one modulation source - multiple targets?

hi,

is it possible to control multiple targets (e. g. filter 1 cutoff, filter 2 cutoff) with one modulation source (e. g. mod wheel) at the same time?
when i try to assign the mod wheel via midi learn to one target and then to another one, the first one seems to be unassigned. only the actual target responds.

Well, Midilearn is implemented so it only controls a single parameter at a time.

You can control multiple parameters with the XY controls though (up to 8 parameters per axis, 64 parameters in total) and assign the ModWheel on one of these.

If possible I'd go with normal modulation slots and ModMatrix though. Some hosts tend to reset controlers such as ModWheel on playback start, thereby changing all those MidiLearned modulations - which can frag a whole patch...

I'm working on better designs though, but it's hard to take all variables into account for a solution that makes everyone happy...

You don't want to use midilearn for that. Instead, assign the mod source (let's use mod wheel) and "direct route" it to the filter cutoffs. See this page in the manual:

So, find one of those smaller modulator knobs next to the filter cutoff and resonance knobs, right click, and choose "Modwhl". You then need to move the knob to assign the amount of the mod wheel to apply. I assume you'll want a positive value -- move it to the max so you can see how it works, and the adjust to taste from there.

Shoulda known Urs would beat me to it....

thank you very much for your quick response. the mod matrix is the clue for me. i should have tried this sooner.
