AMS1/2 (L) (Alternate Modulation Source 1/2)

These parameters select the source that will control the pitch EG “Level” parameters (“AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list” on page 123).

Intensity (AMS1/2 Intensity)

These parameters specify the depth and direction of the effect applied by “AMS1”. With a setting of 0, the levels specified by “Start/Attack/Decay/Release Level” will be used.

For example if “AMS1” is Joystick +Y, pushing the joystick to

–99 = approximately 1 octave

Release Time

turn it on will change the “Level” parameters of the Pitch EG. As the absolute value of “Intensity” is increased, the pitch EG

Start/Attack/Decay/Release Level

These parameters specify the amount of pitch change. The actual amount of pitch change will depend on the “Intensity (AMS1/2 Intensity)” parameter (see below). For example, with an “Intensity” setting of +12.00, a “Level” setting of +99 would raise the pitch one octave, and a “Level” setting of –99 would lower the pitch one octave.

-99…+99 Parameter value.

Start Level

Specifies the amount of pitch change at note-on.

Attack Level

Specifies the amount of pitch change when the attack time has elapsed.

Release Level

Specifies the amount of pitch change when the release time has elapsed.

Attack/Decay/Release Time

These parameters specify the time over which the pitch change will occur.

0…99 Parameter value.

Attack Time

Specifies the time over which the pitch will change from note-on until it reaches the pitch specified as the attack level.

Decay Time

Specifies the time over which the pitch will change after reaching the attack level until it reaches the normal pitch.

Release Time

Specifies the time over which the pitch will change from note-off until it reaches the pitch specified as the release level.

levels will change more greatly when the joystick is released. The direction of the change is specified by “Start Level Swing” and “Attack Level Swing”. When the key pressure is released, the pitch EG levels will return to their own settings. If “AMS1” is set to Velocity, increasing the absolute value of “Intensity” will produce increasingly wider change in pitch EG levels for strongly-played notes. The direction of the change is specified by “Start Level Swing” and “Attack Level Swing”. As you play more softly, the pitch change will draw closer to the pitch EG levels.

-99…+99 Parameter value.

Start Level Swing

This parameter specifies the direction of change in “Start Level” caused by “AMS1/2”. If “Intensity” is a positive (+) value, a setting of + will raise the EG level, and a setting of – will decrease it. With a setting of 0 there will be no change.

Attack Level Swing

This parameter specifies the direction of change in “Attack Level” caused by “AMS1/2”. If “Intensity” is a positive (+) value, a setting of + will raise the EG level, and a setting of – will decrease it. With a setting of 0 there will be no change.

Pitch EG ‘Time’ modulation

AMS(T) (Alternate Modulation Source)

This parameter selects the source that will control the “Time” parameters of the pitch EG (see “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list” on page 123).

Intensity (AMS(T) Intensity)

This parameter specifies the depth and direction of the effect that “AMS” will have on the “Time” parameters. With a set-
