Alternate Modulation Sources (AMS)
Alternate Modulation
Overview
Alternate Modulation lets you use controllers, envelopes, LFOs,
etc. to modulate Program parameters. You can use one controller
to modulate multiple parameters simultaneously. You can also
create complex modulation setups where (for example) an
envelope modulates the frequency of an LFO, and that LFO is then
used to modulate a filter.
Programs provide 46 types (84 destinations) for alternate
modulation.
Alternate Modulation Sources
You can use the sources listed on the following page to control
Alternate Modulation. If you select two or more Alternate
Modulation destinations for control by the same AMS, a single
source will apply modulation to each of the specified destinations.
Frequently used assignments such as using pich bend wheel to
control pitch are provided as special parameters, so it is not
necessary to use Alternate Modulation to accomplish this.
AMS Mixers
The AMS Mixers combine two AMS sources into one, or process
an AMS source to make it into something new.
For instance, they can add two AMS sources together, or use one
AMS source to scale the amount of another. You can also use them
to change the shapes of LFOs and EGs in various ways, modify the
response of realtime controllers, and more.
The AMS Mixer outputs appear in the list of AMS sources, just
like the LFOs and EGs.
The original, unmodified inputs to the AMS Mixers are still
available as well. For instance, if you use LFO 1 as an input to a
AMS Mixer, you can use the processed version of the LFO to
control one AMS destination, and the original version to control
another.
Finally, you can cascade two AMS Mixers together, by using one
as the input of another.
