ModPadis a performance oriented touchpad controlled modulation source after the vintage Ocatve Electronics CATSTICK hardware controller.
With its touchpad, two LFOs, four internal VCAs and four CV sources, you can achieve a different modulation type and/or depth for touchpad gestures in each direction; right, left, up, and down. Each touchpad direction has a separate Control Voltage and VCA section with "knob per function" controls in each section.
The selection of outputs provides a variety of direct, mixed and/or modulated control voltages for use with other modules in your rack:
- Individual CV outputs for each touchpad direction and both axis.
- Each VCA has separate input and output jacks and can be used internally or as a freestanding VCA.
- X and Y outputs that sum the respective axis and VCA outputs.
- A summed output that include both X and Y values.
- Inverted X, Y, and XY outputs.
The summed outputs are clipped to +/- 7.5V.
The touchpad can be expanded to a larger size for more precise control, and auto-centering (on mouse release) can be toggled on and off.
X and Y position knobs, suitable for use with Cherry Audio's Remote Control module can be displayed using a menu accessible by right clicking on the Black Cloud Industries logo. These knobs remain active (to Remote Control) even when not visible, but are ignored if auto-centering is enabled.
