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.
