Oh, yeah, cool. I knew that the Pro2 had a DC offset source, but I did not realize that it was added to the Rev2. There you go, then!
Update, I've kind of managed to get where I need to be. It appears that stacking the same note tracked modulation does decrease the range so long as you offset the initial start point with the DC. For example.
I can stack 3 note number modulations for 127 noise AMT and get a 3 octave range from 0 noise to full noise. To get to no noise, however, you have to transpose down to the lowest option as it seems the note range likes to start from there.
To circumvent this, I use the DC to actually set the noise value into the negative which seems to shift the start point up higher.
If anyone can elaborate on these ideas I'd appreciate it as the grasp on this I do have is very limited. Although its been super fun approaching this almost scientifically and just doing experiments to test the tools I have available to me on the synth.
The goal here is still to make a drum kit with at kick/snare/hats in one patch (just like this vid
) the extended ranged of the REV2's default note number spread makes it tough since I use up a lot of modulations just getting the keyboard range I want.
I'd also like to use that same note number modulation for other things like decay, high pass, resonance, all kinds of stuff. so that makes it tough when each modulation needs to be multiplied by 4.
I have another idea I need to try soon. The Rev2 has alternate tunings and supports adding your own. I'm not sure where the note number for the modulation source is detected from, but I have a feeling its the actual midi note number. So basically if I make a new "tuning" for the REV2 that spans 5 octaves in the space of 1 or two octaves, I might just be able to achieve the effect I am looking for without wasting precious modulations! (Now if only you could save tuning on a patch by patch basis. )
I'm still new to synths but this kind of power and environment for problem solving is what attracted me to the REV2 from the start.
Edit: I realized making a new sysex tuning file wasn't as straight forward as I thought. If anyone is familiar with this and wouldn't mind lending me a hand, let me know.
