Definition: Modulation |
ModulationNoun1. A musical passage moving from one key to another. 2. (electronics) the transmission of a signal by imposing it on a carrier wave by changing the carrier's amplitude or frequency or phase. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
Date "modulation" was first used: sometime in the late 14th century. (references) |
Etymology: Modulation \Mod`u*la"tion\, noun. [Latin expression modulatio: compare to the French expression modulation.]. (Websters 1913) |
| Domain | Definitions |
Aerospace | 1. The variation in the value of some parameter characterizing a periodic oscillation. 2. Specifically, variation of some characteristic of a radio wave, called the carrier wave, in accordance with instantaneous values of another wave, called the modulating wave.Variation of amplitude is amplitude modulation, variation of frequency is frequency modulation, and variation of phase is phase modulation. The formation of very short bursts of a carrier wave, separated by relatively long periods during which no carrier wave is transmitted, is pulse modulation. (references) |

Geological | The process by which some characteristics of one carrier wave are varied in relation to another wave or signal. (references) |
Post & Telecom | Variation in time of one or more given characteristics of an electromagnetic wave or of a direct current, brought about directly i. e. in facsimile telegraphy, or by means of an appropriate code, i. e. in alphabetic telegraphy, according to the contents of the document to be transmitted.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In music, the term "modulation" means a key change. This article is about the concept of signal modulation in communications engineering.
Modulation describes a range of techniques for encoding information on a carrier signal, typically a sine-wave signal. A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator.
Modulation techniques include:
Pulse modulation techniques include:
Where Morse code is used to turn the carrier wave on and off, the term used is not 'amplitude keying', but 'continuous wave' (CW) operation.
Modulation is frequently used in conjunction with various channel access methods.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In music, modulation is the process of changing from one key to another. This may or may not be accompanied by a change in key signature.
Modulation is usually brought about by using certain chordss, which are made up of notes common to both the old key and the new one; such chords are known as "pivot chords". The change is solidified by a cadence in the new key.
It is easier to modulate to some keys than others, because certain keys have more notes in common with each other than others, and therefore more possible pivot chords. Modulation to the dominant (a fifth above the original key) or the subdominant (a fourth above) is relatively easy, as are modulations to the relative major of a minor key (for example, from C minor to E flat major) or to the relative minor of a major key (for example, from C major to A minor). These are the most common modulations, although more complex changes are also possible.
Another common form of modulation is using the cycle of fifths:
C - G - D - A - E - B - F# - C# - G# - D# - A# (B flat) - F - C
In certain classical music forms, a modulation can have structural significance. In sonata form, for example, a modulation divides the first subject from the second subject.
A sequence, which is the repitition of a short passage at different pitches, may involve modulation, but usually does not. In cases where the key is changed, the sequence is sometimes called a rosalia.
The term "truck driver's gear change" has been used by Siegfried Baboon [1] to describe the stereotyped use of key changes in popular music, where the whole melody is simply transposed up by an interval to provide an "emotionally uplifting" finale.
Compare with: bitonality and polytonality.
