Envelope Repeat

The Envelope Generator can also be made to repeat. When the envelope
repeat function is On, the Attack (1&2) and Decay (1&2) stages will
continue to repeat as long as the key is held.
To Make the Filter Envelope Repeat:
Go to the Filter Envelope Mode screen shown below.

• Try modulating the pitch with the Filter Envelope generator.
• Use Velocity to modulate the Filter Envelope PatchCord or the Filter
Frequency. This brightens the sound as you play harder.
• Program the LFO to modulate Filter Frequency and Volume (Patch-
Cord screen).
• Modulate the LFO with the other LFO, with Velocity, and with the
Pitch Wheel.
• Examine the Factory presets to learn how they're constructed. There
are lots of cool synthesis tricks you can use in your own presets.
• We've programmed the front panel knobs our way, but since they're
completely programmable there's no reason why you can't create
your own custom controls.
• Think of ten exotic modulation routings, then try them out.
