7. MODULATION
Modulation adds movement to your sound by changing controls over time. This movement defines
the character and expression of a sound as you play it, from the contour of its amplitude, or vol-
ume level, to its timbral qualities. In technical terms, modulation is composed of slowly changing
signals that cannot be heard directly. When you apply modulation to controls in your patch, the
controls change their value according to the shape of the modulation signal.
MASSIVE X puts a strong focus on the concept of modulation by combining sophisticated modula-
tion sources with an intuitive system for modulation assignment: modulation sources can be ap-
plied to any number of parameters by using drag and drop, and the modulation assignments are
visualized directly in the user interface. Color-coded rings or lines next to controls show not only
which type of modulation source is used, but also the amount of modulation applied to the parame-
ter.
7.1. Modulation Overview
This section provides an overview of the user interface elements used for modulation, including
the modulation sources and the modulation slots that are used as destinations.
(1) Modulation sources: All available modulation sources can be accessed from the navigation
bar. You can show them in the Editor in groups of three by clicking on their labels (e.g. P1, E2, L8,
T3). For an overview of the available modulation sources, see Modulation Sources.
(2) Modulator menu: Selects one of four available Modulators: Modulation Envelope, Exciter
Envelope, Switcher LFO, Random LFO. You can choose one of the Modulators for each of the
blue and green modulation sources in the navigation bar. For more information about the Modula-
tors, see Modulators.
(3) Modulation assignment: The arrow icon is used to assign the corresponding modulation
source (1) to a parameter. To do this, you can either drag and drop the arrow icon onto a modula-
tion slot (5), or first click the arrow icon and then the modulation slot. For more information, see
Assigning Modulation.
Modulation
17 Manual
(4) Modulation slot: Displays and controls the modulation assignment for the corresponding pa-
rameter. Two modulation slots are available for each parameter (left and right slot beneath a con-
trol). When a modulation source is assigned, clicking and dragging the modulation slot up and
down adjusts the modulation amount as displayed by the color-coded ring or line next to the con-
trol. For more information, see Assigning Modulation.
(5) Sidechain modulation slot: Used to assign a modulation source for sidechain modulation.
Sidechain modulation controls the modulation amount, or strength, of the modulation slots to the
left and to the right (4). The sidechain modulation slot can also be used for direct modulation of the
parameter like a regular modulation slot. For more information, see Sidechain Modulation.
(6) Sidechain modulation amount: Adjusts the amount of sidechain modulation applied to the
corresponding modulation slot from the sidechain modulation slot (5). For more information, see
Sidechain Modulation.
(7) Modulation amount: A color-coded ring or line next to a control shows the amount of modula-
tion applied to the parameter from the modulation source assigned to the respective modulation
slot. For more information, see Assigning Modulation.
(8) Modulation slot menu: This context menu opens by right-clicking a modulation slot. You can
use it to delete the modulation assignment for this modulation slot.
(9) Modulation source menu: This context menu opens by right-clicking a modulation source in
the navigation bar (1). You can use it to mute or delete all modulation assignments for this modula-
tion source.
7.2. Modulation Sources
MASSIVE X features a comprehensive set of modulation sources that you can use to add move-
ment to your sound. All modulation sources can be assigned and accessed from the navigation
bar:
(1) Performers: The three Performers are specialized sequencers for modulation. They provide a
flexible way to apply complex, rhythmical movement to parameters. For more information, see Per-
formers.
(2) Modulators: The Modulators cover all basic modulation needs, but also provide advanced fea-
tures for special applications. The first Modulator (5) is defined as Amp Envelope (E1) and hard-
wired to control the Amp level. Each of the other eight Modulators can either be a Modulation En-
velope, an Exciter Envelope for physical modelling, a Switcher LFO for periodic modulation, or a
Random LFO for random effects. For more information, see Modulators.
(3) Trackers: The four Trackers provide deep functionality for advanced keyboard tracking. They
map incoming MIDI control data to modulation that you can apply to any parameter. This enables
you to define exactly how your sound responds to the MIDI input. For more information, see Track-
ers.
(4) Voice Randomization: Voice Randomization allows you to add pseudo-random variation to
your sound by generating a different modulation value per voice. For more information, see Voice
Randomization.

For information about removing or replacing Modulation assignments, see Removing
and Replacing Modulation.
7.4. Removing and Replacing Modulation
You can remove or replace the modulation assignment of any modulation slot while retaining the
modulation amount that has been set. When assigning a new modulation source, the original mod-
ulation amount is taken over.
To remove a modulation assignment:
Right-click the modulation slot and select Delete.
To replace a modulation assignment with another:
Drag and drop the new modulation source onto the already assigned modulation slot.

