Modulation Assignments

---

Overview

Evoke supports multiple ways of assigning modulation. Once a modulator is connected to a control, most settings can be adjusted directly on the control (knob or slider). Additional options can be edited in the Mod Matrix or by right-clicking the control.

Assigning Modulation

There are multiple ways to assign modulation:

• Drag a Modulator Assignment Icon from the Modulation Control Bar onto a control.

• Open the Mod Matrix and select the modulation source and destination.

• Right-click a control and select Add Modulator.

Modulation Amount

Once you assign modulation, a circular Modulation Slider appears next to the control. Drag it to adjust the amount of modulation applied to that parameter. If multiple modulators are assigned to a control, the currently highlighted modulator’s slider appears in yellow.

You can also drag another modulator onto the Modulation Slider to modulate the first modulator’s depth. More on this below.

Option-Shift-click (macOS) or Alt-Shift-click (Windows) the modulation slider to toggle bipolar modulation.

You can also hold these keys during drag-and-drop assignment to apply bipolar modulation automatically.

Multiple Modulation Assignments

When multiple modulators are assigned to a parameter, a Modulation Assignment Dropdown icon appears next to the control. Click it to choose which Modulation Slider to display and edit.

Selecting a modulator highlights its connections throughout the plugin and opens its panel when possible.

You can also choose View in Mod Matrix to edit all connections for that control at once.

Depth Modulation

---

Depth Modulation refers to using a second modulator to automate the amount of modulation being applied by the initially assigned modulator (the depth of another modulation connection).

A common application is using a macro knob to apply Depth Modulation to an existing LFO assignment, so the macro controls how much LFO modulation is applied.

You can create a depth modulation connection by dragging and dropping any modulator onto an existing Modulation Slider, using the Mod Matrix, or right-clicking a Modulation Slider and selecting Add Depth Mod.

Once assigned, an inner ring appears within the Modulation Slider to represent the Depth Modulation amount.

Drag the Modulation Slider to set the depth modulation amount. To adjust the original modulation as if no Depth Modulation were assigned, hold Shift and drag the slider.

While it’s possible to edit Depth Modulation from the Modulation Slider, it’s often easier to control and understand in the Mod Matrix.

Modulator Slider Options

Right-click a Modulation Slider to open a menu with the following options:

• Set Bipolar/Unipolar. Toggle bipolar or unipolar behavior. Bipolar modulation moves above and below the current setting; unipolar moves only in one direction, depending on how the assignment is set.

• Set Bypassed/Active. Enable or disable the modulation assignment. Useful for checking the effect of the modulator without removing it.

• View in Mod Matrix. Open the Mod Matrix for the connected control to view all its connections at once.

• Remove Modulator. Remove the modulation assignment.

• Add/Remove Depth Mod. Add or remove a Depth Modulation assignment.

• Show Modulator Panel. Open the connected modulator’s panel.

Text sliders do not support all of this behavior, so we recommend editing their modulation in the Mod Matrix. Improved text slider modulation will be added in a future update.
