The amp (amplifier) section
The amp (amplifier) menu
After the sound has been filtered, it goes through an amplification stage which can function as a
compressor under user control. In general, this smooths the volume of the sound, but also the
dynamic range. The amplifier of the POLYMORPH also has it's own envelope, which controls the
compressor attack and release behaviour. The amp menu of the POLYMORPH not only has the
controllable amplifier (VCA) and its envelope, but also the volume and panpot of the mixer. The
latter lie in the signal path behind the VCA and the 4 effects.
If you find yourself in another menu, push [EXIT] twice. Push [EDIT] to get into the editing menu
selection.
By using [PAGE<>] select page 2. The display shows:

|1> MixVol: 127
MIX VOLUME: MENU PAGE 1
This parameter equals the <MIX-VOL1-4> in the mixer section. The mix volume is important for
setting the volume of the four synthesizers into the right relationship. That's why the mix volume
will not be stored in sounds, but only in the setup.
PANORAMA: MENU PAGE 2
On the second menu page you can adjust the L/R pan position for the selected synthesizer part.
You can adjust the sound's amplitude balance between the left and right channel outputs.
Edit Part1 AMP
<2> Panorama: +0
This function is not available in single output mode. The pan position is stored in setups, but not in
the individual sound memories.
VCA LEVEL: MENU PAGE 3
On the third menu page you can adjust the basic volume of the sound. This parameter will be
stored in sound memory. Because of the differences during sound programming you can correct
the volume in the basic sound here.

<3>VCA-Lev: 127
VCA KEY DYNAMIC: MENU PAGE 4
On the fourth menu page you can decide if the VCA compressor responds to your key velocity:
