Korg PS 3200 - 6. Total Signal Modifiers (TSM)

This section comprises
1. Keyboard Volume Balance
2. Amplitude Modulation (AM)
3. Ensemble
4. VCA 1/Preset Volume 
5. VCA 2/Preset Volume


1. Keyboard Volume Balance
This is what we perceive as BRIGHTNESS.
It's the difference in tone between the high and low range of the keyboard.... creates volume differences between different sections of the keyboard.

 2. Amplitude Modulation (AM)
This adjusts the intensity of the amplitude modulation.
This is controlled by MG-1
 It's how you produce effects like tremelo.

Level 5 = 100% modulation
Level 10 = 200% modulation (ring modulation??).


3. Ensemble
Creates the effect of many instruments playing together.

 4. VCA 1/Preset Volume 
Controls the volume as determined by the PRE VOL knob or and external CV signal
The position of the PRE VOL knob is stored in the preset memory.

The external CV signal must be 0 to +5V

5. VCA 2/Preset Volume
This is connected to the voltage processors, via the red internal patch switch.
