Suggestions on using AMS
Whenmakingsettingsforalternatemodulation,think
oftheeffectthatyouwishtoproduce,whattypeof
modulationwillbenecessarytoproducethateffect,
andwhatparameteroftheoscillator,filter,oramplifier

Next,selectasource(AMS)andsettheIntensity.If
youproceedlo
