Title: I'm looking for a way to let pressure control the paraphonic volumes
Post by: angstrom on January 05, 2020, 02:21:53 am
Hi all.
So - what I want is for each finger to have pressure control over the volume of that assigned voice.
I've not found any other way of doing this. All other attenuation methods are after the paraphonic summing. What per-finger amplitudes would require is a matrix map of the Pressure to a Wave Timbre of quiet to loud.
For example:  wavetable oscillator to have a (new) table which was a saw wave going from -inf to 0db. (silent to full volume).
 That way I could map Pressure on the matrix to Timbre and that would be a per-finger amplitude.

Is there a way around this currently, or am I dreaming here. It seems a shame to have the poly-pressure and not be able to fade notes in!

Assign pressure to env sustain and dial sustain knob to 0

(remember the env is polyphonic as well.... ) :)

Thanks, that's a good workaround.  I'm getting intial clicks from the envelopes firing but I guess I can work with it.

Play a bit with attack and release :)

It's a pity there is no way to control overall patch volume via the matrix. There are a lot of nice things one can do with such a settings. For example, you can create a fake delay by chopping decay with a square LFO.

Agreed, we should be able to use one of the three custom routing options to set volume. Just touch the volume knob to assign.

Is the cycling envelope polyphonic? If it is then you could set attack and sustain to zero and then assign the cycling envelope in Env mode to sustain, this makes the cycling envelope your main amplitude envelope. After this map pressure to the amount knob of the cycling envelope.
