Diverse modulation settings

(AMS and AMS mixer)

Using AMS

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) lets you modulate

program parameters using controllers, EG, or LFO as the

modulation source. Extremely creative types of modulation

are possible; for example, you can use a single controller to

simultaneously modulate multiple parameters, or you can

use an EG to modulate an LFO’s frequency and then use that

LFO to modulate a filter.

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) refers to any of the

assignable modulation sources in KROSS, including:

• Controllers of the KROSS itself, such as the modulation

wheel, the pitch bend wheel, and SW 1/2

• Incoming MIDI controllers

• Modulators such as the Filter, Pitch, and Amp EGs, the

LFOs, or the AMS Mixers

Intensity is a parameter that sets the degree (speed, depth,

amount etc.) of how AMS will control the modulation.

A number of frequently-used modulation routings, such as

using the modulation wheel or the pitch bend wheel to vary

the pitch, are provided as additional, dedicated routings,

separate from AMS.

Note that not all AMS sources may be available for some

modulation destinations.

For details on alternate modulation and AMS, please see

below.

the Parameter Guide

• “LFO1/2” on page 43

Using the AMS Mixers

The AMS Mixers combine two AMS sources into one, or

process an AMS source to make it into something new.

For example, this lets you use an LFO to modulate a filter’s

resonance while also modulating it by an EG. Although

resonance has only one AMS input, using the AMS mixer

makes this possible. You could also do things such as using

the filter EG to control the amount of LFO1. The wide

variety of other possibilities include using the modulation

wheel to control the amount of pitch EG, allowing the pitch

bend wheel to apply bend only to notes played while you

hold down the foot switch.

The AMS Mixer outputs appear in the list of AMS sources,

just like the LFOs and EGs. An AMS mixer’s output signal

can be used to modulate a variety of parameters.

This also means that the original, unmodified inputs to the

AMS Mixers are still available as well. For instance, if you

use LFO 1 as an input to an AMS Mixer, you can use the

processed version of the LFO to control one AMS

destination, and the original version to control another.

Finally, you can cascade the two AMS Mixers together, by

using AMS Mixer 1 as an input to AMS Mixer 2.

For details, please see “12: P–AMS MIXER” on page 45 of

the Parameter Guide.

Tips for using AMS

When adjusting settings for alternate modulation, think of

the effect that you wish to produce, what type of modulation

will be necessary to produce that effect, and what parameter

of the oscillator, filter, or amplifier needs to be controlled.

Next, select a source AMS and set the Intensity. If you

proceed logically in this way, you will achieve the desired

effect.

For example in a guitar sound program where you want to

use the modulation wheel to control the feedback, you would

select assignments where the modulation wheel controls the

filter frequency and resonance.

Controller Setup page

For each program, the function of the SW1 and SW2 buttons

can be assigned in the P-INPUT/CTRL> CONTROLLERS

page.

For details, please see “Setting the functions of SW1 and

SW2” on page 44.

During last night's gig, my Kross 2 started changing "Favorites" - one after the other - switching through the banks and sounds, while I was playing. What could cause that. It didn't do it all the time, just every now and then at random. Submitted on 4-9-2022 at 00:59
