Pitched Noise / Control Voltage from Keyboard?

[jolson88]

I have a question. I'm trying to do some examples of pitched noise. However, I can't find a way to run the control voltage from the keyboard (in the synth) to module the cut off frequency of a filter. Is this possible?

Here's what I'm trying to do:
1) White noise -> In of Filter1 (low-pass VC filter)
2) Filter1 Out -> VCA1 In (everything works fine so far)
3) Tweak resonance and cut-off frequency to get a pitched noise
4) Wire control voltage from keyboard -> mod of cut off frequency in Filter1

However, I can't achieve that last step. Am I just missing something? On the backpanel of the keyboard in the VSTi, I only see outputs for Velocity, After Touch, and Mod Wheel.

Isn't being able to run the control voltage from the keyboard to any part within the modular synth a pretty basic use?

As written on the manual, you can do it both ways :
- you can connect the key follow output situated under the mixer into the modulation input of the filter
- or use the existing implicite connection, clicking on the square of the left of the bottom right of the filter (K1 correpond to key follow 1)

Duoh! Thanks Vincent. For some reason, I hadn't truly understood that Key Follows equate to the control voltage output of the keyboard. Now a lot of stuff is making sense .

P.S. Yes, I'm a synthesizer newbie. I'm using the Mg Modular to _really_ get up to speed with analog synthesis. Thanks for your patience .
