Korg sampler, music workstation manual Amp1 Level/Pan, Amp Mod, Amp1 EG

For example, the volume of a piano note begins at a high volume the instant you play the note, and then decreases gradually. The volume of an organ note remains constant as long as you continue pressing the key. The volume of a note on a violin or wind instrument can be varied during the note by the musician (i.e., by regulating the amount of pressure on the bow or the force of the breath).

Amp1 Level/Pan page

Amp Level

Adjusts the volume of the sound that has passed through the oscillator, filter, and amp.

Pan

Specifies the pan (stereo position) after the signal has passed through the oscillator, filter, and amp. Normally you will set this to C064. If “Oscillator Mode” is Double and you wish to create a sense of stereo, set the Amp1 Level/Pan page and Amp2 Level/Pan page parameter “Pan” to left and right for oscillators 1 and 2 respectively. With a setting of Random, the pan will change randomly each time you play a note on TRITON STUDIO, produc- ing an interesting effect.

AMS (Pan AMS), Intensity

“Intensity” specifies the depth of the panning effect that will occur when “AMS (Pan AMS)” is in use.

If you set “AMS (Pan AMS)” to Note Number, the pan will change according to the keyboard position at which you play a note on a TRITON STUDIO. With a setting of LFO1 or 2, the sound will sweep from side to side (auto pan). Other settings allow you to move the oscillator pan by operating a controller.

Use DKit Setting

This is valid when “Oscillator Mode” is set to Drums. If this is checked, the pan location specified by the Drum Kit for each drum sound will be used. If this is unchecked, all drum sounds will sound at the same location. Preload and GM drum kits are set to stereo settings. Normally you will leave this checked.

Amp Mod. page

Keyboard Track

This lets you vary the volume relative to the position of the key you are playing on the keyboard.

•When “Ramp Low” has a positive (+) value, the volume will increase as you play lower on the keyboard. With a negative (–) value, the volume will decrease as you play lower on the keyboard.

•When “Ramp High” has a positive (+) value, the volume will increase as you play higher on the keyboard. With a negative (–) value, the volume will decrease as you play higher on the keyboard.

Amp Modulation

“Velocity Intensity” is used by most programs to decrease the volume of softly played notes and increase the volume of strongly played notes, and the Amp Modulation parame- ter adjusts the depth of this control. Normally you will set Amp Modulation to positive (+) values. As this setting is increased, there will be greater volume difference between softly played and strongly played notes.

LFO1/2

Specifies how the LFO’s will produce cyclic changes in volume (tremolo effect).

The volume will be affected by the LFO(s) for which you set an “LFO1 Intensity”, “LFO2 Intensity” value. “Intensity (AMS Intensity)” adjusts the depth by which the tremolo effect produced by the LFO will be affected when you assign an “AMS (LFO1 AMS, LFO2 AMS).” For example if you set “AMS” to JS-Y: #02, tremolo will be applied when you move the joystick of TRITON STU- DIO toward yourself, or when CC#02 is received.

Amp1 EG page

Here you can make settings for the amp EG, which changes the volume over time.

Every instrument has its own characteristic curve of vol- ume change. This is part of what gives each instrument its identifiable character. Conversely, by applying a strings- type Amp EG curve to an organ-type multisample, you can produce a sound with a character unlike a typical organ.
