Notes on Amp Modulation

Amp modulation scales the Amp

Level

and Amp Envelope. The final volume is determined by multiplying these by

any additional modulation sources, with an upper limit of 2x the original level. If the original level is low, the
maximum modulated volume will also be low.

Tip:

To start with a low level (or silence) and then use modulation to raise the level to maximum, use the Filter

Output

Level

instead.

Level

[0%…100%]

This sets the basic volume of the Program, optimized for per-voice modulation. For adjusting the volumes of Programs
within a Performance, it’s better to use Layer

Volume

instead.

Amp LFO

(INTENSITY)

[–100%…+100%]

This controls the amount of modulation from the Amp LFO.

Velocity

(VELOCITY)

[–100%…+100%]

With

positive (+)

values, the volume increases as you play harder.

With

negative (–)

values, the volume decreases as you play harder.
