Jammie, Just tested: Preset Definition: Realtime controls: Pedal to FC - nothing; Pedal to Pitch - I hear it modulating the pitch. Then I tried MIDI A to FC: I assigned MIDI A to FC and modulated that from an external source (Cubase). When I assigned Midi A to Pitch it works and modulates the Pitch. When I switch to volume/frequency/pan - I get nothing. Should I be measuring the voltage across pin 3 of the ssm2300s while I'm modulating with MIDI A / Pedal?
