Pitch wheel or Mod wheel directlly to filter

[franklinstower]

Is there a way to route control over the filter to either the Pitch wheel or the MOD wheel for controlling the filter while playing? I cant seem to figure out a way to do it.

Hi,

Not sure if you're asking about the Sub37, as this forum is shared with the little/slim phatty and sub phatty synths too.

With the Sub37, you can control the filter with the modulation wheel if you use one of the modulation busses. Instead of using one of the regular LFO shapes, you can set the source to PGM and then use a constant value. For this you need to press the controllers button to open the menu and then navigate to the MOD1 EDIT (or MOD2 EDIT if using the second bus). Inside the MOD EDIT option there's the PGM SRC parameter, that has to be set to CONST ON (many more interesting options there too, like using a sine wave or noise for the LFO). Then make sure MOD WHEEL has a non zero value assigned to control the bus (by default it's 50% for bus 1, something I still forget so many times).

Don't think the pitch wheel can be assigned to anything different than pitch. Also if you don't want to lose one of the modulation busses, there's always the option of reaching the filter knob while playing. Somehow I'm so used to not knobby synths that I try alway to use the modulation wheel too!

Ok so I am using the sub 37. I don't have it in front of me but with the paragraph in red why would that go to the filter rather than any other parameter? Thanks for the reply by the way.

Success. ^^^^^ Ok I figured it out. Thanks for the help, I know you can use the filter POT itself but a actually play bass on this thing and I only use my right hand and I have the bass end of the keyboard on my lap and the rest of the keyboard oriented away from me and on a downward angle setting on the floor or my lap if I happen to be in a chair, so its way easier for me to use the mod wheel than to reach across the synth with my left hand and use that knob. Especially since I get into such a mellow place while playing that I'm half asleep and don't want to move much at all.

We need a picture of that arrengment!!!
