Korg PS 3200 - 3. Dynamic Low -Pass Filters (DLPF)
The Peak emphasises resonance at the cut-off point.
The KBD filter balance:
This adjusts the Fc of each of the keys independent LP filters over a rising or falling slope corresponding to the scale of the keyboard.
Expand:
This adjusts the degree to which the EM (envelope modifier) envelope signal affects the Fc.
The EM section is on the right of the filter. ... a standard ADSR.
MG1 or S/H modulation intensity
Like the one to the right which effects the SGs, this adjusts the depth of modulation from
MG1 & the S/h.

Korg Ps 3200 - 5. Equalizer (EQ)
It's made up of 7 octave bands.
They are used to control the tone colour of the whole sound... not each key.
The bands are 125, 250, 500, 1K, 2K,4K, 8K Hz.

Access Virus - Basic Intro
Korg PS 3200 - 4. Envelope Modifier (EM)
This can be very confusing at first.
The most obvious one to explore is the EM. This is directly to the right of the filter.
It's a combination of VCA & EG (envelope generator).
The VCA varies the volume of the sound coming from the filter.
It is voltage controlled by the ADSR .envelope.
The envelope is triggered whenever a key is pressed.
(on the keyboard).
There are also some external jacks.
So external controllers (like a PS-3040) ... for the attack.
or a RS-3040 for the release.
I think you can also use a S-type foot switch ???
tHESE external S-triggers (for the release) start high (+5V & short to ground).
Moog & Yamaha also use such triggers.... worth experimenting.
The attack is interesting ... a -5V to +5V signal.
The overall VCA is controlled by a 0V to +5V signal.
Above these jacks is a modulation balance knob.
It appears that just like the SG & filter, the MG-1 & S/H can modulate this VCA.
A secondary function of the EM:
The EM (envelope modifier) envelope signal also effects the Fc of the filter
This is an impt concept to grasp.
Because the ADSR envelope is tied to both the VCA and the filter, an EXPAND effect is produced.
The Expand knob is part of the filter section.

"Helium II. That's all our monsters are."
"Check them for contaminants."
"For what?"
"Contaminants. My body is hydrogen oxide with contaminants. If the contaminants in the helium are complex enough, it might be alive."
"There are plenty of other substances".
