I want to do something really basic in ACE but can't seem to figure out how to do it (after reading the manual, btw):
I want to assign the Mod Wheel to Filter 1 (the LPF) cutoff to open up the filter a bit as I play. I do NOT want the Mod Wheel to control the entire range of the filter cutoff - just to "add to" the cutoff value as I increase the Mod Wheel.
What I tried to do is take the output of the Mod Wheel and insert this into one of the Multiples along the bottom. The plan was to use the amount/level control of the Multiple to control the range of the Mod Wheel modulation.
My problem is that there is no input for Filter 1 cutoff that I can see. There is an input for the ADSR amount. But this isn't what I want to control.
Please let me know if I am missing something. Thanks for your help!

There should be two modulation inputs to filter 1. Either one can take a cable straight from ModWheel, and the knob determines how much MW at maximum moves the cutoff. Labels on these knobs are the un-cabled default - ADSR or LFO are just overwritten when a cable is patched in.
Howard's videos on YouTube ( is topical ) and the manual probably explain more fully

Ah, I got it. So what I did was take the outputs of both the Mod Wheel and ADSR 2 and patch these into one of the Multiples. I set the Multiple amount for the ADSR to 100% and the amount for the Mod Wheel to around 25% and then patched the output of the Multiple to the "ADSR" input of the filter. Voila! Works like a charm.xh3rv wrote:There should be two modulation inputs to filter 1. Either one can take a cable straight from ModWheel, and the knob determines how much MW at maximum moves the cutoff.

And you can just patch the modwheel to the input directly if you wish (sorry if that was obvious)Gadget Fiend wrote:Ah, I got it.
