Sensitivity (PMS, AMS, AME, EBS, KVS)

Press (SENSITIVITY).
(1) PMS (pitch modulation sensitivity)
Function
Determine the overall depth of vibrato
Settings
0 – 7
Explanation
A setting of 0 gives no effect, and a setting of 99 gives
maximum effect.
This determines the overall depth of the vibrato
resulting from the LFO settings for PMD (see page
41) and the pitch settings for each controller.
For details of how to add vibrato, see page 42.
Note:
If PMD and the pitch settings of the controllers
(modulation wheel, breath controller, etc.) are 0, this
PMS setting will have no effect.
(2) AMS (amplitude modulation sensitivity)
Function
Determine the overall depth of tremolo or wah.
Settings
0 – 3
Explanation
A setting of 0 gives no effect, and a setting of 99 gives
maximum effect.
This determines the overall depth of the tremolo
or wah resulting from the LFO settings for AMD (see
page 42) and the amplitude settings for each con-
troller. For details of how to add tremolo or wah,
see page 42.
Note:
If operator output levels are set extremely low, this
AMS setting will not have very much effect.
(3) AME (amplitude modulation enable)
Function
Determine which operators will be affected by am-
plitude modulation.
Settings
off, on
Explanation
This determines the operators that will be affected
by amplitude modulation. Repeatedly press
step through the operators, and program the values
for each.
If AME is turned on for an operator that is acting
as a carrier, tremolo (change in volume) will result.
If AME is turned on for an operator that is acting
as a modulator, wah (change in tone) will result.
Note:
If AMS is 0, there will be no effect even if AME is
turned on. In the same way, even if AMS is raised,
there will be no effect if AME is turned off.
This AMS setting will have no effect unless AMD
or the amplitude value for one or more controllers
(modulation wheel, breath controller, etc.) is raised.
Some settings may cause small amounts of noise.
(4) EBS (EG bias sensitivity)
Function
Allow aftertouch or breath controller to affect tone
and volume.
Settings
0 - 7
Explanation
A setting of 0 gives no effect, and a setting of 7 gives
maximum effect.
When using using aftertouch or breath controller
to modify the volume or tone, raise this setting. (This
is not a repeating change like tremolo or wah.) For
example if this setting is raised for an operator that
is acting as a modulator, and the aftertouch AT EG
Bias setting is raised, pressing down on the keyboard
after playing a note (i.e., "aftertouch") would affect
the tone.
This EG bias sensitivity setting is made inde-
pendently for each of the four operators. Repeatedly
press to step through operators
and program the values for each.
