Zebra 2: Modulating parameter full range?

I have some parameters set to full left, but when the modulator is set to full right it only takes the value to zero at the max range instead of modulating it from full left to full right (at least when using the MSEG with a curve peaked at the top of the graph). Is there any way to get to to modulate all the way left to right?

Set the parameter to the middle. Set your modulator full left to go back to zero. Victory!

So I just realized if the parameter is set to 0, an LFO can modulate it left and right full range, because it goes negative and positive. The mseg seems to only go from 0 to positive (from playing with it it seems that way). Is there a way to make the mseg go negative as well?

some modulators are "bipolar" (like the LFO) and some are "unipolar" (like envelopes)
MSEGs can be either negative or positive but not bipolar AFAIK.

You can offset the target parameter. Give us a concrete problem, bitpyro?3ee wrote:some modulators are "bipolar" (like the LFO) and some are "unipolar" (like envelopes)

OK here is what I am talking about. It seemed easiest to just make it one image.

So is there a way to make the MSEG swing full range an not just half way? Like a button to double the range, or something else?

Don't use the mod knob next to Tune knob (the one that initially says '...'). Use the matrix. This sweeps the whole knob range which is exactly what you want.

Yes!
You can set the modulation twice with the help of the mod matrix or.... simply select the ModMixer "MMix" for the tune modulation and set it to max.
MMix: Set it to "sum modulations" mode, select the MSEG within a mod slot there and set the constant to max.

No need for that, 3ee. Just checked with a single mod matrix assignment... Setting Source to MSEG1 and parameter to Osc1 Tune, and setting Source mod amount to 100.00 gives the modulation range of 96 semitones!

Awesome! That's exactly what I wanted. I always only thought of the mod matrix as being able to modulate parameters that didn't have a dedicated modulate knob next to them. Guess I better start learning it more. Thanks!
