hi there
is there a way I can assign the mod wheel to different parameters other than the LFO2 and cutoff?

I read the manual and tried all the menus, but I can't seem to find any option to change the routing

thanks
Federico

You use virtual patches. Virtual patch allows you to assign any modulation source to any destination.

By default in an init patch the mod wheel controls Vibrato through the Vibrato Intensity parameter.

it is like having a hardwired virtual patch where LFO2 is routed to pitch, and the intensity is set by the modwheel up to a maximum amount set by the Vibrato Int parameter.

you can do other things in addition to this by routing for example modwheel to LFO2 rate (I like doing this with an intensity of -10 - so the modulation gets slower at higher modwheel settings), or to cutoff, pan, osc2 pitch, anything!

Obviously setting the vibrato int setting to zero will stop the vibrato but anything set in virtual patch still works. so programs where cutoff is used, will have one of the four virtual patch slots set to source: mod wheel, destination: cutoff, intensity: x

you could change that destination to any of the other parameters to see modwheel affect something else.

The intensity is how far the parameter is varied by the patching. For example routing modwheel to cutoff with a intensity of 10 would mean that the cutoff would be about 10 higher than that set in the filter settings when the mod wheel is at full.

I had a microKorg, they are virtually the same but I guess it must be MIDI 1 or 2.
If it is not mentioned in the manual I guess the best thing to do would be to try it - route a virtual patch to pitch or cutoff or something else fairly obvious and play with it whilst changing the modulation sources.

and yes, as I said the Vibrato Int is like its own hardwired virtual patch. you can route as many sources and destinations to the same thing in virtual patch. if you don't want vibrato on the mod wheel set the vibrato int to zero.

Page 36 in the manual:

i think i found it

it normally is midi2

so i guess i don't understand what midi 1 is for.....

are the parameters I can assign to the modwheel limited to those 5 or 6 listed in the patches destination?
thanks!

Late the the fray here, but yeah, confirmed that MIDI2 in the virtual patch controls the second modwheel (on the right) and you may adjust its destination/target to one of eight different settings.

Pitch
OSC2 Pitch
OSC1 Control 1
Noise Level
Cutoff
Amp
Pan
LFO2 Frequency

Thanks for the hints X! Smile
