element 2 will be affected, and the others are 

unaffected. (See example assignment below).  

 

Real-time Control over Insertion Effects: 

Other possible destinations include real-time 

control over the powerful DUAL INSERTION 

EFFECTS that can be applied to a VOICE. 
Refer to the Effect Parameter List (page 27-

35) for an idea of potential here. When 

targeting a control destination if an effect 
parameter can be real-time controlled you will 

see an abbreviation of the parameter name 

appear in the Control Set. If not controllable 
in real-time, the parameter will be designated 

with a “P” number, as in “INS2P10”. For 

example, call up the B3 Organ sound 

PRE1:118 [

Or:16+8+5&1/3

]; This Voice 

uses the Dual Rotor Speaker 2 algorithm for 

INSERTION B. You will find data about this 

effect on the bottom right of page 30 of the 
DATA LIST booklet. Navigate to its Control 

Set1/2;  

 

 

Press [EDIT] 

 

Press [COMMON] 

 

Press [F4] CTL SET 

 

Press [SF1] Set1/2;  

 

 

 
This Voice has the destination set to 

“INSB:EfSpCtl” which translates to “Insertion 

Effect B: Effect Speed Control”. It has two 
speeds (like a Leslie) Slow and Fast. This 

Control Set is using the Mod wheel to switch 

between Slow/Fast speeds. Most of the 
parameters of the Dual Rotor Speaker 2 

algorithm are assignable for real-time control. 

There are 16 possible parameters in the 

processor. “Speed Control” is listed as MIDI 
Parameter Number 16. MIDI Parameters 10 

and 15 are unavailable for real-time control 

assignment. If you attempt to select them you 
will see “INSB:INS2P10” and “INSB:INS2P15” 

instead of a parameter abbreviation – 

meaning they are unavailable. (MIDI 
Parameter Number 10: (typically Wet/Dry 

Balance) is totally unavailable because of 

phase cancellation possibilities - it is not even 

listed; and Number 15 “Microphone L-R angle” 
is the angle of the modeled stereo microphone 

on the Leslie cabinet…simply not a parameter 

you would move in real-time. Mic angle is a 
“set and forget” parameter. Parameters that 

are unavailable typically have no 

musical

 or 

practical

 use. If you want to see and tweak 

this effect algorithm press [F6]: EFFECT/ 
[SF3]:INSB   

 

DEPTH 

The setting here must be set with 

care and some thought. The range here is 

from –64 ~ 0 ~ +63. How the S90 ES 
responds to a setting will depend on 

which

 

parameter

 and 

which

 

controller

 is selected. 

(See below some example assignments). A 
Depth setting of 0 defeats all other settings in 

the Controller Set and renders them 

meaningless. In general, the higher the 
number the more it increases the range of 

control. Negative value settings reverse the 

effective 

direction

 of the controller. You will 

have  to  be  logical  here  when  making 
assignments. …More on this in a minute.  

 

How the assignment of controls works 

Example Assignment: In this example we deal 

with controlling VOLUME via controllers within a 

S90 ES sample-based Voice. This can be tricky, 
but this example should make clear how it works. 

 

--Let’s say you want to control the 

total 

Volume 

of the Voice with the Modulation Wheel. MIDI 
control change message #001 is the Modulation 

Wheel. The modulation wheel can be assigned to 

control all manner of parameters within a 
synthesizer, 

not just

 vibrato (Pitch Modulation 

Depth). But for our example let’s see what 

happens when you attempt to assign the MW to 
control overall volume. For our experiment let’s 

initialize a voice. This way we are not inheriting 

values from a preprogrammed Controller Set. 

From 

Voice mode

 

 

Press the following buttons:  

 

Press [JOB]  

 

Press [F1] INIT  

 

Press [ENTER]  

 

Press [INC/YES] to execute.  

 

This will create an INIT VOICE with just a piano 

wave in it. 

 

Press [EDIT] 

 

Let’s select a synth wave. Navigate to the 

OSCILLATOR WAVE page:  

 

Press Program button [1] to drop to the 

Element level of editing. (Notice the 

Inverse video ‘

E

’ and the ‘EL1’ on the top 

line – denoting the Voice has been edited 

but not yet stored and we are editing 

Element 1.)  

 

Press [F1] OSC 

 

Press [SF1] WAVE 

 

Select sample wave #0612 [Wv:UniBass]
