Modulation?

[Thriday]

can someone explain modulation to me? i've never thought to use it
before so i don't know what it does.

Depends on how you use it..

I am a pianist and I play for a jazz band and when we use the term modulate, it means to change keys, to either go up or down a step

But in this case modulation means how much something is getting affected by a certain effect,  100% or 15%, it varies. For an example if I have a kick bass quarter note sequence and I want the first beat to be the loudest, you would set your modulating volume high, and turn the modulation of your FIRSt kick to 100%  , so that it will be completely affected, and your other beats to lets say 0% so it wont be affected at all.

Hope that helps! Im TopHat btw :D
