Apparently I’m not as smart as I thought I was, and I have NO idea how to set the mod wheel as my filter cutoff for my preset. I thought I’d find it under the “controller” menu but I guess I don’t really understand it.
Help!
I should say I have figured out how to assign mod whl, but filt res isn’t having any effect on my preset, and filt cutoff doesn’t seem to be a destination… The only reason I realised I had it mapped properly was when I accidentally slipped to filter slope and that started audibly changing the slope…
I have the cutoff fully open in this preset and the resonance is at about a quarter, so I’d expect atleast pointing the mod wheel to filter resonance should show an audible change??
I take MOD 1/2,
in CONTROLLERS menu:
MOD WHEEL set at +100% and
PGM SRC at CONST ON,
VELOCITY at OFF,
AFTERTOUCH at OFF,
CTRL4 AMT OFF,
in the MOD 1/2 panel:
MOD 1/2 SOURCE on F.EG/PGM,
FILTER AMT knob at +5,
in FILTER panel:
FILTER CUTOFF knob at 20Hz
On top, LFO rate and MOD source are obvious, except F.EG/PGM that add a bunch of other options, such as envelopes, sine and so on.
Let us pass on the three buttons,
then bellow are the ‘3’ destinations where the Modulation can be applied:
PITCH AMT, to the pitch of the OSC 1, 2 or both,
FILTER AMT, to the FILTER CUTOFF,
and to a third destination that can be set easily to one of the six options around the MOD 1/2 DEST push button.
Again here, EG TIME/PGM opens up the destiantions possible through the CONTROLLERS push button menu.
In the next firmware, one can patch that destination by holding down the MOD DEST push button and rotating a knob or pushing another button. The EG TIME/PGM LED then is lit, letting you know you patched that MOD destination to that parameter. Don’t forget to turn up or down the MOD2 AMT in order to indeed modulate that newly set destination.
The reason that Filter Cutoff is not a Programmable Destination (DEST = PGM) is because there is a permanently assigned knob (in both MOD 1 and MOD 2) that always connects the MOD’s output to Filter Cutoff. The knob is called FILTER AMT.
So… as Greg had suggested: Set your MOD’s SOURCE knob to PGM, and then go into that MOD’s CONTROLLERS page and set PGM SRC: to CONST ON (Constant ON).
Go to MOD WHL: and (for now) set the value to 100%. Set all other controls on that page to 0% (for now).
Pull Mod Wheel all the way down.
Set the actual FILTER CUTOFF knob (in the FILTER section) where you normally want it when Mod Wheel is down.
Push the Mod Wheel all the way up.
Now use the bi-polar FILTER AMT knob to choose where you want the Filter Cutoff to be when the Mod Wheel is all the way up. (Left of center will make the Filter Cutoff close, right of center will make the Filter Cutoff open.)
These settings may all need to be tweaked if you change any values in the MOD (1 or 2) EDIT page.
