MOD VIEW
Touch the MOD button in the Toolbar to access the 10 Modulation Slots. Each MOD slot allows for a modulation source to be routed and for controllers to be configured to adjust the depth of modulations.
MODULATION SLOTS
ENABLE/SOLO MOD
When ENABLE is selected, the MOD routing will be applied to the Destination.
When SOLO is selected, only the soloed Mod routings will be applied to the Destinations. Multiple Mod Slots can be soloed simultaneously.
TIP: ENABLED is saved with your preset while SOLO is temporary and not saved with your preset, using both makes it very convenient to dial in a specific modulation without being distracted by others
SOURCE
The SOURCE is a signal that changes over time that is used to create mild to extreme modulation. Touch the SOURCE MENU to select a source.
OFF: (A source is not necessary). You can use the CONTROL to manipulate a destination, but a positive or negative value must be applied to the Controller AMOUNT.
LFO 1: Applies LFO 1 to the DESTINATION.
LFO 2: Applies LFO 2 to the DESTINATION.
LFO 3: Applies LFO 3 to the DESTINATION.
AMP ENV: Applies the AMP ENVELOPE to the DESTINATION.
FILTER ENV: Applies the FILTER ENVELOPE to the DESTINATION.
MOD ENV: Applies the MODULATION ENVELOPE to the DESTINATION.
ORB POS X: Applies modulation according to a voice’s X position in the Wave Cube.
ORB POS Y: Applies modulation according to a voice’s Y position in the Wave Cube.
ORB POS Z: Applies modulation according to a voice’s Z position in the Wave Cube.
KEYED RND: Applies a random value to the DESTINATION that changes when a new key is played.
SOURCE AMOUNT
The AMOUNT control scales the maximum amount of modulation sent from the SOURCE to the CONTROL or DESTINATION. The AMOUNT knob is bipolar and can be used to scale or invert the selected source’s modulation amount. A positive or negative value must be assigned or nothing will occur.
NOTE: Double tapping the Amount Knob returns it to 0.
CONTROL
Control scales and adjusts the level of a SOURCE before using it to modulate a DESTINATION, similar to a volume control.
Touch the CONTROL menu to select a controller.
Adjust the AMOUNT knob to scale (positive) or invert (negative) the Control. A setting of “0” means no scaling or inversion will occur.
CONTROL AMOUNT
If the SOURCE is set to OFF, the selected CONTROL is scaled by the CONTROL AMOUNT knobs and routed to the DESTINATION. If a SOURCE has been selected, the SOURCE AMOUNT sets the initial modulation amount, and the CONTROL AMOUNT scales the minimum to maximum modulation sent to a DESTINATION.
NOTE: If you simply want to send a Modulation Source to a Destination with no Control, select Off from the CONTROL menu.
OFF: (A control is not necessary). The SOURCE will directly influence the DESTINATION without being changed by a CONTROL.
PRESSURE: The vertical position of your finger on an Animoog Z key while you're playing, or an incoming MIDI Channel Pressure or Poly Pressure message.
VELOCITY: The initial vertical position of your finger on an Animoog Z key, or the velocity value of an incoming MIDI Note On message.
KEY-PITCH: The pitch value of the voice.
MOD-WHEEL: The global Mod Wheel control to the left of the keyboard, or an incoming MIDI CC#1 message if it wasn't assigned to another control.
PITCH-BEND: The global Pitch Wheel control to the left of the keyboard, or an incoming MIDI Pitch Bend message.
ACCEL-X: The X axis of your iOS device's real-time accelerometer, this allows an iOS device to influence the sound of your preset while physically moving it around.
ACCEL-Y: The Y axis of your iOS device's real-time accelerometer.
ACCEL-Z: The Z axis of your iOS device's real-time accelerometer.
PENCIL-ANGLE: The angle at which an Apple Pencil is held when using it to play the Animoog Z keyboard.
DESTINATION
The DESTINATION menu allows you to select a modulation's final DESTINATION. Once selected, your SOURCE and CONTROL will dynamically affect and control the assigned DESTINATION parameter.
Animoog Z presents a lot of DESTINATION options, for convenience they have been organized in two menus. The first one selects the category of the DESTINATION and the second one selects a specific parameter within that category.

GLOBAL DESTINATIONS
Most Destinations control sound parameters that are specific for a single voice.
Some Destinations in the THICK and DELAY categories are Global Destinations that apply to all the voices. When such a Destination is selection, a new PRIORITY options appears.
The PRIORITY selects which single voice will be selected to provide the SOURCE and/or CONTROL that influences the Global Destination when multiple voices are playing.
OLDEST: The voice that has been playing for the longest amount of time.
NEWEST: The voice that has been playing for the shortest amount of time.
HIGHEST: The voice that has the most SOURCE and CONTROL influence on the DESTINATION.
LOWEST: The voice that has the least SOURCE and CONTROL influence on the DESTINATION.
MOD INDICATORS
A parameter that has been selected as a Mod Destination will show an additional pale green circle around its knob, along with a green “M” to the right of the parameter name.
The bright green indicator within this circle indicates the current parameter value based on the modulation that is being applied to that parameter. Clicking the green “M” will switch the view to the MOD page and temporarily show a bright green borders around the Mod Slots affecting that parameter.
Mod Indicators are representative of current Enable/Solo settings.
CLEAR MODULATIONS
Sometimes it's helpful to be able to quickly clear all modulations and reset all sources, controllers, destinations and parameters to default values.
When scrolling to the bottom of the MOD panel, you'll notice a CLEAR MODULATIONS button.
Pressing this button will clear all modulations.
