Mod Env Section - Viscount SYNTH-8 User Manual

MOD ENV section

The modulation envelope is a simple three-phase ADR
envelope (Attack, Decay, Release) with which to modulate
the filter frequency and/or the pitch of the oscillators over
the time.
To access this menu, in the EDIT SYNTH-8 screen (page 6), place the cursor on the MOD
ENV field and press the data entry dial.
NB
The table below shows all the parameters available for the MOD ENV section. The knob or button
that allows direct control from the panel is shown under the name of the parameter.

Description
Time taken by the envelope to reach its maximum level, and therefore the
maximum variation of the filter cutoff frequency and/or the pitch of the
oscillators, after a key is pressed.
Values: between 0 and 127
Time taken by the envelope, after it has reached the maximum level, to
return to the initial level, and then to the basic cutoff frequency of the filter
and/or the basic pitch of the oscillators.
Values: between 0 and 127
NB
When the Decay value is 127 the envelope does not decay but remains at
the maximum level until the note is released.
The Release phase of the MOD envelope is calculated with the same
value as that of Decay.
Modulation amount of the filter cutoff frequency controlled by the envelope.
At positive values, the filter frequency is increased based on the
development over time of the envelope. At negative values, the frequency is
lowered following the envelope.
Values: between -64 and +63
Modulation amount of the pitch of the oscillators controlled by the envelope.
At positive values, the pitch is raised according to the development of the
envelope. At negative values, the pitch is lowered following the envelope.
Values: between -64 and +63
Amount of envelope modulation controlled by the key velocity. At high parameter
values, the envelope level is increased or lowered (based on the values of the
Mod Filter Amt and Mod Pitch Amt parameters) when you play louder.
Values: between 0 and 127
