PROGRAM mode: HD-1
You can also choose whether the gate will be able to open
and close continuously in response to the control source, or
whether it only opens or closes at the beginning of the note,
and then stays that way over the note's entire duration.
You can use the Gate to:
• Use a foot-switch (or other controller) to apply pitch-
bend or other effects to some notes, but not to others
• Apply controllers to a parameter only after the controller
reaches a certain threshold–for instance, use Velocity to
control harmonics in the STR-1, but only once Velocity
is greater than 90
• Use a joystick, button, or other controller to switch
between two different LFOs (or any two AMS sources)
Gate Control
Source
This selects the AMS source to control the gate.
Control at Note-On Only
When this is enabled (checked), the value of the Control
Source at note-on will select the output (Below Threshold
or At & Above Threshold). The selected output will then
remain active throughout the duration of the note, regardless
of any subsequent change in the Control Source's value.
Note that the output value itself can continue to change; only
the selection of Below or At & Above is fixed.
Threshold
This sets the value of the Control Source at which the gate
opens or closes.
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
This selects whether Below Threshold uses a preset value,
or the selected AMS source.
Fixed Value
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
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
This selects whether At & Above Threshold uses a preset
value, or the selected AMS source.
Fixed Value
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
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 for using Gate
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.
