Hi,

Could someone explain how this works in the modulation section please?

It's in the manual. Page 33.

Not sure I understand what you mean...

U-he have their own support forum on KVR by the way...

Keyfollow2 ignores the pitch bend wheel. So, Keyfollow1 is a combination of modulation sources keyfollow and pitchbend.

You can easily test with white noise, high resonance and modulation keyfollow1/2 to cutoff.

One is more authentic, the other more useful.

Thanks for the replies.

I was on page 33 but can someone explain this in a more rudimentary way please, as there's no explanation of 'Key Follow' ?

What is the difference between Key Follow 1 & 2?

I was basically checking out a patch... 'Nightclubbing'... (Iggy Pop,The Idiot?) in the Seq -Percussive section,
and was trying to breakdown how the sound was being made,
that's when I came across 'Key Follow' in the modulation?

Where is that feature? I can't seem to find it

Can't put it more rudimentary than

Likewise, Keyfollow is keyboard tracking + pitch bend added together (like in most synths, I hope).

So it's simply using the 'Keyboard amount' as a modulation source?

Yes, keyfollow is the note-number as modulation source with note E3 beeing the center/anchor note.

Maybe an obvious question... but why is keyboard amount called key follow?

Ah, found it, on the Tweaks page...

(Btw, what I find hard to see is the setting of those three tiny pots in the envelope sections. There is only one dot (the default I suppose), and that on the "scale" rather than on the knob.)

This:

So, you have this feature twice. One is the keyboard amount in the filter section modeled after the vintage hardware and there is the keyfollow in the Performance/Modulation section which was added by u-he (not available on the hardware).

Sometimes even a simple synth is complicated....

fluffy_little_something · Mon Jan 22, 2018 7:03 pm

Oh, there, the little switches on the Tweaks page must be something else, then...

keyboard amount is Sequ.Circuits terminology, keyfollow is u-he terminology.

Repro1... Key Follow 1&2
