Not quite. Modulation is always relative to the current position of the parameter, unlike automation which is usually writing a specific value. So automation is more like you’re talking about - it’s like automatically moving the as if by hand, which is why there are takeover modes in hosts for that scenario where you tweak it manually and it disables it until you tell it to resume. Modulation on the other hand like I said, is relative from the current position (could be positive or negative or both ways) but moving it always keep the amount of modulation applied, even you move the value to the limit of the range, such as if you have a filter being modulated by a positive lfo which raises the value and then back down quickly, but then you open the filter all the way. The modulation is still applied but you don’t hear a change because the filter is at its max value so the lfo can’t open it anymore. But as soon as you bring the filter back down the lfo is still working. You can move the filter wherever you want and have that lfo still applied based on the current value wherever it is. You’re manual adjustment does not over rule the modulation. Sound design would be kind of a disaster on many synths if this wasn’t the case. Unfortunately in cyphers case tweaking a parameter into the modulated range does cut the modulation range until it can be removed entirely.Dasheesh wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2019 11:48 pm I would like to address this problem gingerly, because I use said software, and the people raising concerns here know what they are talking about for the most part. (here comes the but) but, you assign a modulation amount because the modulation is automated. once you take control of the said modulation... you become the amount correct? you are now manually setting the amount of modulation by hand. I'm not sure how you can automate, and manually set, at the same time. tell me I'm wrong, because I'm not sure what is going on here, and I love to learn.
But again, it sounds like they are aware and it’s on the list. Let’s just hope it doesn’t take too long. For any mono, sequences types sounds, I would probably use Bitwig’s modulation instead so that I can adjust parameters without losing modulation.
