Hi,
Im having a problem using input follower, which causes be to get distortion when the note being play is triggered.
my test scenario is pretty simple:
a) use an init patch
b) turn input follower to L+R
c) turn filter envelope amount to full
d) turn filter cutoff down.
now, create an input.. i'll use live but same elsewhere
a) create a drum track,
b) put a kick on each beat
c) send output to Virus TI input.
with a bit of adjusting of input follower sensitivity , and keeping attack and release short, if you hold a note down, then you will hear it 'pulse' with the drum beat.
Cool.... seems to be working
BUT... and its a big but, every time you play a new note you get a big distortion...
Ive track this down, its due to the fact the filter opens full, and then snaps shut (depending on input follower)
I didnt understand this at all... then i noticed that the filter envelope (which you cannot change as its supposed to be overridden by the input roller) and a very fast attack/decay
So I then I did an experiment..
I turned off the input follower, and then changed the filter envelope, gave it a large sustain.
turned the input follower back on...
bang, now I have a distorted sound at all times...
So now I'm a bit confused....
What should I set the filter envelope to before activating the input follower, so that it doesn't open up...
I thought i understood the input follower, but appears I'm missing a vital ingredient
thanks for any help
