envelope will be triggered exactly at the half-
way point of the preceding envelope. For more
variations, you can experiment with setting a
different number of repeats for each channel
within a chain.
The repeat parameter defines how many
times the current envelope will be repeated
after completing the first cycle. As long as the
envelope remains unchained, the repeat pa-
rameter sets the number of cycles from 0 to
100 or to infinity (∞). The last value yields an
oscillator-like behavior. Repeating is also pos-
sible for envelopes that are parts of a chain,
however, infinite cycles is then disabled.
Whenever the repeat value is greater than
0, the phase parameter will consider all the
repetitions as one long cycle when calculating
phase shift. Hence, the next envelope in a chain
may be activated anytime during the repeats
of the preceding one. note:
of phase is zero. When a looped chain is se-
lected from the algorithms, at least one phase
value needs to be set to more than zero for the
whole loop to function properly.

Zadar offers a myriad of parameters and set-
tings that can create quite complex program-
ming configurations. Fortunately, it is possible
to save your work for later use within the de-
sired patching scenarios.
The red encoder A is used to navigate with-
in the preset page (fig. 6). Rotate the knob
to select one of 18 preset slots. Then push
the knob again to bring up the selection of
possible operations: save, load, clear, and
default preset. To prevent mistakes, a con-
firmation will be required for each operation.
Each preset stores all the module settings. The
default preset is recalled on module power-up.

A small Nin expander module is planned, of-
fering a set of individual, assignable CV inputs
and manual trigger push-buttons for more
comfortable tweaking. •
