This enables secondary modulation, an advanced feature. If you're new to PotterDraw, leave this set to "Property". This setting changes the meaning of both the modulation bar and the oscilloscope, as explained below.
Type | Meaning | Comment |
---|---|---|
Property | Primary modulation | The modulation bar edits the primary modulation, i.e. the LFO that directly modulates the currently selected target property. Similarly, the oscilloscope plots the modulated target property. This is the default setting. Don't change it unless you're an advanced user. |
Any other value | Secondary modulation | The modulation bar edits a secondary modulation, i.e. an LFO that modulates one of the primary modulation's properties. This allows modulation of a modulation, also known as second-order modulation. In this case the oscilloscope plots the secondary modulation instead of the target property, and the name of the affected modulation property is highlighted in red as a reminder. |
