You may wonder - what if the Program uses more than one
Wave Sequence, and each is sending out different AMS
values? Not to worry. Under the hood, each Wave Sequence
actually has its own complete voice structure, which allows
the AMS values to be different for each one.
Modulating individual steps with the AMS Mixer
You can combine the Wave Sequence AMS Outputs with the
AMS Mixer to modulate individual steps. For instance, you
can set up SW1 to mute a particular step. We’ll start by
assuming that you have already set OSC1 to play the Wave
Sequence. Then:
1. On the Wave Sequence Step Parameters page, set step
1’s AMS Out1 to 127.
2. Set AMS Out1 for all other steps to 0.
3. Go to the AMS Mix 1 tab of the AMS Mix/C.KeyTrk
page.
4. On AMS Mixer 1, set the Type to Amt A x B.
5. For AMS A, select Wave Seq AMS Out 1.
6. Set the AMS A Amount to 00.
7. For AMS B, select SW 1 Mod (CC#80).
8. Set the AMS B Amount to +99.
9. Go to the Amp 1 Mod tab of the Amp/EQ page.
10.Under Amp Modulation, set the AMS source to AMS
Mixer 1.
11.Under the AMS source selection, set the Intensity to –
99.
SW1 will now mute and un-mute step 1. You can use this
same technique for any per-step modulation.

Using rhythmic Wave Sequences
Creating rhythmic Wave Sequences
To create a rhythmic Wave Sequence:
1. On the Seq Parameters page, set the Mode to Tempo.
This makes the Wave Sequence synchronize to the system
tempo, as set by either the Tempo knob or MIDI Clock.
2. Set Run to On.
This is the default setting; the Wave Sequence will move
from step to step automatically.
3. Select the Multisamples that you’d like to use, and set
the Start, End, and Loop Start/End steps as desired.
4. Set the Loop Repeats to INF.
This will make the sequence repeat as long as you hold the
note.
5. On the Step Parameters page, use the Base Note and
Multiply (“x”) parameters to set the rhythmic values
for each step.
For instance, to create a dotted eighth note, set the Base Note
to 1/16, and Multiply (“x”) to 3.
6. Set the Step Xfade times to relatively short values,
such as 0–5 ms.
This preserves the initial transients of the samples.
7. To create pauses in the rhythm, set the Step Type to
Rest.
Doubling or halving the rhythmic pulse
You may sometimes want to slow down a 16th-note rhythm
so that it becomes 8th-notes instead, or vice versa. The /2
and x2 buttons make this easy.
Press the /2 button to cut the Base Note and/or Multiply
settings in half, so that 1/4 notes become 1/8 notes, 1/8 notes
become 1/16 notes, and so on.
Press the x2 button to multiply the Base Note and/or
Multiply settings by two, so that 1/8 notes become 1/4
notes, 1/4 notes become 1/2 notes, and so on.
Note: these buttons only appear when the Mode is set to
Tempo.
