To record an Envelope…
To provide you with an Envelope recording example:
• Set the Record Trigger Mode to Note+Ctrl.
• Enable record by clicking on the R button.
• Play, and hold, a key—and start moving the modwheel or whatever controllers are
assigned to Envelope controls 1 and/or 2.
To end an Envelope recording…
An Envelope recording ends as soon as at least one of the following conditions is met:
• The record button (R) is disengaged manually by clicking on it.
• All voices are released.
• A new note is played after releasing all keys.
Following the recording of a controller movement, R(ecord) is automatically set to off
and Mode is set to Env. This ensures that only the recorded movement will be active,
regardless of the “stop” position of the recorded controller.
To play back a recorded Envelope…
Polyphonic playback of the recorded envelope occurs when you play a key. The Mode
parameter must be set to Env and the R(ecord) parameter must be set to off.
You can also activate both the Env and Ctrl buttons of the Mode parameter, as this will
allow you to use controllers assigned to Ctrl Env1 or Ctrl Env2 to manipulate the
Envelope in realtime, alongside playback of the recorded Envelope.
Note that if both Env and Ctrl are activated, however, the controller value is added to
the envelope output, resulting in a modulation offset.
Preparing the recorded envelope for editing
The envelope segments and handles are set automatically after recording. To change
the interpretation of the envelope you can grab and drag the vertical lines that
intersect the handles (also see the VariMod paragraph below). Note that this will not
change the shape of the envelope.
