Modulation Matrix 
71Resonance Offset
Modulates the resonance offset of the second filter in Dual Filter Serial or Dual
Filter Parallel mode. For example, to lower or raise the resonance of the second
filter while you play, assign the modulation wheel.
Level
This modulation adds to the level setting. It can be used to create level offsets
using the mod wheel, for example.
Volume 1
Modulates the gain. The volume modulation multiplies with the level.
This modulation is ideal for crossfades...

72Osc 1/2/3 Multi Detune
Modulates the Detune parameter of the individual oscillator voices that are
produced by multi-oscillator mode.
Osc 1/2/3 Multi Pan
Modulates the pan position of the individual oscillator voices that are produced by
multi-oscillator mode.
Osc 1/2/3 Multi Voices
Modulates the number of oscillator voices that are produced by multi-oscillator
mode.
Sub Osc Level
Modulates the level of the sub oscillator. For example, to fade in the oscillator
while...

73Amp Env Decay Time
Modulates the decay time of the amplitude envelope. This modulation destination
cannot be modulated continuously. The time is updated only when the segment
starts.
Amp Env Sustain Level
Modulates the sustain level of the amplitude envelope. This modulation
destination cannot be modulated continuously. The level is updated only when the
segment starts.
Amp Env Release Time
Modulates the release time of the amplitude envelope. This modulation...

75User Env Release Level
Modulates the level of the last user envelope node. This modulation destination
cannot be modulated continuously. The level is updated only when the segment
starts.
Bus 1-16
You can send any modulation to one of the 16 busses, for example, to produce
more complex modulation signals. Select the bus that you want to send the
signals to as a destination. To use the modulation that was sent to a bus, assign
the corresponding bus as a modulation...

FlexPhraser
76The FlexPhraser is an arpeggio and phrase player.
Each program features up to five FlexPhrasers: one for each layer and one for the program.
While the program FlexPhrasers always work with phrases, the functionality of layer
FlexPhrasers changes with the layer type. For synth, sample, instrument, or drum layers, a
FlexPhraser can play back anything from basic synth arpeggios over dynamic drum phrases
to realistic accompaniment phrases for guitar, bass, piano, etc.
You can select from a...

77Loading Phrases
Phrases are sorted into subfolders, according to the type of instrument. Each instrument
subfolder contains phrases of different musical styles.
NOTE
Some FlexPhrases make extensive use of key switches to switch between multiple playing
styles of an instrument while playing. These phrases can be found on the Construction Sets
submenu. They work best with the corresponding instrument layers.

FlexPhraser Parameters 
78NOTE
KSOff filters out any note events that do not transpose with your playing.
Therefore, it is not recommended for the use with drum phrases.
MIDI Record
Allows you to record the MIDI output of the FlexPhraser.
Variation buttons
Allow you to create up to eight variations of your phrase.
Loop
If this option is activated, the phrase plays in a loop.
Sync
Synchronizes the phrase to the tempo of your host application.

•If this is set to Off, the phrase runs continuously and does not restart at
chord or note changes.
•New Chord restarts the phrase on new chords.
NOTE
The phrase does not restart upon notes that are played legato.
•New Note restarts the phrase with each new note that you play.
•Sync to Host aligns the phrase with the beats and measures of your host
application each time that you start the transport.

FlexPhraser Parameters 
80•If Aftertouch is selected, the triggered notes get their velocity from the
aftertouch controller.
•If Poly Pressure is selected, the triggered notes get their velocity from the
poly pressure controller. This allows you to control the velocity per key.
Fetch
If the Vel Controller pop-up menu is set to Aftertouch, Poly Pressure, or a MIDI
controller, the Fetch option can be used to change the way that the notes are
generated.
