For synths with after touch, this is one of my favorite expressive flourishes. So far I haven’t been able to map the LFO rate of LFO 1 or 2 to the After Touch. Is this not possible or am I just going about it wrong?
Both of these things are possible.
There’s a dedicated slider in the left hand performance panel which modulates LFO 2 Rate with aftertouch (you need to have the switch set to the middle position so that aftertouch duplicates the function of the bender’s trigger (“AT+Trigger”)).
Also, you can modulate LFO1 rate in the mod matrix: press the “mod assign” button, then select the button “AT” as the source and the button “LFO1” as the destination then turn the encoder to set the depth.

Hey, that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do, but for some reason neither LFO rate control for 1 or 2 will talk to the Mod Matrix. I’ve had success with other direct parameter mapping, I just haven’t been able to get LFO rate for either LFO to respond to after touch.
You have to do it with the button. Direct mappings only work on destinations for which there is no existing fixed mapping on the matrix buttons.
Remember, LFO2 isn’t active unless specifically applied via the performance section.
Presuming you have the dedicated LFO 1 destination sliders engaged and the LFO delay at a setting where it’s actually allowing the LFO to act upon the destinations.
Are you on the latest firmware (1.25)?

Thanks, I was trying to direct map the parameter that had fixed mapping. I got LFO1 rate to respond to aftertouch. Still can’t get LFO2 rate to respond though. I do have it engaged. It’s not a big deal. As long as I can map LFO1, it’s fine. Thank you
Direct LFO2 to something using the left hand controller section, i.e. raise the DDS, VCF or VCA slider there.
Raise the LFO 2 Rate slider there.
Set the switch there to AT+Trig.
(Maybe set the LFO 2 delay knob to zero to hear immediate effect).
Play a note, press the key in further. The further in you press it the more LFO depth gets applied and the faster the LFO goes.
