ThiscontrolsthedepthanddirectionoftheAMSmodula‐
tionfortheStartlevel.
Forexample,ifyousettheAMSsourcetoVelocityandset
“Start”to+99,theStartlevelwillincreaseasyouplay

AMS1
Source [List of AMS Sources]
SelectsthefirstAMSsourcetocontroltheEG’sTimeparam‐
eters.VelocityandKeyboardTrackcanbothbeusefulhere,
forinstance.

ThiscontrolsthedepthanddirectionoftheAMSmodula‐
tionfortheAttacktime.
Forexample,ifyousettheAMSsourcetoVelocityandset
“A t t a c k ” to+99,theAttacktimewillgetmuchlongerat
highervelocities.Ifyouinsteadset“A t t a c k ” to–99,the
Attacktimewillgetmu
chshorterathighervelocities.
WhentheAMSsourceisatitsmaximumvalue–forinstance,
when“Velocity”isat127–asettingof+8willmakethe
Attacktimealmosttwiceaslong,andasettingof–8willcut
