Hey there. I am unable to use Filter Envelope as the source to adjust Distortion Mix or Distortion Intensity. Setting the slots in the Matrix yields no result.

envelops are per voice, distortion mix is per patch. that can't work.

Wait
Why not? An Amp/Filter envelope is really just a value . You can assign Filter envelope to LFO2 Rate (not in clock sync mode) and modulates the rate just fine. Why can't you assign the value of the filter envelope to the distortion mix?
Maybe I'm totally wrong here, but it seems like it should work theoretically.
Appreciated

an LFO is per voice. the _patch_ distortion (in difference to the one located in between the filters) is per patch, as much as for instance a reverb is.

The problem with modulating patch efx with polyphonic sources is that it causes artefacts like clicking, because each successive voice supersedes the previous state. Think about how this works when you play a chord or a fast arpeggio, especially with a long release tail - only one envelope can modulate the distortion at any given time, so the result is often not good. It can, however, work quite nicely on monophonic patches...
[whispers]....have you tried using the LFO's instead?[/whispers]

Makes sense thanks guys
