For what it's worth heres what I use on leads and bass (and the
rationale):
- Ribbon X ...... +- 3 pitch bend
I really prefer the ribbon to the wheel cause you can do trills and
morph from bends to vibrato
- Pitch wheel ..... +- 12 pitch bend
Pretty much for dive bombs and swoop-ups. Also extends the range of
the keyboard in a pinch
- Ribbon Z ..... a patch dependent modulation that is usually
attack based. Could be a pitch envelope thing or a filter cutoff
thing or a sync sweep thing.
- Mod wheel .... LFO modulation of pitch with concurrent mod of LFO
speed up to where the sidebands come in.
- Knob 5 .... Filter cutoff or something similar that helps me
generall adjust the brightness of the patch so it sits in the mix.
- Knob 6 ... Resonance if applicable
- Knob 7 .... Delay return
- Knob 8 ..... Reverb return
- Knobs 1-4 ..... depends on the patch. Often not used. If used it's
something either envelope based (mimicking the VCA and VCF envelope
controls) Or something completely unique.
- Foot pedal ..... is either routed to modulation to control patch
morphs or to volume.
- Aftertouch .... is something that adds expressiveness to the
sustaining sound like a little filter cutoff, or filter modulation by
LFO, or a slight increase in osc sync pitch or a combination of all
three.
