Every day is a schoolday, very useful….

Modifier was something I didn't even know existed. So glad to have discovered this thanks to your video! :)

Thanks man, useful info very excellently demoed. Call me weird you may, I like that patch with the vibrato cranked.

Lol I can kinda see that working in some situations. The weird thing about FM8 in particular is that it’s the only synth I know, where the higher you play, the faster the vibrato is. Very strange thing.

this tool is super super useful. It’s incredible for drawing in filter, morph, curves and all kinds of crazy things, because all you need to do is continue to add an instance of the modifier in order to make those things happen and stack. It’s a great timesaver.

I think the default velocity to mod wheel setting is for all of those libraries that use mod wheel for velocity layers. Think orchestral libraries. If you're used to velocity giving you volume control, but the library doesn't respond to velocity, but rather requires you to move the mod wheel to control the volume (and usually timbre because it crossfades to samples recorded at higher volumes of playing), you can use the modifier to be able to control your volume by your velocity instead of the mod wheel. (This allows you to play with both hands, for example, or on a controller that doesn't have a mod wheel)

That… Makes a lot of sense, even if it’s crazy because now, if you play a chord, and then hit another note particularly hard, the rest of your notes will also jump up in volume like crazy, or go down if you play soft etc. I get it, but not sure I’d ever personally use it like that, unless it was for some weird avant-guard music or some such.

@@TheOnjLouis yep. I find it pretty useless. But thanks to you pointing out this tool, I was able to use it this weekend in a live Mainstage setup, redirecting after pressure to the mod wheel so I could add vibrato to a patch by just pressing down on the key and not needing to reach for the mod wheel! So thank you!

Great, thanks!!

I wonder if there is some sort of way to modify when logic Pro thinks the sustain pedal has been pushed down. I have a keyboard which supports partial paddling, so as soon as I touch the pedal a little bit, all notes are sustained. Sometimes when I release the pedal, logic pro still thinks Notes should be sustained. Do you know how to fix this?

It’s likely that your pedal is still sending CC messages and they haven’t settled at 0, meaning that some sustain is still being applied. You can check this by looking in the MIDI event list. You can use the MIDI modifier (how timely) to change the scale of your pedal so that it’s not quite so reactive perhaps, or maybe there’s a switch somewhere on the pedal itself to switch it out of half-pedal mode. A few options for you, hope one of these will work.

Yeah I’ll see what it shows. My keyboard is a Yamaha DGX 670 which someone got for me. I don’t really use the arranger functions that much, just as a midi controller for logic. I’ll mess around with it and see what I can come up with.
