Use the Env to determine the amount of influence the filter envelope has on the cutoff frequency. Higher
settings will increase the modulation of the filter by the envelope; lower settings will result in only subtle
changes of the filter Cutoff over time.
Tip: To give a sound a more distinctive attack, increase the Env setting and set low Atk and Decay
values as well as a medium-low Sust value of the Filter Envelope. This will start a sound with the filter
opened and close it shortly afterward, giving it a bright start followed by a darker sustain. String sounds,
on the other hand, can sound much more "alive" with low Env settings and a high Atk value, resulting in
a slight fade-in of the higher frequencies.
Use the Modulation Sources knobs to set how much velocity is required to modulate certain other
parameters:
•
Vel>Sta (Velocity Start) sets how much velocity is needed (for a triggered pad) to modulate the
sample startpoint.
•
Vel>Atk (Velocity Attack) sets how much velocity is needed (for a triggered pad) to modulate the
Attack phase for the Amp envelope.
•
Vel>Env (Velocity Envelope) enables velocity information to control the amount of the filter
envelope's effect on the cutoff frequency.
•
Vel>Flt (Velocity Filter) uses the velocity of a pad to modulate the cutoff frequency directly.
The Filter Envelope controls affect the filter frequency. Use the fields or "handles" of the envelope to
shape the envelope or time-variant modulation output. Adjust envelope's influence on the filter
frequency with the Env knob. See the later
envelope parameters.
The Amp Envelope controls affect level changes over time. Use the fields or "handles" of the envelope
to shape the envelope or time-variant modulation output. Adjust envelope's influence on the filter
frequency with the Env knob. See the later
envelope parameters.
