Alternate Modulation Sources (AMS) The effects of AMS on various parameters, and example applications

379

EG Time —
Pitch EG (Prog 2–8c)
Filter EG (Prog 3–1–5c)
Amp EG (Prog 4–3d)

EG times can be controlled by the Common LFO, keyboard 
tracking, controllers, or tempo etc. 

You can specify an 

Intensity

 value for each EG segment 

(

Attack

, 

Decay

, 

Slope

, 

Release

). EG times are determined 

by the Alternate Modulation value when the preceding 
point is reached. For example, the Alternate Modulation 
value at the moment the envelope reaches the attack level 
will determine the decay time.

If 

Intensity

 is set to a value of 8, 17, 25, 33, 41, or 49, the 

corresponding time can be multiplied by a maximum of 2, 4, 
8, 16, 32, or 64 times (or divided by 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/
32, 1/64).

• Select JS +Y:CC#01 for 

AMS

, and set 

AMS Intensity

 to 

+8, “At” to +, “Dc” to –, and “Sl” and “Rl” to 0. When 
you move the joystick in the +Y direction, the Attack 
Time will be lengthened by a maximum of 2 times. The 
Decay Time will be shortened by a maximum of 1/2. 
The Slope and Release times will not change.

LFO Frequency (Prog 5–1a)

The frequency of LFO 1, 2 or Common LFO can be 
controlled by the EG, keyboard tracking, controllers, or 
tempo etc.
You can also use the LFO2 frequency to modulate LFO1, or 
use the Common LFO frequency to modulate LFO 1/2.

If 

Intensity

 is set to a value of 16, 33, 49, 66, 82, or 99, the 

corresponding frequency can be multiplied by a maximum 
of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 times (or divided by 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/
16, 1/32, 1/64).

• Select JS +Y:CC#01 for 

AMS

, and set 

Intensity

 to +16. 

When you move the joystick in the +Y direction, the LFO 
frequency will be increased by a maximum of 2 times. If 
you set 

Intensity

 to –16 and move the joystick in the +Y 

direction, the LFO frequency will be decreased by up to 
1/2.

LFO Frequency AMS Intensity (Prog 5–1b)

You can use the EG, keyboard tracking, controllers, or tempo 
etc. to control the intensity of the AMS that controls the 
frequency of the LFO 1, 2, or Common LFO.

For example if you’re using the pitch EG to modulate the 
LFO frequency, you could use a separate AMS to control the 
depth of this effect.

• Set 

AMS

 to a controller such as SW 1 or 2, so that the 

pitch EG will lightly control the LFO frequency when the 
switch is off, and more deeply when the switch is on.

LFO Shape (Prog 5–1a)

You can use a EG, keyboard tracking, controllers, or tempo 
etc. to control the shape of the LFO 1, 2, or Common LFO 
waveform. You can also use the LFO2 frequency to 
modulate LFO1, or use the Common LFO frequency to 
modulate LFO 1/2.

• You can control the LFO waveform by setting 

AMS

 to a 

controller such as JS+Y, and operating the controller 
when desired.

Common LFO Reset (Prog 5–8a)

You can use a controller or tempo etc. to reset the Common 
LFO.

• By setting 

AMS

 to Gate 1, you can make the Common 

LFO reset when a note is played from a state in which all 
notes are off. For example, this will ensure that a filter 
sweep always starts from the same place.

• You can set 

AMS

 to a controller such as JS+Y: CC#01, 

and operate the controller when you want to reset the 
LFO.
