Alternate Modulation Overview
Alternate Modulation Sources
AlternateModulationletsyouusecontrollers,envelopes,
LFOs,etc.tomodulateProgramparameters.Youcanuse
onecontrollertomodulatemultipleparameterssimultane‐
ously.Youcanalsocreatecomplexmodulationsetupsin
which(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.
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EG
sinvari‐
ous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ver‐
siontocontrolanother.
Finally,youcancascadetwoAMSMixerstogether,byusing
oneastheinputofanother.

Thismeansthatnomodulationsourceisselected.

Thisisthenote’sMIDInotenumber,from0(C‐2)to127

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
