitive visual interface located at the center of the **Engine** and **Effects** views. From this central **Modulation bar**, you can assign, edit, and manage modulators like Envelopes, LFOs, and Curve Sequencers, as well as access full modulation routing via the **Mod Matrix**. Modulation is assigned via drag-and-drop, right-click, or from the matrix, with all assignments clearly displayed as modulation sliders beside their targets. Each modulator type can be swapped on the fly, preserving connections and making experimentation easy. *** ### Key Functions * **Modulation Control Bar**\ Access all modulators, assign modulation, swap modulator types, and open the matrix from a centralized UI. * **Modulation Matrix**\ View and manage all modulation assignments, either globally or per control/modulator, with advanced filtering and connection bypass. * **Depth Modulation**\ Modulate the amount of modulation (e.g., macro → LFO depth) using nested connections—controlled directly from the modulation slider. * **Multiple Assignments**\ Any parameter can accept multiple modulation sources, managed via a dropdown next to the control. * **Keyboard & MPE Modulators**\ Built-in support for velocity, pitch bend, pressure, and other MIDI/MPE signals with fully editable response curves and ranges. *** ### Modulator Types * **Envelope**\ A 5-stage AHDSR with looping, one-shot, and synced behavior ideal for both classic envelopes and creative modulation. * **Morphing LFO**\ Morph between shapes with rate sync, trigger modes, fade-in, randomization, and phase offset. * **Curve Sequencer**\ A versatile draw-based modulator with grid-snapping, shape tools, randomization, and sub-presets. * **Envelope Follower**\ Converts amplitude from any source (pre/post level) into a modulation signal. Great for dynamic FX or internal ducking. * **Keyboard & MPE**\ Respond to velocity, note number, pressure, or MPE dimensions like Slide, Strike, and Press—with full curve and range editing. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://manual.minimal.audio/current-manual/modulation.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
