4 independent key follows: apply a continuous change of a modulation parameter in relation to the scale of the keyboard (tune the oscillators for example).
The pitch bend and modulation dials: add a modulation to the parameter(s) connected to its source.
The portamento (“Glide”): adds a frequency smoothing (portamento) between 2 notes.
The velocity: adds a modulation to the parameters, which are affected by the force with which the key is played on the MIDI keyboard.
Aftertouch: adds a modulation to the parameters connected to its source by a variation in the force used on the keys of the MIDI keyboard.
You can continue the experience with one of the four key follow outputs. There are two means of connecting a key follow modulation:
The simplest and fastest is the automatic connection through the LCD displays situated on the “drivers” oscillators and on the 3 filters. This method produces a perfect pitch for all the scale of the keyboard.
A cable connection gives you the possibility to have finer but more complex settings. We recommend this type of modulation for non “tuned” parameters, like an impulse width modulation (“PWM”) on the “driver” oscillators, or simply the volume of a VCA.
The key follow settings
5.5.3The play modes
The play modes provide a choice between the different manners of playing the MIDI keyboard. These different settings are situated underneath the pitch bend settings.
The play mode parameters
The “mono/unison/poly” switch lets you choose: a monophonic playing mode (a single note played at a time, chords cannot be produced in this mode. This mode corresponds to the mode used in the original Moog Modular), a polyphonic mode (several notes can be played at the same time to form a chord). The maximum number of voices is displayed in the corresponding window. The unison mode is identical to the monophonic, but there are as many voices played at the same time as the polyphonic voices.
The “legato” button, active when the synthesizer is in monophonic mode, allows the activation of the portamento – or “glide” in English – freely on all of the notes when it is active. If you wish to only use portamento on notes that are linked, deactivate the legato mode.
