PROG P6: AMS/C.KTrk
(AMS Mixer/Common Keyboard Track)
Each Oscillator has two AMS Mixers, which are simple but
powerful tools for combining and modifying AMS signals.
The two Oscillators also share two Common keyboard
tracking generators, in addition to the dedicated keyboard
tracking for the Filter and Amp.
These pages let you control all of these modulation sources.
Note that when the Oscillator Mode is set to Single, only
Oscillator 1's AMS Mixers are active; the pages for Oscillator
2 will be grayed out.

The AMS Mixers combine two AMS sources into one, or
process an AMS source to make it into something new.
For instance, they can add two AMS sources together, or use
one AMS source to scale the amount of another. You can also
use them to change the shapes of LFOs and EGs in various
ways, modify the response of realtime controllers, and more.
You can select the output of the AMS mixers as an AMS
source in the same way as an LFO or EQ.
This also means that the original, unmodified inputs to the
AMS Mixers are still available as well. For instance, if you
use LFO1 as an input to a AMS Mixer, you can use the
processed version of the LFO to control one AMS
destination, and the original version to control another.
Finally, you can cascade the two AMS Mixers together, by
using AMS Mixer 1 as an input to AMS Mixer 2.

Mixer Type [A+B, Amt AxB, Offset, Smoothing,
This controls the type of processing performed by AMS
Mixer 1. Each of the Mixer Types is discussed in detail over
the next several pages.
A+B adds two AMS sources together. For more information,
please see "A+B" on page 70.
Amt Ax B scales the amount of one AMS source with the
other. For more information, please see "Amt AxB" on
page 71.
Offset adds or subtracts a constant value to or from an AMS
source. For more information, please see "Offset" on
page 71.
Smoothing specifies the smoothness of movement between
two values. You can use this to smooth sudden changes such
as an abrupt movement of the KYBD-61/73/88's joystick or

sharp angle of the LFO. For more information, please see
"Smoothing" on page 72.
Shape adds curvature to the AMS input. For more
information, please see "Shape" on page 72.
Quantize turns smooth transitions into discrete steps. For
more information, please see "Quantize" on page 73.
Gate Control uses a third AMS source to switch between
two AMS inputs (or a fixed value). For more information,
please see "Gate Control" on page 73.

A+B merges two AMS sources into one. This can be handy
when you need to add one more modulation source to a
parameter, but you've already used up all of the available
AMS slots.
For instance, let's say that you're using an LFO to modulate
Filter Resonance, and then you decide that it would be
interesting to scale that parameter with an EG as well.
Resonance has only a single AMS input, but you can easily
merge the LFO and the EG together using the A+B AMS
Mixer:
1. Assign the LFO to AMS A.
2. Assign the EG to AMS B.
3. Assign the AMS Mixer as the Filter Resonance AMS
source.
