Amp1 EG
ThisdisplaystheAmp1EGenvelopespecifiedintheAmp1
EGpage.
ThegraphicshowstheshapeoftheAmp1EG.Youcanalso
changetheshapebyusingthemousetodrageachofthe
squares.
Amp2
ThispagecontrolsOscillator2’sbasiclevelandPansettings.
ItisavailableonlywhentheOscillatorModeissettoDou‐
ble;ifnot,thepagewillbegrayedout.
TheparametersareidenticaltothoseforOscillator1
()“A m p 1 ” onpage 45).
Amp1 Modulation
ThispagecontainsthesettingsforOscillator1’sAmplevel
modulation.Amongotherthings,youcan:
•Setupcomplexkeyboardtrackingshapestocontrolthe
Amplevel.
•AssignAMSmodulationfortheAmplevel.
•ControltheeffectoftheLFOsontheAmplevel.
Thetotaleffectofthemodulationcanincrease thevo
lumeto
amaximumoftwotimeslouderthantheAmp“Level”set‐
ting.
Keyboard Track
Keyboardtrackingletsyouvarythevolumeasyouplayup
anddownthekeyboard.Usually,someamountofkeytrack‐
ingisnecessaryinordertomakethevolumeconsistent
acrosstheentirerange.
PS60’skeyboardtrackingcanbefairlycomplex,ifdesired.
Youcan createdifferentratesofchangeoveruptofourdif‐
ferentpartsofthekeyboard.Forinstance ,youcan:
•Makethevolumeincreaseveryquicklyoverthemiddle
ofthekeyboard,andthenincreasemoreslowly–ornotat
all–inthehigheroctaves.
•Makethevolumeincreaseasyouplayloweronthe
keyboard.
•Createabruptchangesatcertainkeys,fo
rsplit‐like
effects.
How it works: Keys and Ramps
Thekeyboardtrackingworksbycreatingfourramps,or
slopes,betweenfivekeysonthekeyboard.
