I was building a fun combinator where I wanted velocity to determine how open the LP cutoff filter is (on PMS-20 RE Filter) - is this possible and how?

Answer (as usual): You could use Thor as infamous CV toolbox.

Disable all audio (remove OSC1, set filters to Bypass, etc.)

Then use the Thor modulation matrix:
SOURCE: Midi-Note-->Velocity
AMOUNT:100
DEST: CVOut1

You can grab the Velocity on the back at CV1 Output

Keep in mind: velocity is not dynamic. It remains at the last level until next Midi note trigger.

EDIT: I have added a patch for Thor.

You should better use a ADSR scaled by velocity. Only velocity would not create a typical curve. Note, that this works only for mono.

If the Thor is placed inside the combinator, then it automatically receives Midi notes sent to the combinator.

Click "Show Programmer" on your combinator and select the Thor-row. Thenyou'll see in the bottom part of the Ky Mapping are a checkbox called "Receive Notes" This indicates that Thor reacts to notes played into the combinator.

But as Loque (and I) said: if you want a velocity controlled smooth curve, then you'll need to feed an envelope (ADSR) into the CV in of your PMS-20.

The Thor patch worked a treat thanks for that!
