Softening dual change in movement (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

modulation

'softening' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'dual change in movement' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'movement' becomes 'motion' (synonyms).
'dual' anagrammed gives 'dula'.
'dula' going within 'motion' is 'MODULATION'.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
