The ramp modulator generates a ramp signal from zero to one over a set time frame, which can be synced to your project tempo and set to loop or trigger once, functioning as either an LFO or an envelope. It allows for both polyphonic and monophonic modes, with options for adjusting modulation amount, curve, and direction, and can be set to only retrigger shapes under certain conditions. This flexible modulator is particularly useful for creative modulation, synchronizing playback positions in step sequencers or samplers, and stretching audio loops to match your project’s tempo.
In this video, I showed how to create interesting rhythmic effects by using various modulators, such as the ramp modulator, the beat LFO, and the scalar. I demonstrated how to use the ramp modulator to modulate a filter, how to blend in different rhythms with the LFO, and how to use a replacer to create note-generating signals. Additionally, I showed how to use the Poly-Grid to trigger notes and modulate their speed, as well as how to use a delay to create off-grid high hats.
