r3 key tracking and timbre question

[avantgardening]

i'm experimenting with making drone-like organic sounds, such as from an organ or horn. i'm not aiming for emulation, but rather something that sounds organic and imperfect that can manipulated by more than the pitch shift and modulation knob.

is it possible to turn off key tracking for the r3? it seems like i can just use key tracking for modulating the filters or the amp, and it doesn't seem like it's possible for me to do so via patching. my goal is to have the r3 play the same note regardless of what key is pressed, and if possible, have it playing a note continuously via arpeggiator.

also, i want to be able to play my patch on one timbre, and have the other timbre via keyboard tracking modulating the former, so that when i'm playing notes on the lower end of the keyboard, the upper keys will modulate the sound (such as cutoff, LFO freq, and so on). so far it seems like whatever patches i have for the second timbre (the silent one modulating the first) can only modulate itself.

anyone have suggestions for resolving this? i apologize if i'm not using the correct terminology. feel free to correct me

Put the Arp type on Trigger with the Gate time all the way up for a continuously sustained note. Patch keytracking into Pitch with an intensity of -48 to disable pitch on the keyboard. An intensity of -63 reverses the pitch tracking. Remember that an intensity of 48 means one octave and 63 means two. So if you're patching an envelope into pitch with sustain all the way up, an intensity of +48 will modulate the pitch up one octave when you press a key.
