mod wheel & pad uses

Reading the threads on KAOS pad and keyboard 101 got me thinking about uses for the mod wheel and xy. They're really no different from any other knob (assuming they're unsprung) but since they're prominent, they lend themselves to important modulations.

 

Mod Wheel--I use mine for:

-unison width in Pianoteq

-percussion volume in B4

-I'm still fishing in any other VST, usually just the preset

 

Ditto a KAOS or other xy pad:

-cutoff & Q factor in Pianoteq (both effect sustain)

-rotor high & low speeds in B4 (I use my sustain pedal to switch between speeds)

-if I were to bother, I'd probably map the xy to filter pitch and resonance for most synths but I don't really know

I made a couple of mixes on the Fusion this weekend that are set up to play one patch if the mod wheel is "up", and another of the mod wheel is "down" - that way I don't have to split the keyboard. Useful in performance.

 

Credit goes to one of Deweak's Youtube videos for the idea.
