# Modulation Control Bar

***

### Overview

The **Modulation Control Bar** provides an overview of Evoke’s six freely assignable modulators. It also lets you assign modulation, swap or copy modulator types, and open each modulator’s panel for editing.

### 1. Modulator Preview

Each modulator shows a preview of its output once it’s assigned to one or more controls.

Hover over this area to highlight all related modulation connections in yellow. Click to open the modulator’s panel for further editing.

You can also assign modulation by clicking and dragging from the preview area onto a control.

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

* **View in Mod Matrix.** Open the **Mod Matrix** pop-up for this modulator to view and edit all of its connections at once.
* **Bypass Destination.** Enable or disable any of the related modulation connections.
* **Remove Destination.** Remove any of the related modulation connections.
* **Reset Modulator.** Reset the modulator to its default settings while preserving all connections.

{% hint style="info" %}
Hold **Option** (macOS) or **Alt** (Windows) and drag the modulator’s preview area to copy it to another modulator slot.

**Command-click** (macOS) or **Ctrl-click** (Windows) a modulator’s preview area to open the **Mod Matrix** pop-up for that modulator, where you can view and edit all its connections at once.
{% endhint %}

### 2. Modulator Assignment Icon

Each modulator includes a circular icon dedicated to assigning modulation via drag and drop. Click and drag the icon, then drop it on the desired control.

When you add a modulation assignment, the relevant modulator panel opens automatically when possible.

### 3. Modulator Type Dropdown

Click a modulator’s name to change its type ([LFO](/evoke-manual/modulation/morphing-lfo.md), [Curve](/evoke-manual/modulation/curve-sequencer.md), [Follower](/evoke-manual/modulation/envelope-follower.md)). All modulation assignments remain intact, making it easy to experiment with different movement throughout the preset.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.minimal.audio/evoke-manual/modulation/modulation-control-bar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
