to simulate the downward swoops that a guitarist produces using the trem-

olo arm.

Choosing a pitch modulation source

Use the

Pitch > AMS

(Alternate Modulation Source) pop-up menu to select a

modulation source for the pitch of the selected oscillator. A list of the avail-
able AMS sources is in the Appendix.
The

Intensity

parameter (-12.00…+12.00) specifies the depth and direction

of the effect produced by the AMS. With a setting of 0, no modulation will be

applied. With a setting of 12.00, the pitch will change up to one octave.
For example, if you choose the JS (-Y) AMS and move the joystick down-

wards, the pitch will rise if this parameter is set to a positive (+) value, or fall

if this parameter is set to a negative (–) value. The range is a maximum of

one octave.

Controlling the Pitch EG (Envelope Generator)

Use the

Pitch EG

parameters to controls the Pitch EG unique to all oscilla-

tors.

Linking pitch to the envelope

The

Velocity Intensity

parameter (-12.00…+12.00) specifies the depth and

direction of the Pitch EG modulation. With a setting of 12.00, the pitch will
change a maximum of

±1 octave.

Linking pitch to an AMS modulation

Use the

Pitch EG > AMS

parameter to select a modulation source for the

pitch EG of the selected oscillator. A list of the available AMS sources is in
the Appendix.

Use the

Pitch EG > Intensity

parameter to specify the depth and direction of

the AMS. For example, if you choose the Velocity AMS and set this value to

+12.00, the velocity will control the range of pitch change produced by the
pitch EG in a range of

±1 octave. As you play more softly, the pitch change will

draw closer to the pitch EG levels.
