Quick polymod question

[dadjokes]

Hi, I don't 100% understand polymod yet on the P6. What's the difference between assigning an amount of Filter Env to say, the LP filter, as opposed to just increasing the Env Amount in the LPF section itself?

In that case there probably isn’t much difference, though presumably if used together it would increase modulation depth further than the filter’s dedicated envelope depth knob alone. There is already a fixed path between filter envelope and the filters. The difference comes when you use polymod to route that filter envelope to other destinations that have no dedicated filter envelope amount knob, such as the pulse width of the oscillators.

Using the filters as destinations in the polymod section will be quite different if you instead use osc2 as the polymod source.

Thanks very much, that makes sense!
