active when you initially call up a Voice is a 

function of the [CONTROL FUNCTION] section and 
is programmable per Voice. When set to VOL, as 

below, the Sliders will send System Exclusive 

messages to control the Element levels within the 

Voice. (When selected in a Performance the 
Sliders control Voice levels with the Performance). 

When in a MASTER Setup you will most likely 

select ZONE as the active row making the Sliders 
then programmable per Master setup. 

 

 
Control Sets Summary: 

Each AWM2 (sample-

based) S90 ES Voice has six Control Setups where 

a physical controller, called the Source, is 
assigned a specific controllable parameter, called 

the Destination (DEST) and a Depth value that 

determines how much effect the controller will 

have. This flexible system will enable the user to 
tailor the sensitivity of each controller’s 

movement. Sensitivity or Depth refers to how far 

you move the controller to get a desired result. 
This is an important setting because you want to 

be comfortable working the controller while you 

perform. 
 

The destinations are listed in detail on page 36 of 

the Data List booklet that comes with your S90 

ES. They include Voice volume, reverb send, 
chorus send, and some 26 Insertion Effect 

parameters (not all Insertion Effect parameters 

are real time controllable). And if you are dealing 
with the internal sample-based Voices, an array of 

Common and individual Element parameters like 

filter cutoff, resonance, LFO speed and depth, 
tuning, key on delay, Pan position, Pitch, Filter 

and Amplitude envelopes, etc., etc., can be 

programmed. PLG1, PLG2 and PLG3 Voices will be 

able  to  be  assigned  to  volume,  reverb  send, 
chorus send and the 26 possible Insertion Effect 

parameters, 

only

.  

 
Each PLG-series board may have controller sets of 

their own, depending on the technology involved – 

these will be programmed in the PLG Voice Editor 
software. For example, if you program (using the 

provided AN Expert Editor) a PLG150-AN Voice to 

respond to cc16 for filter cutoff and cc17 for filter 

resonance, it will have its ‘virtual analog’ filter 
controlled by the S90 ES Assign 1 / 2. 

 

Note: PLG150-series 

Plug-in Voices will have a 

different set of Controller Set screens in the S90 

ES (explained below). Also, look in the Voice 

Editors for additional assignable controller 
routings. For example, the PLG150-AN has some 8 

AC (assignable control devices) and 15 Control 

Sets available. The PLG150-AN is based on the 

AN1x keyboard synth, which had 8 front panel 
assignable knobs AC1-AC8. You can reassign as 

many as you wish to your available S90 ES 

physical controllers. Each board will have a 
different controller setup arrangement depending 

on the technology involved. 

 
PLG150 Series boards are single PART boards and 

have two kinds of Voices: PLUG-IN and BOARD. 

PLUG-IN Voices are those that have been 

integrated with S90 ES Effects and Controller 
routings (discussed below). BOARD Voices are 

resident on the Board itself and have not yet been 

integrated with the host parameters (hopefully 
you will customize them to your liking). Each 

board comes with a different amount of Board 

Voices for you to build PLUG-IN Voice and the S90 
ES gives you 64 blank USER locations for you to 

place them. 

 

The PLG150 Voices will have the following 
additional Controller (CTL) screens that will let 

you route controllers to the following areas: 

 

Modulation Wheel Assignment: 

In each S90 ES 

PLG150 Voice you can assign MW to directly 

control the Filter (cutoff/resonance); Pitch 

Modulation (PMod) – vibrato; Filter Modulation 
(FMod) – wah-wah; and Amplitude Modulation 

(AMod) - tremolo.  

 

Aftertouch Assignment: 

Aftertouch can be 

assigned to Filter, Pitch Mod, Filter Mod, 
Amplitude Mod and the direct control of Pitch with 

(AT) key pressure 

 

Assignable Controller: 

For each PLG150 Voice 

you will find a screen for an Assignable Control – 
AC Control.  Here you can pick a device (physical 

controller) or control change number to do various 

tasks: Control the Filter, Pitch Modulation, Filter 
Modulation, and Amplitude Modulation. These will 

enable the user to customize routing for the 

PLG150 Voices.
