Working with Envelope Generator
2's
Parameter page
3
(ADD
PARAM
key
pressed
twice) contains the
envelope
generator
2's
with their
3
parameters
and the the effect they have on
various unit parameters. These eight programmable envelope generators
are
able
to
affect four parameters
-
PITCH, FILTER FREQUENCY, FILTER
RESONANCE
and
PANORAMA. However, before they
can
be used,
they must
be
prepared,
i.e.
programmed.
Three time ranges
of the EG 2's can be
adjusted, these are rise time
(ATTACK), dwell
duration (DURATION) and decay
time (DECAY).
EG
2
ATTACK
determines
the
steepness
of the rise
to
the
maximum level
value. The higher the value
set,
the
shallower
the rise
curve will
be,
i.e.
the
longer
it
will take
to
reach
the
peak value.
EG
2
DURATION
controls
the dwell time once the peak value has
been
reached.
A
high numerical value means
a
long
horizontal
time curve.
EG
2
DECAY
determines
the.
edge steepness
of the
decay from the peak
value back
to
0.
The higher the value
set, the
shallower
the
decay curve will
be,
i.e.
the
longer
it
will take
to
reach
the
starting value
0.
Here are three graphs
to
demonstrate these relations:
The left-hand graph illustrates the principle parameter assignments, the
middle graph shows
an
extremely rapid
attack, short duration and
a
relatively steep decay whereas
in the
right-hand graph
the
function curve
rises slowly during the attack phase, stays
for
a
relatively long
time
at
the peak level and then
slowly decays again.
Now
let
us
assign the
EG
2
to the
4
unit parameters. Here
it is
best
to
select
the
"vertical display" mode again using
the
CHAN
key,
search
for
ENV2-PAGE
3
and step through
to
torn
channel
4
with
"»".
m
this mode,
the
display shows all parameters
of
envelope generator
2
for
channel
4.
