Filter / Modifiers (Envelopes) - Arturia TAE ORIGIN User Manual

Table of Contents

[Volume]: The three knobs, in the column below [Volume] at the far left, set the

oscillators volume. From top to bottom they control Oscillator 1, 2 and 3.

[External Input Lvl]: This knob sets the external input volume of the Minimoog template

(the source connected to [Input 1] on Origin's rear panel).

[Noise Lvl]: This knob sets the noise generator volume.

[White/Pink]: This selection selects the noise type produced by the noise generator:

[White] selects white noise; [Pink] selects pink noise.

[On/Off]: As expected, the five [On/Off] switches turn their corresponding sound source

On or Off. From top to bottom they control Osc1, External input, Osc2, Noise generator,

and Osc3.

10.3.2.3 Filter / Modifiers (envelopes)

The upper section (above the black line) contains the settings for the filter and the filter envelope.

The lower section contains the settings for the amplitude envelope.

Here are the parameters for the upper section:

[Filter Modulation]: This switch activates or deactivates the modulation of the filter

cutoff by oscillator 3.

[Filter Control]: These two switches control the modulation of the filter cutoff by the

keyboard follow. There are four different settings for the keyboard follow:

When both switches are set to [off], the filter is not modulated by the keyboard follow.

If only the upper switch is set to [on], the filter cutoff tracks the keyboard frequency by

33%.

If only the lower switch is set to [on] the filter cutoff tracks the keyboard frequency by

66%.

If both switches are set to [on], the filter cutoff tracks the keyboard frequency by 100%.

[Cutoff] This knob controls the cutoff frequency of the filter (i.e. the frequency at which

the filter starts to attenuate, see chapter 7 for more information on the filters)

[Emphasis] This knob (also called "resonance" or "Q") sets the amplification amount of

frequencies close to the cut-off frequency. The other frequencies are either unchanged

(below the cut-off frequency) or reduced (above the cut-off frequency).

[Amount]: (amount of contour): This knob sets the amount of filter modulation by the

filter envelope.

[Attack]: This knob sets the attack time of the filter envelope.

[Decay]: This knob sets the decay time of the filter envelope.
