For Musicians Synthesizer Voice Architecture |

Like all wavetable synthesizers, Beatnik Instruments are created by combining one or more samples, spread across the keyboard. A large number of built-in Samples are provided, and you can also add your own. Samples are played through a resonant Comb Filter, a Volume Envelope, and a Pan control into Beatnik's internal mixer.
Modulation
Up to five modulators per voice are also available - and they're really flexible. Each modulator has two sources: an LFO (low-frequency oscillator) and an envelope. You can pick just the LFO or just the envelope, or use both with the envelope acting as an LFO depth control. You can set the LFO shape and frequency, and you can edit the envelope.
Each modulator can send to any one destination: the Instrument's Volume, Pitch, Pan, or any of three Filter parameters. Each of these destinations can receive from any combination of the five modulators, which gives you room to create extremely complex modulation effects if that's what you want to do.
