PolysixEX Tutorials for the Kronos

Hi jeremykeys,

Thanks

About your pitch bend question for the PolysixEX:
I found in the parameter guide on page 330 that
"To use another AMS source for pitch bend, modulate the TRANSPOSE or TUNE parameters instead.
BEND RANGE is not modulatable via AMS.
PITCH BEND RANGE is not modulatable via AMS."

Mini tutorial - different pitch bend values

Try the following with the AMS Mixer:

• Go to tab AMS Mixer.
  Of AMS Mixer1 under section A + B select for AMS A: JS+Y and set amount to, say +20 (or +10)
  For AMS B: JS-Y and set amount -50.
  Go to tab Main and select the TUNE knob of the PolysixEX.
  In the little grey window (bottom right) set for AMS: AMS Mixer1.
  and Intensity: + 10.00.
  Play a note and move the joystick up and down.
  There you have it.

Even better maybe:

• for a bigger change, you can set the AMS for the TRANSPOSE knob to AMS Mixer1, instead of TUNE.
  Intensity: +10.00 (higher values are possible but give a very big change).

You just have to find the right settings between the above Intensity and the Amounts of the A + B (AMS Mixer tab).

With this method you can pitch bend 2 octaves for sure.

I hope this helps.

Hi MarPabl,

Very useful!
Thanks for sharing
I didn't know about this post (well now I do).

Thanks a bunch guys!

I've always loved the sheer versatility of the Polysix and since I now have one in my Kronos, life is even better.
The one thing I've always missed is the ability to decide just how I want the pitch wheel to adjust pitch in either direction.
Now I can! Welcome to the 21st century!

Thanks again!
