Q What is AMS and Effect Dynamic Modulation?

The Joystick, Ribbon controller, knobs, etc. are all used to control the sound in various ways. This is called
AMS or Alternate Modulation Source. As you play, and even as you record into the internal – or an external
sequencer, AMS can be used in realtime to control the sound. External MIDI data can also control the TRITON’s AMS and effect functions. The Insert and Master effects are also controlled by Effect Dynamic Modulation.

Tip: As you go through the Programs and Combinations in TRITON, make sure to try the various controllers! Every Program has many controller functions already programmed, plus you’ll find lots more controller info and AMS and Dynamic Modulation in the Owner’s manuals! All Program Play pages provide you with quick visual information about SW1 & 2, the realtime Control Knob B-mode functions, and the Insert / Master effects – another great feature of Touchview! Switch 2 is frequently programmed to lock the Joystick -Y and Ribbon positions simultaneously. While playing, move the Joystick towards you (-Y), and then press SW2 to lock the position. Then continue to play and work with the Ribbon – tap or slide your finger on it and each new Ribbon position will lock as well! For many synth, pad, motion, bass and lead sounds, moving and locking JS-Y often produces “syncable” LFO modulation that also will sync with the arpeggiator. After locking JS-Y, use the Switches, Ribbon, Knobs, and slider to inject magic into the motion.
