AMS (Alternate Modulation
Source) List
Physical and MIDI controllers
Off
This means that no modulation source is selected.
Note Number
This is the note’s MIDI note number, from 0 (C‐2) to 127
(G9).
Velocity
This is the note’s MIDI note‐on velocity.
Exp. Velocity (Exponential Velocity)
This is MIDI note‐on velocity through an exponential curve.
The curve means that low velocities won’t have very much
effect, and the difference between two lower velocity values
won’t be very noticeable.
On the other hand, high velocities produce increasingly
greater effects, and the difference between any two higher
velocity values will be more pronounced.
Poly After
Polyphonic aftertouch allows a different aftertouch value for
each note. This can be received from external MIDI devices
or generated by the internal sequencer. The KROME
keyboard itself does not generate poly aftertouch, however.
After Touch
The effect will be applied by channel aftertouch messages
from the KROME’s sequence data or received from MIDI IN.
JS X
This is the horizontal movement of the main joystick. It also
receives MIDI Pitchbend.
JS+Y: CC#01
This is the vertical movement of the main joystick, upwards
from the center. It also receives MIDI CC#01 (mod wheel).
JS–Y: CC#02
This is the vertical movement of the main joystick,
downwards from the center. It also receives MIDI CC#02
(breath controller).
JS +Y & AT/2 (Joy Stick +Y & After Touch/2)
The effect will be controlled by the joystick +Y (Vertical
upward) and by aftertouch. In this case, the effect of
aftertouch will be only half of the specified intensity.
JS –Y & AT/2 (Joy Stick –Y & After Touch/2)
The effect will be controlled by the joystick –Y (Vertical
downward) and by aftertouch. In this case, the effect of
aftertouch will be only half of the specified intensity.
Pedal: CC#04 (Foot Pedal: CC#04)
This AMS source receives MIDI CC#04. It can also be
generated by a foot pedal connected to the rear‐panel
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL input, if the Global Foot Pedal
Assign parameter is set to Foot Pedal (CC#04). For more
information, please see “Foot Pedal Assignments” on
page 350.
KnobMod1: #17 (Realtime Knob Modulation1: CC#17)
This AMS source always responds to MIDI CC#17. A MIDI
value of 0 causes the maximum negative modulation; 64
(center) means no modulation; and 127 causes the maximum
positive modulation. (You can invert this response, if
desired, by using a negative AMS intensity.)
It also usually corresponds to Realtime Controls USER knob
1 on the Controllers Setup page; but this will depend on the
Realtime Controls knob Assign settings of each individual
Program, Combination, and Song.
Basically, there are two separate factors: a physical knob
named USER knob 1, and an AMS source named “Knob
Mod.1: #17.” This provides a great deal of flexibility–but’s
it’s also easy to link the two together. To do so:
1. Go to the current mode’s Controllers page.
2. Set knob USER 1’s Realtime Controls Knob Assign to
Knob Mod.1: #17.
For more information, please see “1–3: Controllers Setup”
on page 16, and “Realtime Controls Knobs 1–4
Assignments” on page 348.
KnobMod2: #19 (Realtime Knob Modulation2: CC#19)
This AMS source always responds to MIDI CC#19, and will
usually also correspond to Realtime Controls USER knob 2.
For more information, please see “KnobMod1: #17 (Realtime
Knob Modulation1: CC#17)” on page 340.
KnobMod3: #20 (Realtime Knob Modulation3: CC#20)
This AMS source always responds to MIDI CC#20, and will
usually also correspond to Realtime Controls USER knob 3.
For more information, please see “KnobMod1: #17 (Realtime
Knob Modulation1: CC#17)” on page 340.
KnobMod4: #21 (Realtime Knob Modulation4: CC#21)
This AMS source always responds to MIDI CC#21, and will
usually also correspond to Realtime Controls USER knob 4.
For more information, please see “KnobMod1: #17 (Realtime
Knob Modulation1: CC#17)” on page 340.
KnobMod1[+] (Realtime Knob Modulation1[+])
KnobMod2[+] (Realtime Knob Modulation2[+])
KnobMod3[+] (Realtime Knob Modulation3[+])
KnobMod4[+] (Realtime Knob Modulation4[+])
With these AMS sources, the knob position and the direction
of the resulting change are different than KnobMod1: #17–
KnobMod4: #21. If AMS intensity is set to a positive (+)
value, rotating the knob to the far left will produce an AMS
effect of 0. Rotating the knob toward the right will apply
change only in the positive direction. (If the intensity is set to
a negative value, the result will be the opposite.)
Damper: #64
This is the Damper pedal, also sometimes called the sustain
pedal. It corresponds to MIDI CC#64.
When using Korg’s optional half‐damper pedal, the DS‐1H,
this AMS source is continuous–not just on/off.
Porta.SW: #65
This is the MIDI portamento switch (CC#65), which also
enables and disables portamento.
Sostenuto: #66
This is the MIDI sostenuto pedal (CC#66).
Soft: CC#67
This is the MIDI oft pedal (CC#67).
SW 1: CC#80 (SW 1 Modulation: CC#80)
This is CC#80, which is the default for assignable front‐panel
switch 1 (SW1). To use SW1 and SW2 as AMS sources:
1. Go to the Controllers Setup page.
2. Under Panel Switch Assign, assign SW1 to SW1 Mod.
(CC#80) and SW2 to SW2 Mod. (CC#81).
These assignments are stored separately for each Program,
Combination, and Song.
For more information, please see “SW1/2 Assignments” on
page 348.
SW 2: CC#81 (SW 2 Modulation: CC#81)
This is CC#81, which is the default for assignable front‐panel
switch 2 (SW2). For more information, please see “SW 1:
CC#80 (SW 1 Modulation: CC#80)” above.
