This chapter has introduced you to a few basic examples to show what REAPER’s parameter modulation is and how it can be used. Here are some other points to keep in mind:
- With parameter modulation, the signal from any track can be used to control parameters on any other. For example, the signal from an audio track can be used to control parameters on a synthesizer, and a synthesizer’s output can be used to control signals on an audio track.
- If you are familiar with working with synthesizers and low frequency oscillators you may have developed an understanding of different types of waveforms such as sine, square and triangle. You can use these LFO shapes in your parameter modulation. The opportunities here can take you well beyond the introductory example used earlier in this section.
- Other applications for parameter modulation are limited only by your needs, your creativity and your imagination. For example, with this technique you are able to use the audio signal from one track (or group of tracks) to control specific parameters on a noise gate on another track (or tracks).

Tip: Your parameter modulation windows and their settings will automatically be saved with any FX chains and/ or track templates that you create.
