Enable Variations is enabled for modules by default. Control positions are still stored for variations, but unchecking Enable Variations effectively 'bypasses' them, leaving current control positions intact. Note that Bypass Module may or may not appear depending on the programming of a module, so you or may not see it in the right-click menu for all modules.Įnable Variations- Enables or disables control changes from variations on a per-module basis. For modules that process signals (such as filters or audio effects), signals generally pass through the module unaltered. For modules where an audio or control signal originates, this disables all signal output.

Reset Controls- Initializes all controls of a module.īypass Module- Disables a module. This is a great way to create aleatory music with sequencer modules, but more importantly, check out how smart I sound using big words like 'aleatory.' This includes knobs, sliders, switches, etc. Randomize Controls- Sets all of a module's controls to a random value. Modules or groups of selected modules can also be duplicated by -dragging (PC) or ⌥-dragging (Mac). (Does not delete labels in other modules.)ĭuplicate- Creates a copy of the selected module with its current control settings at the nearest available open cabinet space. Remove All- Deletes all labels in the current module. Note that new labels will appear in the most recently used font/color style. You can also edit the text by double-clicking a label.Ĭolor- Selects the font style and 'tape' background color. It won't hurt anything, but it might make it hard to use a control!Įdit- Allows editing of label text. Be careful with placement, as labels can freely be set upon controls. Labels may also be horizontally resized by grabbing clicking and dragging on the left or right edges (cursor turns into an arrow). Labels can be moved anywhere on a module by grabbing them (cursor turns into a hand). Newly added labels will appear in edit mode type in the desired text and click to exit edit mode. Labels may also be creating with the keyboard shortcut (PC) or (Mac). These can be very helpful when creating elaborate patches, especially for 'relabeling' controls to more accurately describe their function in a given patch. If currently hidden, the Library tab automatically opens when the Find keyboard shortcut is used.Īdd Label- Creates an editable text label that can be freely positioned within the boundaries of the module. The search field can be initialized by clicking the X icon and can be immediately accessed at any time with the keyboard shortcut (PC) or (Mac). For example, typing “LFO” would display the LFO and MiniLFO modules. This field lets you search for modules by typing a few letters of the module name. These are the fields and buttons directly above the module list. Modules may be sorted according to their category (see all the sort criteria below). These categories affect how Voltage Modular handles processing internally. Visualizers - modules that display signals graphically Utilities- general category for modules that control signals or simplify patching Switches - modules that enable, disable, or redirect signals Sources- oscillators, noise generators, anything that makes a sound. Sequencers - modules that create melodic or rhythmic repeating CV patterns Processors- filters, waveshapers, EQ's, things that alter sound. Polyphonic Utilities - modules for combining or breaking out poly audio and control signals Oscillators - modules that generate audio or control signals Mixers - modules that mix audio or CV signals

Metering - audio level meters, oscilloscopes, etc. Logic - modules that perform mathematical CV operations I/O - audio, CV, or MIDI modules that transmit or receive signals to external hardware Instruments - modules that contain complete synth instruments Note that the number of categories has been expanded considerably from Voltage version 1.0.ĬV Processors- modules that perform operations that alter CVĮffects- traditional audio effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, distortion.Įnvelope Generators - modules that shape CV over timeįilters - audio filters such as lowpass, bandpass, highpass, etc.

Module CategoriesĪll modules are assigned to one of the categories below when programmed. Before we discuss the big Library tab on the left (or right, if you changed it in Settings), we'll take a short detour to discuss module categories. Here we’ll cover the nuts and bolts of working with modules (but unlike a hardware modular synth, no actual nuts or bolts are involved).
