Choosing a Source
Once you have chosen a Modulator and a Target, it is time to select a Source. This is
done in Modulation Page 2. If you have been following along so far, letÕs continue
where we left off from the last set of steps:
After selecting the Target Block and Parameter, press [PAGE >] to advance to
Modulation Page 2.
The display will look like this:
MOD 1 SOURCE: PITCH BEND
The cursor appears beneath the Modulator, indicating that you can now turn the
[VALUE/ENTER] knob to select any of the 8 Modulators.
Press the [PAGE >] button again to advance the cursor to the next field.
Use the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select a Modulation Source.
Choose from any of the following Modulation Sources:
Pitch Bend Aftertouch Note Number Note Velocity
Controllers 000Ð123 Local Generator 1 Local Generator 2
Setting the Amplitude
Once a ModulatorÕs Target and Source have been defined, it is then time to set the
Amplitude. This is the amount of modulation control the Source will have over the
Target. This number can be set to 00 (for no effect) all the way to +99 (for maximum
effect) or down to -99 (for maximum negative effect; i.e., inverted control). If you
have been following along so far, letÕs continue where we left off from the last set of
steps:
After selecting the Target and Source, press [PAGE >] to advance to Modulation
Page 3.
The display will look like this:
MOD 1 AMPLITUDE: +0
The cursor appears beneath the Modulator, indicating that you can now turn the
[VALUE/ENTER] knob to select any of the 8 Modulators.
Press the [PAGE >] button again to advance the cursor to the next field.
Use the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to set the ModulatorÕs amplitude from -99 to
+99.
