Keygroup Pitch/Amplitude Modulation - Akai S3000XL User Manual

EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE

KEYGROUP PITCH/AMPLITUDE MODULATION

The final page in PROGRAM EDIT is where you may assign modulation to pitch and
amplitude for individual keygroups. This is accessed via the KGRP page by pressing
. You will receive this screen display:
Along the top of the screen we have the usual parameters for selecting the keygroup and
the program. The other parameters on this page are:
NOTE: If you wish to use LFO1 for some other modulation application such as filter
sweeps, panning, etc., you will need to turn this value to 00 otherwise pitch will also be
modulated unless, of course, that's what you want.

This is a fixed, preset assignment that routes the LFO to
pitch. Unlike virtually every other modulation input we have
seen so far, this one is fixed in order to maintain
compatibility between other Akai samplers. It is also done
to allow ease of use when setting up vibrato.
The range for this parameter is +/-50 allowing inverted
pitch effects to be created (especially useful when using
square and sawtooth waves) and the default for this
parameter is +50. This means that the modwheel is always
active for vibrato without you needing to program or set
anything up on LFO1. It also means you only have to set a
value in the depth field of the LFO1 page to have a
constant vibrato.
It is not possible to route any other controllers in this field.
This is a freely assignable modulation input and any
source may be selected here. ENV2 is selected as the
default again as means of ensuring compatibility between
the older samplers and the S3000XL. Feel free to route
anything you like to this field. Some suggestions are:

S1000 and S1100 to ensure compatibility between
different samplers' sound disks. You may of course, assign
anything you want here. Some ideas are LFO1 or LFO2 for
tremolo effects (try layering keygroups and setting one
keygroup to a positive value and the other to a negative
value to create undulating crossfades between two
samples). Any of the MIDI controllers such as modwheel,
pressure, bend, etc., may also be used to control
loudness.
