EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE

no doubt be able to use this function to great effect when playing the
S3200XL directly from the EWI. Some of the more esoteric MIDI controllers
can usually be inserted as commands in your sequencer to control the
S3200XL’s ‘modules’ within a sequence.
Velocity This selects velocity as the controller.
Key This selects keyboard position as the modulation control source.
Lfo1 This selects LFO 1 as the modulation source. LFO1 may also be a modulation
destination and it is possible to modulate its rate, depth and delay.
Lfo2 No prizes for guessing that this selects LFO 2 as the modulation source.
Env1 This selects the ADSR amplitude envelope, ENV1, as the modulation source.
Env2 This selects the multi-stage ENV 2 as the controller.
Env3 This selects the multi-stage ENV 3 as the controller.
! Modwheel This selects the current position of the modwheel at the time of note-on as the
current controller. Moving it whilst the note is held will have no effect - it is only
its position at the point of note-on that has the effect.
! Bend As above, this selects the current position of the bend wheel at note-on as the
controller.
! External This selects the current position of the selected external MIDI controller at the
point of note-on as the modulation source. These are selected in the MIDI
mode.
All of these are available to be routed in any amount to virtually any source which include filter 1
and 2 cutoff, LFO 1 rate, depth and delay, overall program amplitude and keygroup amplitude,
pitch and pan position. To select them, you simply move the cursor to the modulation input
field found on every module and scroll through the list. Modulation sources may be mixed at
each modules’ input to further expand the possibilities available and each control input may be
inverted for even more flexibility.
Each keygroup has these modulation facilities available separately allowing an enormous
amount of flexibility and this, combined with the all the other PROGRAM EDIT functions should
keep you happy for a long time!
At first, the modulation system may seem a little difficult and maybe even confusing. Don’t
worry - if you are not into programming you can largely forget about it and just use the defaults.
Similarly, if you do not like synthesisers and prefer instead to use the S3200XL for the
reproduction of high quality samples of acoustic instruments again, you need not concern
yourself with these functions. If, however, you are one those who likes to experiment with
sound and tweak those knobs, we feel sure you will appreciate the flexibility of this method.
