EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE

Page 56 S3000XL Operator’s Manual

EWI MIDI wind synthesiser will no doubt be able to use this function to

great effect when playing the S3000XL directly from the EWI and

selecting BREATH.

Velocity This selects velocity as the controller.

Key This selects keyboard position as the modulation control source.

Lfo1 This selects LFO 1 as the modulation source. LFO1 may also be a

modulation destination and it is possible to modulate its rate, depth and

delay.

Lfo2 No prizes for guessing that this selects LFO 2 as the modulation source.

Env1 This selects the ADSR amplitude envelope, ENV1, as the modulation

source.

Env2 This selects the multi-stage ENV 2 as the controller.

! Modwheel This selects the current position of the modwheel at the time of note-on as

the current controller. Moving it whilst the note is held will have no effect - it

is only its position at the point of note-on that has the effect.

! Bend As above, this selects the current position of the bend wheel at note-on as

the controller.

! External This selects the current position of an external MIDI controller at the point

of note-on as the modulation source. The choices you have for external

MIDI control are breath (cntrl#2), footpedal (cntrl#4) and volume (cntrl#7).

These are selected in the MIDI mode.

All of these are available to be routed in any amount to virtually any source which include

filter cutoff, LFO 1 rate, depth and delay, overall program amplitude and keygroup

amplitude, pitch and pan position. To select them, you simply move the cursor to the

modulation input field found on every module and scroll through the list.

All of these are available to be routed in any amount to virtually any source which include

filter cutoff, LFO1 rate, depth and delay, overall program amplitude and keygroup

amplitude, pitch and pan position. Modulation sources may be mixed at each ‘modules’

input to further expand the possibilities available and each control input may be inverted

for even more flexibility. These modulation sources are routed to their destinations in a

group of pages at the end of the program

Each keygroup has these modulation facilities available separately allowing an enormous

amount of flexibility and this, combined with the all the other PROGRAM EDIT functions

should keep you happy for a long time!

At first, the modulation system may seem a little difficult and maybe even confusing. Don’t

worry - if you are not into programming you can largely forget about it and just use the

defaults. Similarly, if you do not like synthesisers and prefer instead to use the S3000XL

for the reproduction of high quality samples of acoustic instruments again, you need not

concern yourself with these functions. If, however, you are one those who likes to

experiment with sound and tweak those knobs, we feel sure you will appreciate the

flexibility of this method.
