Auxiliary Envelopes

The Prophet X has two additional 5-stage envelope generators (ADSR
plus delay). They are useful for creating modulation that varies over time
according to the shape of the envelope. Routing an envelope to an oscil-
lator's frequency, for example, causes the oscillator's pitch to rise and
fall according to the contour of the envelope.
As with all of the Prophet X's envelopes, there are controls for modulating
the envelope amount using keyboard velocity. The Auxiliary Envelopes can
be routed to any of the modulation destinations in the mod matrix. In addi-
tion, the Auxiliary Envelopes can repeat (loop) using the function
env repeat
in the aux envelopes display menu. This is useful for cyclical 4-stage modulation.
Actually, any of the Prophet X's envelopes can be routed to any destination (or
multiple destinations) using the modulation matrix. See "Modulation" on page 47 for more
information.

—Selects a modulation destination for the Auxiliary

Envelope. See "Appendix A: Modulation Sources" on page 130 for a list of
possible destinations.
—Sets the amount of modulation from the

envelope to the selected modulation destination. Higher amounts more
dramatically affect the destination. This control is bipolar. Positive
settings produce standard behavior. Negative settings invert the envelope.