For information about removing or muting Macro assignments, see Removing and
Muting Macros.
8.3. Replacing Macros
In some scenarios, you might want to remove a 1:1 Macro assignment and instead assign the
Macro to a modulation slot of the same parameter, or vice versa.
To replace a 1:1 Macro assignment for a parameter with a modulation slot assignment:
1. Drag and drop the Macro icon from the Header onto the modulation slot.
2. A dialog box appears, asking you to confirm the change. Click OK to remove the 1:1 Macro
assignment, and replace it with a modulation slot assignment.
To replace a modulation slot assignment for a parameter with with a 1:1 Macro assignment:
1. Drag and drop the Macro icon from the Header onto the parameter's control.

2. A dialog box appears, asking you to confirm the change. Click OK to remove the Macro's
modulation slot assignment, and replace it with a 1:1 Macro assignment.
8.4. Removing and Muting Macros
You can remove or mute Macro assignments using the context menu for each Macro by right-click-
ing on the Macro number.
When a Macros is assigned to one control, it is referred to as 1:1 mapping.
To remove a Macro assignment from a single control:
1. Right-click the Macro number, located to the left of the corresponding control knob.
2. Select Remove 1:1 mapping.

9.7. Oscillator
This section becomes available if the Engine Setup is operating in Reset All or Reset OSC mode.
It allows you to set the start phase of the two oscillators and the phase spread of the additional
unison voices. For information about the Oscillators, see Wavetable Oscillators.
(1) Phase: Adjusts the restart phase of the oscillator. In middle position (0 degrees), the oscillator
starts from the original phase. Turned fully left, the phase starts at -180 degrees and turned fully
right, the phase starts at +180 degrees. Usually center position is used.
(2) Spread: Spreads out the starting phases for the added unison voices. At minimum position all
voices start at the same phase position.
9.8. Noise
This section is where you determine the phase restart position of the Noise sources. For more in-
formation of the Noise sources, see Noise.
(1) Phase: Adjusts the start position for each noise source.
(2) Restart: When active, the noise source restarts at the set phase position, each time a key is
pressed.
9.9. Unison
The Unison section can be used to fatten up and add life to your sounds. Additional voices with
slightly different tunings can be used to recreate analog style "beating", the sound of multiple oscil-
lators drifting in and out of phase. On the other side of the spectrum, the Unison section can be
used to create chords and harmonies on top of single notes played. The additional unison voices
comprise the full voice architecture as set up in the Routing section and are not limited to just the
oscillators.

(1) FB (feedback) level: Adjusts the level, or volume of the feedback loop. This way you can con-
trol the chaotic behavior and distortion produced by the feedback.
(2) High-pass filter: Enables a high-pass filter that cuts low frequency content in the feedback
loop. When activated, you can avoid overloading the feedback loop with excessive bass.
10.5. Modulation Modules
The Modulation modules in the Polyphonic Area of the Routing page make it possible to use any
of MASSIVE X's modulation sources as generators in the signal path. For example, you can use
the Switcher LFO in OSC mode as an additional oscillator, or the Exciter Envelope as an exciter
for the Comb filter.
To assign a modulation source to a Modulation module in the Polyphonic Area:
1. Click the modulation source's arrow icon (1) to select it, then click on the Modulation module
slot (2) in the Polyphonic Area to assign it.
Routing
46 Manual
The signal produced by the modulation slot is now sent from the Modulation module's output and
can be used anywhere in the signal path.
10.6. Using the Routing Page
On the Routing page, you arrange and connect the individual building blocks, or modules, that
make up the synthesizer. Connections between the modules' inputs and outputs are established
using wires. Outputs can be connected to any number of inputs and vice versa. This way you can
distribute signals to multiple destinations or mix multiple outputs into the same input:
10.6.1. Routing Workflows
To make a connection between modules:
1. Click on an output to show all available inputs it can be connected to.
2. Click on the input you want to connect the output to.
Alternatively, you can click and drag from an output to an input to connect them.
Routing
47 Manual
To make an exclusive connection to an input, meaning that all existing connections to the input will
be removed:
1. Click on an output to show all available inputs it can be connected to.
2. Right-click on the input you want to connect the output to exclusively.
To delete a wire:
Double-click the wire you want to remove.
To delete all connections from a module:
Double-click the module that you want to remove all connections from.
You can also disable, or bypass any number of modules directly on the Routing page. This pro-
vides a quick way of listening to the effect a generator or processor is having on the sound.
To bypass a module while keeping its connections intact:
Right-click the module you want to bypass.
