2nd keyfollow, where?

The second keyfollow (KeyFol2) allows you to modulate targets using the glide2 offset (relative to glide). It can produce interesting textures when one layer of the sound glides slower than another.
From the manual:
From the manual:
Glide, Glide2
Glide or ‘portamento’ is a smooth pitch transition between consecutive notes. Glide affects the ‘Key Follow’ modulator, so it is directly applied to all modules that include this parameter (OSCs, FMOs, Combs, VCFs and XMFs). Glide2 is a bipolar offset for even-numbered OSCs, FMOs, Combs, VCFs and XMFs. The modulation source ‘KeyFol2’ is the same as KeyFol, but includes Glide2 offset.

Ah, that. Missed it somehow.

i know ive read that too, i read the manual but that sentence didnt tell me what i needed to know...thanks for your help. i didnt understand what he meant by offset...''The modulation source ‘KeyFol2’ is the same as KeyFol, but includes Glide2 offset.
and the actual glide 2....i think i understand it.....ive always thought it offset the amount of glide you had from glide 1.....but then what is the point of it...why not just turn down glide1
so CLEARLY i am missing something on the glide2 also
please? what is GLIDE 2 doing...whenever ive tried uing it, its like one of those knobs that you turn and it seems like its doing nothing....
so those are the times where you know youre not using it right....or theres somethign its connected that you need to adjust also

Not sure how I could have explained it clearly without taking half a page... but 2 walkthroughs might help:
How to use Glide2 for regular glide offsets
----------------------------------------------------
1) Load "initialize"
2) Add OSC2 below OSC1
3) Turn Glide up to 50 and play alternating octaves
4) Now turn Glide2 down a bit / up a bit and listen
around -2.00 or +2.00 gives you a nice "room" effect during the glide
-30 makes oscillator 2 glide much more quickly than oscillator 1
+ 30 makes oscillator 2 glide much more slowly than oscillator 1
How to use KeyFol2 to glide only the Cutoff (for instance)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Load "initialize"
2) Add VCF1 below OSC1, turn Cutoff down to 70 and resonance up to about 25
3) Click on the definable knob next to the regular KeyF knob, select "KeyFol2"
4) Turn up that same knob to maximum and listen
5) Now adjust Glide2 time...
6) Now replace VCF1 with VCF2 and use the regular Keyfollow knob instead of that extra modulation...
Keep experimenting until the penny drops - good luck!
For reference, here's that bit of the manual again:
