Master Envelope; Audio In - Native Instruments Absynth 5 Reference Manual

10.1.2 Master Envelope

The superordinated envelope Master Envelope is present in all of the pages of the Perform
Window. The settings of the four Master Envelope Knobs on the Perform Window is always
identical with those in the Envelope Window: When you place a Knob in one of the two
Windows, you will always also see this change when you switch to the other Window. More
specific information on the possibilities of the Master Envelope can be found in section 8.6,
"Master Envelope".

10.1.3 Audio In

In the Audio In section, ABSYNTH 5 establishes the level of the input signal. Here you can
adjust the threshold level by changing the Threshold controls. If the threshold value is ex-
ceeded, the note set in the adjacent Pitch control will automatically be triggered. The pre-
requisite for this is that the Auto Trigger menu must be set to Audio. If Always On is selected
instead, the note selected by Pitch control will be held permanently. (If Off is chosen, then
both functions are deactivated.)
This functionality is useful if you use ABSYNTH 5's as Effect. As was explained in the 8,
"Envelope Window", the program only calculates when the amplitude envelope of an Oscillator
is active. If a MIDI envelope does not activate the amplitude envelope, ABSYNTH cannot
process the input signal. Choosing the option Always On solves this problem. By using Audio
you can depend on us to calculate the effect input signal – and flexibly define the starting
point of the envelope.
More on this topic can be found in the section 10.8 "Audio Mod Page".
