Korg NAUTILUS Series

EXi: STR-1 Plucked String
224
4–5c: Decay
Decay [0…100]
This controls the overall decay time of the string without
affecting frequency content. This interacts with Damping,
which controls the decay time for high frequencies. For more
information, see “4–6a: Damping” on page 225.
Note: The Amp EG still controls the output level of the
STR-1 as a whole, so the final decay time will be a
combination of the String Decay and the Amp EG. As a
general rule, the Amp EG can make the overall decay time
shorter than the String Decay, but not longer.
For instance, if the String Decay is set to a high value (for a
long decay), but the Amp EG Decay is short, the final result
will be a short decay.
For more information, see “6–3: Amp EG” on page 245.
AMS 1 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects the first modulation source to control the Decay.
For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate Modulation Source
(AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [-100…+100]
This controls the depth and direction of AMS1.
AMS 2 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a second modulation source to control the
Decay. For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate Modulation
Source (AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [-100…+100]
This controls the depth and direction of AMS 2.
Release [0…100]
This sets the overall release time for the string–the time that
it takes to fade away after note-off.
Note: The Amp EG still controls the output level of the
STR-1 as a whole, so the final release time will be a
combination of the String Release and the Amp EG. For
more information, see “Decay,” above.
AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a modulation source to control the Release. For
a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate Modulation Source
(AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [-100…+100]
This controls the depth and direction of the Release
modulation.
4–5d: Nonlinearity
Amount [-100.0…100.0]
This models the instability of the string’s bridge. Greater
nonlinearity means a less rigid bridge. At higher levels, this
causes the characteristic buzzing sound of some non-western
stringed instruments, such as the sitar.
AMS1 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects the first modulation source to control the
Nonlinearity. For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate
Modulation Source (AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [-100.0…+100.0]
This controls the depth and direction of the Nonlinearity
modulation.
AMS2 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a second modulation source to control the
Nonlinearity. For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate
Modulation Source (AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [-100.0…+100.0]
This controls the depth and direction of the second
Nonlinearity modulation.
