Korg 2E ii Manuel D’Utilisation

 is a type of modulation that can 

be used to control various aspects of the sound.

 refers to any of 

the numerous sources that can control alternate modu-
lation, and includes controllers that you operate physi-
cally such as the joystick and realtime controllers, 
incoming MIDI data, as well as modulators such as the 
EG or LFO.
Since this instrument allows you apply modulation to 
a modulator, this type of control is referred to as “alter-
nate modulation.”

 is a parameter that sets the degree (speed or 

depth) to which AMS will control alternate modula-
tion.

Combinations of modulations that are frequently used 
in on the synthesizer. performance (such as using the 
joystick to vary the pitch) are also provided as special 
parameters separately from alternate modulation.

This instrument provides 29 types of alternate modula-
tion.
In single mode you can use 29 alternate modulation 
destinations of 29 types, and in double mode you can 
use 55 alternate modulation destinations of 29 types.
There are 42 AMS sources. (However depending on the 
type of modulation, some sources cannot be selected.)
For details on alternate modulation and AMS, refer to 
PG p.215.

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 
needs to be controlled. Then select a source (“AMS”) 
and set the “Intensity.” If you proceed logically in this 
way, you will achieve the desired effect.

For example if you want to “control a guitar-like sound 
so that it appears to be approaching feedback when the 
joystick is moved away,” you will make settings so that 
the joystick controls filter modulation or the resonance 
level.

This function automatically applies the settings of the 
current program or combination to a new song in the 
sequencer.
If inspiration for a phrase or song strikes you while 
you’re playing a program or combination, you can use 
this function to start recording immediately.
Hold down the [ENTER] key and press the 
SEQUENCER [REC/WRITE] key. The “Setup to 
Record” dialog box will open and ask “Are you sure?”. 
Press [F8] (“OK”) key. You will automatically enter 
Sequencer mode, and will be in the record-ready state. 
Press the [START/STOP] key to start the sequencer 
and begin recording.
