  • Page 5 SOUND: The Sound parameter lets you select a basic harmonic spectrum. Below the dial you can select one of three spectrums: - P is the classic Element P spectrum (the only spectrum available in the 2002 version) - A alternative set A, sine to triangle spectrum...
  • Page 6 TIMBRE RANGE: Hereby the harmonic content is controlled in a broad range in semitone steps. This allows you to create harmonic or "clean" and inharmonic sounds. ATTACK: The Attack slider determines the length of time it takes for the timbre envelope to reach the full effect on the sound.
  • Page 7 Pitch You can further shape the sound by playing with the 4 octave ranging Pitch section. TIM/BAS: You'll find a Timbre "TIM" and Base "BAS" button here. They decide on which part the pitch envelope goes. To hear the effect of this section one or both switches must be On and the Depth must be not zero.
  • Page 8 Noise COLOR: This parameter lets you change the color or sound of the noise. The rightmost setting is white noise, the middle setting about pink noise and the leftmost setting quite a dark rumbling noise. If you can't imagine what white and pink noise should be, don't worry, try and you'll understand this parameter.
  • Page 9 MAIN VOLUME: Controls the overall volume of an ElementP Instrument. VELOCITY CURVE: Controls the response on MIDI Velocity information. The lowest setting represents a linear response while the topmost setting is an extremely exponential response. VELOCITY ATTACK: This parameter controls how much the MIDI Velocity controls the Attack phase of the sound.
  • Page 10 ECS / MIDI Learn The ECS (Easy Controller Setup) section makes it simple to control the Element P from an external MIDI controller. All you have to do is switch on the ECS (a menu pops up when you click at the ECS letters, choose Learn), select a Element P parameter with the mouse and then send some MIDI messages to the Element P from you MIDI source.
