Pitch Modulation with aftertouch- but how?

Post by taschenmusikant » Thu Jul 12, 2007 12:42 pm

Does anyone know if there is a setting to trigger the pitch modulation with the aftertouch without wasting the two modulation busses? I haven´t found out yet.

Why don't you just pot map aftertouch to the pitch wheel?

Thats just pitch shifting.
Not the same than LFO Pitch Modulation.

Can you explain exactly what you want to do?

Do you mean "Pulse Width Modulation"?

I think you want aftertouch to control the pitch modulation depth. Correct?

If so - There's a way to set this up - Setup an initialized patch. Then set the Pedal/On Mod Buss Source to triangle, Destination to Pitch, Shaping to ON, and set the amount for the MAXIMUM vibrato you'd want.

Then - go to EDIT menu and find the item Pot Mapping - You can route control signals with this function you'll want to set up the Source of one pot map to be Afterpressure, and the destination to be MOD1. The amount gets set to 100%. Direction would be normal.

Now you have a patch where the afterpressure is the performance controller
for the pedal/on mod buss.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your help.
Your suggestion is working fine but for controlling the pitch modulation with aftertouch I could easily turn "Shaping" on the MOD Bus to "Pressure".

Actually I want the possiblity to have 3 Modulations in one Preset:
1. LFO >Filter Modulation controlled by the mod wheel
2. LFO-Pitch modulation controlled by aftertouch
3. LFO > PWM Modulation controlled by velocity

Do you think it´s possible without additional equipment?

That goes beyond the hardware capabilities of the Voyager - the first two could be done easily but the 3rd would require an additional Mod Buss...
That's a very cool patch you describe...
