Chapter 23 Ultrabeat 331
In the envelope graphic, you can see various junction points of two different sizes. Both
of the larger handles on the x-axis (the horizontal, or time axis) control the attack and
decay times, respectively. A vertical line extends up from the first of the two handles,
and divides the envelope into an attack and decay phase. Both segments each have
two small curved junction points. You can move these in any direction to deform the
contour of the envelope, and freely shape its amplitude.
In order to move the curved junction points, simply grab them and drag them to a new
position. Experiment with the different junction points and you’ll quickly realize that
handling is very intuitive. You can also directly click-hold and drag any curve edge on
the envelope itself.
Envelope Parameters
In order to edit the envelope parameters, first select an envelope by clicking on the
desired 1 to 4 buttons. The parameters of the corresponding envelope can now be
directly changed in the envelope display window.
Attack Time
Attack time defines the period of time the envelope needs to reach its maximum value.
This is measured from the instant you press a key (note on). This period is called the
attack phase.
Grab the attack junction point (the left-most of the two handles found on the x-axis)
with the mouse, and move it to shorten or lengthen the attack time.
Note: To change the shape of the envelope in the attack phase, you can edit both
junction points found in this segment. It is also possible to directly grab the curve with
the mouse and alter it.
Decay Time
Decay time defines the period of time the envelope needs to fall back to a zero
amplitude, after it has reached its maximum value (defined in the Attack phase).
Moving the second junction point on the x-axis shortens or lengthens the decay phase.
Note: To change the shape of the envelope in the decay phase, you can edit both
junction points found in this segment. It is also possible to directly grab the curve with
the mouse and alter it.
Envelope Modulation
The time and shape of the envelopes can be modulated by velocity. Clicking in the
menu field below the envelope 1 to 4 buttons opens the Env Mod menu. Choose either
Time or Shape of the (A)ttack or (D)ecay phase as the modulation target.
The intensity of modulation is adjusted with the mod slider below the envelope display.
Note: When you modulate Shape, low velocity values lead to a “sagging” envelope
shape, while higher values cause the selected envelope segment to “bulge”.
