Nice track - I enjoyed it more than usual. Has a good vibe - kind
of 'air liquide'ish.

Regarding the modulation on the bass sound, there are two
things you can check out:

1st, it might just be the setting for the VariEffect - check whether
the Flanger or Phaser is assigned and if so, reduce the D:W mix
(or you simply use the EF Bypass button to quickly disable the FX
using the 'All EF' option.) Also, you can adjust the Mod Freq:Hz for
each of those two FX using a real time mod source such as a
Mod Wheel or the Ribbon Controller.

2nd, it's more likely a slight fliter modulation using LFO1. Under
Knob Parameter Group, select MIX/VCF->FmodDepth (Knob 7) If
the amount is greater than '0' reduce the depth to your taste.

Any time you think you've an unwanted modulation, b-line for the
"Xmod Depth" options and reduce the amount - you'll find the
Pitch Mod Depth options (Pmod Depth) under the VOC1 and
VCO2 menus along with Pulse Width Depth (PWM Depth), the
Filter Mod (Fmod Depth) under MIX/VCF, and the Amplitude Mod
(Amod Depth) under VCA. LFO1 is hard wired to each with the
exception of PWM Source which is variable. Adjust the LFO1
speed to increase/reduce the rate of modulation.

Make sense? Good.

Jon
