C3 Solo limit mod wheel range

Tried to limit mod wheel in TA:-U-No-LX-V2 so the LFO is not to heavy, in order to mimic the funk vibrato with a Juno 106, but the routing is not doing what I am telling it to do. Binding Mod Wheel parameter 1 as confirmed in the MIDI monitor on the existing channel routed to TA-U to the DCO-LFO parameter and setting the target maximum to .20 and leaving the source as 0-127 but it still goes to 1.0 anyway (Vibrato is too deep). Is this another “Oh well, that is only available in performer even though it is an offered binding in solo. Sorry about that?” If bindings aren’t going to work, then remove bindings from solo 3 entirely, please. I have spent hours trying to make this work. A few bindings work, most don’t.

Have you tried using a filter for this?

Just checking: could it be that the synth still receives mod wheel (CC1) commands via MIDI? If your synth has a modulation matrix connection between CC1 and DCO-LFO, then you are controlling the LFO in two competing ways; might just be that your binding gets over-ridden by these CC1 commands all the time.

So you’ll need to make sure that either

  • your LFO isn’t bound to mod wheel within the synth
  • or CC1 gets filtered out in the route to the synth (instead of Controller Map as shown by @Ade above, use Suppress Events)

Or, like @Ade showed above, simply use MIDI filter to narrow the controller range.

Cheers,

Thank you very much, guys. Now that you both have posted that, I believe that the CC1 is bypassing the binding as it is directly going to the synth. The competing messages are probably the issue and the synth merely sticks to 0-127. When I get home, I am going to try what Ade listed. All may be mute once I upgrade to performer in a few weeks. Again, thanks for all of the help (apart from my whining about Solo).

So it looks as if it was a mechanical oversight on my part. Having owned the Juno 106 there was no LFO button, but the LFO was enacted by the mod (lever) and the amount predetermined the intensity of the LFO. The Juno 60 behaves differently. The mod wheel or lever is not the controller mapping to the LFO amount that is appropriate. Rather the LFO amount is determined by the fader, and the LFO button is the on/off switch used in funk music. On my Juno 106 I accomplished this with the mod lever. An “Ah ha!” moment for me. Simple ignorance of the simulated Juno 60 hardware. Loved my 106 though. Played many a gig with it.

Thanks again for the help guys. C3 is the best!
