▪ DRIVE: Increases the level (dB) of the incoming signal forcing it to exceed the fixed
threshold of the clipper.
▪ FOLDOVER: Sets the slope for signal levels exceeding the clipping threshold. Set to mini­
mum a normal clipping is achieved.

Envelopes

There are 3 ADSR style envelopes. Envelope 1 is the amplitude envelope.

D: Decay time of the envelope.

R: Release time of the envelope.

VEL: Velocity sensitivity of the envelope.

Having echoes on envelopes can result in unusual effects, as echoes are still dependent on
the synthesizer settings: They can be pitched, filtered and made non-harmonic etc. In mono­
phonic mode these echoes - even with lots of feedback - will no blur the pitch as normal ech­
oes would do. There is always only the current synthesizer pitch. There are no echoes of previ­
ous notes with different pitches like with normal echoes. Also there is no flanging that normal­
ly happens when delayed signals are mixed together. These are the reasons why echoed enve­
lopes sound great in bass sounds too. They keep their dry bassy character.
