ESI Operation Manual
An envelope is descried as a contour used to shape a sound over time.
The Auxiliary envelope is a general purpose envelope that can be placed
at any of several points in the Dynamic Processing signal path. This
submodule contains two pages. Page one establishes the auxiliary
envelope destination and amount, and page two determines the AHDSR
envelope characteristics.
1. Activate Dynamic Processing module.
2. Select the submodule Auxiliary Envelope (5).
3. Move the cursor to the parameter(s) to be adjusted, and select
the desired value(s) with the Data Entry Control. The first page
shows:

AUXILIARY ENVELOPE

Dest:
Envelope Amt:
• Destination: determines which parameter will be controlled by the
envelope. These are: Pitch, Pan, LFO rate, or one of the four LFO
destinations (LFO->Pitch, LFO->VCA, LFO->VCF , LFO->Pan).
Using the auxiliary envelope to control pitch gives automatic pitch-
bending. Controlling the LFO rate can increase (or decrease) the
LFO speed over the duration of a note. Adding envelope control to
an LFO destination allows modulation to fade in or out over the
duration of a note.
• Envelope Amt: varies the depth of the envelope' s effect on the
chosen destination. It is variable from -100, the maximum inverted
envelope, through +00 (no effect from the envelope), to +100, the
maximum positive envelope. When using inverted envelopes, it is
usually necessary to raise the LFO depth for the destination selected
in step 5 of Dynamic Processing, 4. LFO.
4. Select page two by pressing the right cursor button. The second
page displays the following parameters for the auxiliary AHDSR
envelope generator:
Aux Attack:
Hold:
Decay:
Sus:100% Rel: 1.04s
The envelope parameters are identical to the VCF and VCA envelopes.
5. Press ENTER to exit the submodule. The ESI returns to the
Module Identifier.
