Alternate Modulation Source (AMS)
Alternate Modulation Overview
Alternate Modulation Sources
Alternate Modulation lets you use controllers, envelopes,
LFOs, etc. to modulate Program parameters. You can use
one controller to modulate multiple parameters simultane‐
ously. You can also create complex modulation setups in
which (for example) an envelope modulates the frequency
of an LFO, and that LFO is then used to modulate a filter.
Programs provide 46 types (84 destinations) for alternate
modulation.
AMS Mixers
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 vari‐
ous ways, modify the response of realtime controllers, and
more.
The AMS Mixer outputs appear in the list of AMS sources,
just like the LFOs and EGs.
The original, unmodified inputs to the AMS Mixers are still
available as well. For instance, if you use LFO 1 as an input
to a AMS Mixer, you can use the processed version of the
LFO to control one AMS destination, and the original ver‐
sion to control another.
Finally, you can cascade two AMS Mixers together, by using
one as the input of another.

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. The PS60 keyboard itself does not generate poly
aftertouch, however.
