Controlling The Master Envelope; Transform Commands - Native Instruments Absynth 5 Reference Manual

8.6.2 Controlling the Master Envelope

Several options are provided to control the values of the four Master Envelope knobs.
•
You can move the four Knobs with your mouse.
•
Since the Master Envelope Knobs are especially suitable as a tool for real-time editing of
sounds during play, you can teach those four Knobs to react to information from external
MIDI sources, such as rotary controllers and sliders.
To start teaching the Master Envelope Knobs to work with a MIDI controller:
1. Switch to the Perform Window. You will see the four Master Envelope Knobs as well.
2. Make a Ctrl-click (Mac) or a right-click (Windows) on one of the Master Envelope Knobs to
put the Knob into MIDI Learning Mode. A small sign will appear indicating Learn Status.
3. Now move the desired control element to remotely control the Master Envelope knob.
4. Click the little sign Learn to finish the MIDI Learn mode.
→
If you now move the control element that was assigned previously, you will see how
the knob follows the movements on the screen.
