EXi: STR-1 Plucked String
Constant Time means that Portamento will always take the
same amount of time to glide from one note to another,
regardless of the difference in pitch. This is especially useful
when playing chords, since it ensures that each note in the
chord will end its glide at the same time.
Time
This controls the portamento time. Higher values mean
longer times, for slower changes in pitch. When Time is set
to 0, the pitch will be reached instantly–just as if Portamento
Enable was turned Off.
AMS
This selects an AMS source to control the Portamento
Time. For a list of AMS sources, see "Alternate Modulation
Source (AMS) List" on page 901.
The modulation occurs only at note-on. This means that you
can change the time for the next pitch glide, but you can't
change any glides which are already in progress.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the Portamento
Time AMS modulation.
4–7c: LFO
LFO Select
This selects an LFO to modulate the String's pitch.
The LFO Intensity, JS+ Y Intensity, and AMS are all
summed together to produce the final amount of LFO pitch
modulation.
LFO Intensity
This controls the initial effect of the LFO on the pitch, in
semitones, before any JS+Y or AMS modulation.
Negative (–) settings will invert the phase of the LFO.
Both the String and PCM Pitch LFO Intensities are scaled by
MIDI CC#77.
JS+Y Intensity
Moving the joystick "up" from the center detent position,
away from yourself, produces the JS+Y controller. You can
use this to scale the amount of the LFO applied to the pitch.
This parameter sets the maximum amount of LFO
modulation added by JS+Y, in semitones.
As this value is increased, moving the joystick in the +Y
direction will cause the LFO to produce deeper pitch
modulation.
Negative (–) settings will invert the phase of the LFO. You
can also use this to reduce the initial amount of the LFO, as
set by LFO1 Intensity, above.
AMS
This selects an AMS modulation source to scale the amount
of the LFO applied to pitch.
For a list of AMS sources, see "Alternate Modulation Source
(AMS) List" on page 901.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the LFO AMS
modulation, in semitones.

4–7d: Pitch EG
EG Select
This selects an EG to modulate the String pitch.
There are four assignable EGs, in addition to the Amp EG.
Each of these can be used as a modulation source to control a
wide variety of parameters.
In the midst of all this flexibility, we thought it would also be
good to provide a little structure. With this in mind, EG 1 is
named EG 1 (Filter) and EG 2 is labeled EG 2 (Pitch).
Please take these names as suggestions, rather than
restrictions. If you like, you're free to use these EGs to
control any EG or AMS destination, or to use other EGs to
control Filter Frequency and Pitch.
Intensity
This controls the initial effect of the Pitch EG on the String,
in half-steps, before any AMS modulation.
The Pitch EG's shape can swing all the way from +99 to -99.
When the Intensity is set to a positive (+) value, positive
values from the EG raise the pitch, and negative values
lower the pitch.
When the Intensity is set to a negative (-) value, the effect of
the EG is reversed; positive EG values mean lower pitches,
and negative EG values mean higher pitches.
AMS
This selects an AMS modulation source to scale the amount
of the Pitch EG applied to the String.
For a list of AMS sources, see "Alternate Modulation Source
(AMS) List" on page 901.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the pitch EG AMS
modulation. The AMS modulation and the initial Intensity
are added together to determine the Pitch EG's final effect.
4–7e: Pitch Modulation
AMS 1
This selects the first modulation source for controlling the
String's pitch. For a list of AMS sources, see "Alternate
Modulation Source (AMS) List" on page 901.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS 1 pitch
modulation, in semitones.
Intensity Mod AMS
You can modulate AMS 1's Intensity from another AMS
source. This selects that source.
Intensity
This controls the depth and direction of the Intensity Mod
AMS, in semitones. The result is summed with the main
AMS 1 Intensity to produce the final pitch modulation
amount.
