Pot Mapping is a very powerful addition to the Voyager XL front panel controls, as it creates the ability
to route controls to more than one destination. A simple use is for dynamically controlling Volume
with the Keyboard’s Note On Velocity, a common modulation in modern synthesizers. Here are a few
more suggested mappings:
1. Keyboard Scaling: This map will adjust the Volume Decay envelope so that higher notes will
decay quicker than lower notes. Useful with percussive patches to imitate the characteristic of
string instruments.
Src: Key Pitch
Dest: Vol Decay
Direction: Invert
Amount: 50%
2. Dynamic Filter Control: This map will program the Voyager Filter Cutoff to respond to your
touch. The harder you hit the keyboard, the brighter the sound. For maximum expressiveness,
combine this map with the dynamic Volume Control map suggestion above.
Src: Veloc. Att.
Dest: Fil Cutoff
Direction: Normal
Amount: 25, 50 or 100% (set to taste)
3. Filter Cutoff with Pitch Bend: To provide more emphasis on solos, use this mapping to boost
the Filter Cutoff when the Pitch Bend wheel is increased.
Src: Pitch Bend
Dest: Fil Cutoff
Direction: Normal
Amount: 25%
Alternate suggestion: Try the Filter Cutoff mapping above with Pitch Bend set to
OFF so that the Pitch Wheel has no effect on pitch. Now pull the Pitch Bend
wheel all the way back and release it. The wheel will spring forward, overshooting
the center, causing the filter to ‘bounce’. Funky and fun!
6.1 MIDI CLOCK DIVIDER
When the LFO SYNC switch is set to MIDI, a MIDI Clock signal will
retrigger the start of the LFO cycle. MIDI clock can also be used to trigger
envelopes (see Edit Mode items 4.3 & 4.4 – Filter and Volume Envelope
Gate Sources). The MIDI CLOCK DIVIDER function creates a new clock
signal based on the incoming MIDI clock. The divider has 96 values, with
48 divisions per beat. Using the clock divider values shown below, you can
create specific rhythms:
96 = half note = 2 beats of the MIDI Clock signal
72 = dotted quarter note = 11⁄2 beats of the MIDI Clock signal
48 = quarter note = 1 beat of the MIDI Clock signal
36 = dotted eighth note = 3⁄4 of a beat of the MIDI Clock signal
24 = eighth note = 1⁄2 of a beat of the MIDI Clock signal
16 = triplet eighth note =
1/3
of a beat of the MIDI Clock signal
12 = sixteenth note = 1⁄4 of a beat of the MIDI Clock signal
