AMS (Alternate Modulation
Source) List
Physical and MIDI controllers
Off
This means that no modulation source is selected.
Note Number
This is the note's MIDI note number, from 0 (C-2) to 127
(G9).
Velocity
This is the note's MIDI note-on velocity.
Exp. Velocity (Exponential Velocity)
This is MIDI note-on velocity through an exponential curve.
The curve means that low velocities won't have very much
effect, and the difference between two lower velocity values
won't be very noticeable.
On the other hand, high velocities produce increasingly
greater effects, and the difference between any two higher
velocity values will be more pronounced.
Poly After
Polyphonic aftertouch allows a different aftertouch value for
each note. This can be received from external MIDI devices
or generated by the internal sequencer. The M3 keyboard
itself does not generate poly aftertouch, however.
After Touch
This receives MIDI Aftertouch, as well as aftertouch
generated by pressing down on the M3 keyboard.
JS X
This is the horizontal movement of the main joystick. It also
receives MIDI Pitchbend.
JS+Y: CC#01
This is the vertical movement of the main joystick, upwards
from the center. It also receives MIDI CC#01 (mod wheel).
JS–Y: CC#02
This is the vertical movement of the main joystick,
downwards from the center. It also receives MIDI CC#02
(breath controller).
JS +Y & AT/2 (Joy Stick +Y & After Touch/2)
The effect will be controlled by the joystick +Y (Vertical
upward) and by aftertouch. In this case, the effect of
aftertouch will be only half of the specified intensity.
JS –Y & AT/2 (Joy Stick –Y & After Touch/2)
The effect will be controlled by the joystick –Y (Vertical
downward) and by aftertouch. In this case, the effect of
aftertouch will be only half of the specified intensity.
Pedal: CC#04 (Foot Pedal: CC#04)
This AMS source receives MIDI CC#04. It can also be
generated by a foot pedal connected to the rear-panel
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL input, if the Global Foot Pedal
Assign parameter is set to Foot Pedal (CC#04). For more
information, please see "Foot Pedal Assignments" on
page 600.
Ribbon: CC#16
This is the side-to-side movement of the ribbon controller,
which corresponds to MIDI CC#16.
ValueSldr: #18 (Value Slider: CC#18)
You can use the value slider as a modulation source, but
only when the following are true:
• You're on the Prog P0: Play page, and the big Program
name is selected, or
• You're on the Combi P0: Play page, and the big
Combination name is selected.
588
In these cases only, the value slider sends MIDI CC#18, and
can be used as a modulation source.
SldrMod5: #17 (Slider Modulation5: CC#17)
This AMS source always responds to MIDI CC#17. A MIDI
value of 0 causes the maximum negative modulation; 64
(center) means no modulation; and 127 causes the maximum
positive modulation. (You can invert this response, if
desired, by using a negative AMS intensity.)
It also usually corresponds to Slider 5 (USER 1) on the
Controllers Setup page but this depends on the Realtime
Control Slider Assign settings for each individual Program,
Combination, and Song.
Basically, there are two separate things: a physical slider
named Slider 5, and an AMS source named "Slider Mod.5:
#17." This provides a great deal of flexibility–but's it's also
easy to link the two together. To do so:
1. Go to the current mode's Controllers page.
2. Set Slider 5's Realtime Control Slider Assign to Slider
Mod.5: #17.
For more information, please see "1–6: Controllers Setup"
on page 35, and "Realtime Control Slider 5–8 Assignments"
on page 598.
SldrMod6: #19 (Slider Modulation6: CC#19)
This AMS source always responds to MIDI CC#19, and will
usually also correspond to Slider 6 (USER 2). For more
information, please see "SldrMod5: #17 (Slider
Modulation5: CC#17)" on page 588.
SldrMod7: #20 (Slider Modulation7: CC#20)
This AMS source always responds to MIDI CC#20, and will
usually also correspond to Slider 7 (USER 3). For more
information, please see "SldrMod5: #17 (Slider
Modulation5: CC#17)" on page 588.
SldrMod8: #21 (Slider Modulation8: CC#21)
This AMS source always responds to MIDI CC#21, and will
usually also correspond to Slider 8 (USER 4). For more
information, please see "SldrMod5: #17 (Slider
Modulation5: CC#17)" on page 588.
SldrMod5[+] (Realtime Control Slider5[+])
SldrMod6[+] (Realtime Control Slider6[+])
SldrMod7[+] (Realtime Control Slider7[+])
SldrMod8[+] (Realtime Control Slider8[+])
With these AMS sources, the slider position and the
direction of the resulting change are different than
SldrMod5: #17–SldrMod8: #21. If AMS intensity is set to a
positive (+) value, the AMS result will be zero when the
slider is lowered. Raising the slider will apply change only
in the positive direction. (If the intensity is set to a negative
value, the result will be the opposite.)
Damper: #64
This is the Damper pedal, also sometimes called the sustain
pedal. It corresponds to MIDI CC#64.
When using Korg's optional half-damper pedal, the DS-1H,
this AMS source is continuous–not just on/off.
Porta.SW: #65
This is the MIDI portamento switch (CC#65), which also
enables and disables portamento.
Sostenuto: #66
This is the MIDI sostenuto pedal (CC#66).
Soft: CC#67
This is the MIDI oft pedal (CC#67).
SW 1: CC#80 (SW 1 Modulation: CC#80)
This is CC#80, which is the default for assignable front-
panel switch 1 (SW1). To use SW1 and SW2 as AMS sources:
1. Go to the Controllers Setup page.
