Project EX wrote: Tutorial: Using combinator’s programmer

Let’s say you have 3 subtractors in a combinator, playing the same pattern/melody/wobble and you want to assign multiple parameters of these synths to a single rotary knob on the combinator. For example, you want the LFO speed of all three subtractors under rotary 1.

Press the ‘open programmer’-button on the front of the combinatory. A blue screen will unfold like this.



On the right hand side you see the modulating routing. In this window you can set the source, the target and the min & max values. On the left hand side you’ll see all the devices within the combinator. Each device has it’s modulation routing window, which can be accessed by clicking on the device on the left side of the programmer.

In our case we want to assign the LFO speed of all three subtractors to rotary 1, rotary 1 being the source. Click on the first subtractor, now assign the target in the modulation routing window by clicking on the empty slot. In the drop down menu go to. LFO -> LFO 1 rate. Now do this for the other 2 subtractors. Now when you turn rotary 1 you’ll see that the LFO 1 rate knobs of all 3 subtractors are also turning.

The min & max rates in the modulation routing will automatically will be set to 0 and 127. This means when the rotary is all the way down, the controlled parameter will be at it’s minimum rate, which in this case is 0. And vice versa for the max rate.

This is just a basis explanation of the programmer, as you can tell there are many, many modulation possibilities by assigning different parameters, even on the same device, to single rotary which will give you some nice results when automated. Try experimenting with different assignment!
