active when you initially call up a Voice is a
function of the [CONTROL FUNCTION] section and
is programmable per Voice. When set to VOL, as
below, the Sliders will send System Exclusive
messages to control the Element levels within the
Voice. (When selected in a Performance the
Sliders control Voice levels with the Performance).
When in a MASTER Setup you will most likely
select ZONE as the active row making the Sliders
then programmable per Master setup.
Control Sets Summary: Each AWM2 (sample-
based) S90 ES Voice has six Control Setups where
a physical controller,
assigned a specific controllable parameter, called
the Destination (DEST) and a Depth value that
determines how much effect the controller will
have. This flexible system will enable the user to
tailor the sensitivity
movement. Sensitivity or Depth refers to how far
you move the controller to get a desired result.
This is an important setting because you want to
be comfortable working the controller while you
perform.
The destinations are listed in detail on page 36 of
the Data List booklet that comes with your S90
ES. They include Voice volume, reverb send,
chorus send, and some
parameters (not all Insertion Effect parameters
are real time controllable). And if you are dealing
with the internal sample-based Voices, an array of
Common and individual Element parameters like
filter cutoff, resonance, LFO speed and depth,
tuning, key on delay, Pan position, Pitch, Filter
and Amplitude envelopes, etc., etc., can be
programmed. PLG1, PLG2 and PLG3 Voices will be
able to be assigned to volume, reverb send,
chorus send and the 26 possible Insertion Effect
parameters, only.
Each PLG-series board may have controller sets of
their own, depending on the technology involved –
these will be programmed in the PLG Voice Editor
software. For example, if you program (using the
provided AN Expert Editor) a PLG150-AN Voice to
respond to cc16 for filter cutoff and cc17 for filter
resonance, it will have its 'virtual analog' filter
controlled by the S90 ES Assign 1 / 2.
Note: PLG150-series Plug-in Voices will have a
different set of Controller Set screens in the S90
called the Source,
of each controller's
26 Insertion Effect
ES (explained below). Also, look in the Voice
Editors for
routings. For example, the PLG150-AN has some 8
AC (assignable control devices) and 15 Control
Sets available. The PLG150-AN is based on the
AN1x keyboard synth, which had 8 front panel
assignable knobs AC1-AC8. You can reassign as
many as you wish to your available S90 ES
physical controllers. Each board will have a
different controller setup arrangement depending
on the technology involved.
PLG150 Series boards are single PART boards and
have two kinds of Voices: PLUG-IN and BOARD.
PLUG-IN Voices
integrated with S90 ES Effects and Controller
routings (discussed below). BOARD Voices are
resident on the Board itself and have not yet been
integrated with the host parameters (hopefully
you will customize them to your liking). Each
is
board comes with a different amount of Board
Voices for you to build PLUG-IN Voice and the S90
ES gives you 64 blank USER locations for you to
place them.

additional Controller (CTL) screens that will let
you route controllers to the following areas:
Modulation Wheel Assignment: In each S90 ES
PLG150 Voice you can assign MW to directly
control the
Modulation (PMod) – vibrato; Filter Modulation
(FMod) – wah-wah; and Amplitude Modulation
(AMod) - tremolo.
Aftertouch
assigned to
Amplitude Mod and the direct control of Pitch with
(AT) key pressure
Assignable Controller: For each PLG150 Voice
you will find a screen for an Assignable Control –
AC Control. Here you can pick a device (physical
controller) or control change number to do various
tasks: Control the Filter, Pitch Modulation, Filter
Modulation, and Amplitude Modulation. These will
enable the user to customize routing for the
PLG150 Voices.
