of the envelope scales the durations between 0–100% of the
minimum duration length and that value. The minimum
and maximum duration values depend on the "Duration
Mode" setting in the Duration Group. For more information,
please see "Duration Group" on page 543.
5: [RT] Repeat Time
Controls an overall shortening of the repeat time that is
selected for use in the Melodic Repeat Group. In other
words, the normal calculated repeat time becomes the
maximum time, and the shape of the envelope scales the
repeat time between 0–100% of 1 ms and that value. For
example, if the Repeat Rhythm Value was set to a 16th note
at 120 BPM, the repeat time would be 125 ms for each note.
A Repeat Time Envelope would vary the envelope's range
of 0–99 between 1 ms and 125 ms. This can provide
interesting "bouncing" delay effects with repeats of the
same pitch on drum and perc sounds, among other unique
effects.
Poly Extend, Poly Extend/Damped, Mono Extend:
The Duration Envelope only affects notes that have
durations shorter than the current Rhythm Pattern value (as
specified by the Duration Pattern Grid), since the other
notes will be auto-extending to the next note or next
occurrence of the same note. For the shorter notes, the
length of the Duration Pattern Value represents the
maximum duration, and the envelope's 0–99 range
represents 0–100% of that value, with 1 ms being the
minimum duration. To adjust the minimum duration, you
would adjust the envelope's level settings to only move
between the higher values, i.e. 50–99.
Timed
(Duration Value range: 1...5000 ms)
The Duration Value represents the maximum duration in
milliseconds, and the envelope's 0–99 range represents 0–
100% of that value. For example, if the Duration Value field
is set to 250 ms, then the envelope shapes the durations from
1 ms to 250 ms over its 0–99 range. To make the durations go
from 125 ms to 250 ms, you would adjust the envelope's
level settings so that it moves from 50–99 (50%–100%).
Rhythm Overlap, Pattern Overlap
(Duration Value range: –500...500 ms)
The Duration Value represents the maximum overlap or gap
(in milliseconds) between successive notes, and the
envelope's 0–99 range represents 0–100% of that value. For
example, if the Duration Value field is set to +20, then the
envelope shapes the durations from –500 ms to +20 ms over
its 0–99 range. To adjust the minimum duration, you would
adjust the envelope's level settings to only move between
the higher values, i.e. 50–99.
Rhythm %, Pattern %
(Duration Value range: 1...800 %)
The Duration Value represents the maximum percentage of
the current Rhythm Pattern Value, and the envelope's 0–99
range represents 0–100% of that value. For example, if the
Duration Value field is set to 50%, then the envelope shapes
the durations from 1% to 50% of the Rhythm Pattern Value
over its 0–99 range. To make the durations go from 25% to
50%, you would adjust the envelope's level settings so that
it moves from 50–99 (50%–100%).
6...100: [#00...#95] CCs (Control Change)
Send the selected CC value according to the shape of the
envelope - the envelope's range of 0–99 is scaled into 0–127
and sent as the selected controller. This is especially useful
when you loop the envelopes to get slow, sweeping LFO
effects, for controlling various tone generation
characteristics on synthesizers and effects devices that
support this type of control. Note that for looping to work,
you must set the Loop On and Envelope Latch modes (see
Envelope Group Parameters
"Envelope Latch" on page 89) properly - see the "Loop
Mode" parameter below.
The following Level and Time parameters may also be
controlled in various combinations by parameters discussed
later on in this section.
Start Level
The level at which the envelope begins when triggered.
Attack Time
The time it will take to reach the "Attack Lvl (Attack
Level)." This is a portion of the overall time setting specified
in the "Time Scale" parameter described below.
Attack Level
The first level which the envelope reaches in the amount of
time specified by "Attack Time."
Decay Time
The time it will take to reach the "Sustain Lev (Sustain
Level)" from the Attack Level. This is a portion of the overall
time setting specified in the "Time Scale" parameter
described below.
Sustain Level
The second level which the envelope reaches in the amount
of time specified by "Decay Time." The envelope will
remain at this level until the keys depressed on the keyboard
are released, or some other function causes the envelope to
enter the Release Phase.
Release Time
The time it will take to reach the "Rel. Level (Release Level)"
once the Release Phase is triggered. This is a portion of the
overall time setting specified in the "Time Scale" parameter
described below.
Release Level
The final level the envelope reaches in the amount of time
specified by "Rel. Time (Release Level)."
Amplitude Amount
Represents the maximum level that the envelope will reach.
The rest of the envelope is scaled accordingly. For example,
if this is set to 50, the envelope's output will be half what the
other parameter specify.
Time Scale
0: R-Riff Length
1...10: 1 to 10 seconds in 1 second increments
Specifies the overall amount of time that each segment will
take when set to its maximum value. The envelopes in
KARMA GE are 3 segment envelopes; they have an attack
segment, decay segment, and release segment. For example,
if the attack segment time ("Attack time") was set to 99 and
the "Time Scale" to 1 second, the attack segment will take
1000 ms; if "Attack time" was set to 50, then the attack
segment will take 500 ms. If the times of all 3 segments were
set to 99, the total time of the envelope would be
approximately 3 seconds (not taking into account any time
spent at the sustain level). When set to 0: R-Riff Length, the
Time Scale is automatically scaled to the length of the
Generated Effect. This can be useful for such things as harp
glissandos, where supplying more/less notes as input will
cause the resulting envelopes to be slower/faster. Note that
if the Phase "Length Mode" is set to 1: TS-Time Signature,
then the length of a Phase is determined by the Time
Signature and not the number of notes played, so the results
of setting this to 0: R-Riff Length may not be noticeable in
that case.
