I created a wavesequence and added some data to the column denoted as AMS Out 1. I wanted to see what I could then modulate with that data.

Then I created a "Double" HD1 program, and assigned that WS as a sound source in OSC 1, and a different multisample in OSC 2.


In testing these, am I correct that then specifying "Wave Seq AMS Out1" as an AMS mod source only affects parameters in OSC1 (which houses the WS)? That the WS can only affect the OSC that it is a part of, and the AMS Out 1 data in the column can't be used to affect OSC2?

Thanks for the help.

This is an excerpt from the “Operation Guide” book for kronos.
Not the same as Parameter guide.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Modulating Program parameters per step
Each step has two AMS Output values. These act kind of like step sequencers, allowing you to modulate any AMS destination in the Program. In other words, virtually any Program-level parameter can have a different setting for each step of the Wave Sequence.
For instance, to adjust the Filter Frequency separately for each step:
1. Select the Program that you’ll use for the Wave Sequence.
2. Go to the Filter Mod 1 tab of the Filter page.
This page has the filter modulation parameters for OSC1.
3. Under Filter A Modulation, set one of the AMS sources to Wave Seq AMS Out1.
4. Set the Intensity as desired.
This means that the AMS 1 output will modulate the Filter Frequency. Now, you just need to set up the Wave Sequence to send values out:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It simply says “Any Program-level Parameter” and even compares it to Step-Sequencer which includes “Common Step-Sequencer”.

Best way to be sure is to try it on a very noticeable parameter, like the filter mentioned above. Then bring the Amp down on each OSC to isolate the sound from each, to see if any OSC is isolated from the AMS Source you ask about.
Program-Level parameters sounds to me like something over all OSC in the program. But i cannot be sure what it means until i try it out.
I would be sure to go to OSC 1 & 2 tab pages and try all the AMS options on the OSC pitch pages.
Those are the only pages with AMS options that are particular to OSC 1 or 2. If it is Program level versus OSC level parameters, then the Wave sequence as source should not even be an available option for AMS on the OSC pitch pages.
It should show up as available source, only on Program-level Parameters which exist outside of any of the OSC 1 or 2 tab pages.

I may be wrong, but my real point here is to explore it based on what the book says and find the right answer based on trying AMS options within OSC tab pages and then trying AMS options outside of OSC tab pages.
I don’t have kronos with me to explore for myself.

Remember, first go to the parameter you want to edit. Look for the corresponding AMS dropdown menu.

In there, you'll see that WavSeq AMS Out can be assigned to it, regardless of which OSC the parameter belongs to.

One fun thing to do with the Wav Seq Out is to assign it to filter cutoff (which is not associated with any OSC).

You can get a Sample and Hold effect if you put the WavSeq steps to random values.

Or you could get a slowly rising filter cutoff if you set the Seq steps to increment slowly.

If you're really feeling adventurous, you could put the filters in parallel, make them both bandpass, and link them with an offset of about 15. Put Filter A's cutoff to about 30-45.

Now, if you use the Wav Seq to move the filter cutoff, you get a talking effect.

I tried again last night to make an OSC1 wavesequence's AMS outputs to affect any parameters on OSC2, but couldn't do it.

Perhaps the AMS mixer is the way.

There are still about 1000 other things I still want to explore on the Kronos, so I'll put it on the back burner. Discovering is where the fun is.

Thanks gentlemen.

Mr Dan Phillips ! Good to see you again around here.

[psionic311]

Alright, I do see now that there is one Pitch EG. And that each OSC has its own Pitch EG parameter area that can be individually set, but that references back the one Pitch EG. What I was able to do was route WS Seq Out 1 to both/either OSC's Pitch EG and LFO. Again, not really musically useful, but there ya go.

Thanks for clarifying, Dan. Been a long time since we've seen you around.
