Modulators
Every dial can move. Four built-in modulators with hand-drawn curves can drive almost any control, in time with your song or triggered by the audio itself.
Two kinds of automation
Pyrosphere's modulators
Live inside the plugin and are saved with presets. The dial you set stays where you put it, and a ring shows where modulation is taking it. Your DAW's automation lanes are never touched.
DAW automation
Every Pyrosphere control is exactly one automatable parameter. Record or draw lanes in your DAW as you would for any plugin. Both kinds can run together.
Assign a dial
- Right-click any knob, the Drive curve, or the Comp or Gate fader.
- Choose Automate with Mod 1 (or 2, 3 or 4). The Automation panel opens on that slot.
- Set the depth in the slot's Destinations list. New assignments start at 50%, one-directional.
- Press play. The dial's ring shows the movement.
The same menu has Remove Automation, Open Automation and Reset To Default. You can also open the panel any time with the Automation button in the header.
