Gate Output
If the value of the Control Source is less than the
Threshold, the Gate outputs the preset value or AMS
source selected under Below Threshold.
If the value of the Control Source is greater than or
equal to the Threshold, the Gate outputs the preset
value or AMS source selected under At & Above
Threshold.
Below Threshold [Fixed Value, AMS A]
This selects whether Below Threshold uses a preset
value, or the selected AMS source.
Fixed Value [-99…+99]
This lets you set a specific value to be used when the
Control Source is less than the Threshold. This only
applies when Below Threshold is set to Fixed Value.
AMS A [List of AMS Sources]
This lets you set an AMS source to pass through the
Gate when the Control Source is less than the
Threshold. This only applies when Below Threshold
is set to AMS A.
At & Above Threshold [Fixed Value, AMS B]
This selects whether At & Above Threshold uses a
preset value, or the selected AMS source.
Fixed Value [-99…+99]
This lets you set a specific value to be used when the
Control Source is greater than or equal to the
Threshold. This only applies when At & Above
Threshold is set to Fixed Value.
AMS B [List of AMS Sources]
This lets you set an AMS source to pass through the
Gate when the Control Source is greater than or equal
to the Threshold. This only applies when At & Above
Threshold is set to AMS B.
Tips on using the Gate
Selective pitch-bend, using a switch
You can use Control at Note-On Only to apply an effect
to some notes, but not others, based on the state of an
AMS source at the start of the note. For instance:
1. Set the Control Source to Assignable Foot Switch
2. Set Control At Note-On Only to On (checked).
3. Set the Threshold to 50.
4. Set Below Threshold to a Fixed Value of 00.
5. Set At & Above Threshold to AMS B: Ribbon
(CC#16).
6. On the Pitch Mod page, assign the AMS Mixer to
control the pitch.
7. Also on Pitch Mod, set the standard Ribbon
amount to 0.
This way, only the AMS Mixer’s processed version of
the Ribbon will affect the pitch.
8. With the foot-switch off, play a chord, and hold it
through step 9.
9. Press down on and hold the footswitch, and then
play a new note above the chord.
10.Use the ribbon to bend the pitch of the new note.
The new note will bend, but the original chord (played
before you pressed on the foot-switch) will not.
Selective pitch-bend, using only the joystick
You can also use a single AMS source as both the
Control Source and a value source:
1. Set the Control Source to JS X.
2. Set Control At Note-On Only to On (checked).
3. Set the Threshold to 00.
4. Set Below Threshold to AMS A: JS X.
5. Set At & Above Threshold to a Fixed Value of 00.
6. On the Pitch Mod page, assign the AMS Mixer to
control the pitch.
7. Also on Pitch Mod, set the standard JS+X and JS–X
amounts to 0.
This way, only the AMS Mixer’s processed version of
the joystick will affect the pitch.
8. With the joystick in the center, play a chord, and
hold it through step 9.
9. Bend the joystick to the left, and then play a new
note above the chord.
10.Use the joystick to bend the pitch of the new note.
The new note will bend, but the original chord (played
before you bent the joystick down) will not. This
method is particularly good for bending the top note of
a chord up to pitch.
Generating a static value
Sometimes, it can be handy to have a preset value as an
AMS source. The Gate is one way to create this. To do
so:
1. Set both Below Threshold and At & Above
Threshold to Fixed Value, and enter the same
value into each.
Now, the AMS mixer will always generate this static
value.
6–1b: AMS Mixer 2
This is the second AMS Mixer for Oscillator 1. The
parameters are exactly the same as those for AMS
Mixer 1, as described under “6–1a: AMS Mixer 1” on
page 89.
