EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE
The effect the loudness modulation parameters have on the overall loudness of the
program depends on the modulation source you select. Here are some suggestions:
LFO 1 or 2
Modwheel
Bend
External
These three modulation input sources may be combined and mixed together. When
layering programs in MULTI, identical mod sources in other programs may be inverted for
crossfade effects.
NOTE 1: You will note that if the
level of the S3000XL is at maximum and so you will not hear any effect if one or more
modulation sources are applied.
NOTE 2: In some cases it is possible to overload the S3000XL and cause distortion. This
will normally only happen with particularly loud samples recorded at full level when
excessive modulation is applied. Increasing the filter resonance may also lead to distortion
in some cases. If this happens, back off the

could layer a distorted guitar program and a distorted feedback
program and introduce the feedback element of the sound using
pressure to create a powerful heavy metal guitar.
You can, of course, change the default selection from
to anything you like simply by placing the cursor where it says
and scrolling through the modulation options.
This will impart a tremolo effect on the sound and so is useful for
simulating old rock and roll guitars where this effect was common
in amplifiers. This may also be useful in simulating the tremolo
effect found on organs. It may also be used to simulate the
tremolo effect of woodwind on sustained notes. Using a triangle
wave for modulation, it is particularly good for vibes sounds,
especially those with a static loop. It is probably not suitable to
simulate tremolando strings, however, using LFO modulation. Of
course, it may be used for special effects.
Use this, perhaps, instead of pressure.
Use this instead of pressure or modwheel.
Depending on the selection made in the GLOBAL MIDI page's
main page, you could apply footpedal, volume or breath control to
control the program's overall loudness. The breath option will be
very popular with owners of the Akai EWI MIDI wind controller.
