The Modulator section is a low-frequency oscillator that generates sub-audio range signals routed to control Filter section Cutoff frequency. Filtomika's Modulator section is similar to the original Polivoks, but we've expanded on the original instrument in a couple of useful ways, including multiple modulation waveforms and tempo sync.
Sync- When the Sync switch is enabled, Modulator speed will lock to host tempo when using Atomika within DAW software, or to the current tempo in the top menu bar when using the standalone version.
Speed- The Speed knob sets the Modulator speed, from 0.01 to 20 Hz (with Sync switch off) or from 8 beats up to 1/64th note triplets (Sync switch on). The LED above the Speed slider flashes at the current modulation rate.
Waveform- Selects the repeating pattern of the Modulator. Available waveforms are ramp, sawtooth, triangle, square, noise, and random (aka, sample & hold).
Amount- Sets how much the Modulator signal affects Filter Cutoff frequency.
