Modulator MIDI plug-in envelope
Modulation Envelope parameters
•
Envelope on/o button: Turns the envelope on or o.
•
Envelope display: Shows the current envelope shape. Drag the handles in the display to set the
following parameters:
•
Delay: Delays the onset of the envelope. Ranges from 0 to 10 seconds.
•
Attack: Sets the time required to reach the sustain level. Ranges from 0 to 10 seconds.
•
Hold: Sets the sustain level and duration. Ranges from 0 to 10 seconds.
•
Release: Sets the time required for the envelope to fall to a value of zero after the sustain
phase of the envelope has nished. Ranges from 0 to 10 seconds.
•
Trigger switch: Choose a switch position to determine if the envelope is triggered by the LFO or
by incoming MIDI note on messages.
•
LFO: The envelope is retriggered when the LFO reaches its (positive) peak value. See
Modulator MIDI plug-in LFO.
Note: The envelope ignores incoming LFO triggers if it is currently completing an
envelope pass.
•
Single: After all notes have been released, the envelope is re-triggered by the rst MIDI note
on message it receives.
Note: This means that legato playing does not reset the envelope, so keep this in mind
during performances.
•
Multi: The envelope is re-triggered by each received MIDI note on message.
•
Steps per Env(elope) Pass slider and eld: Drag to determine the number of steps per envelope
pass. By default, the envelope produces a smoothed continuous stream of controller events,
but you can use this parameter to create a stepped controller signal that is similar to the
output of a Sample and Hold circuit. When you set a manual step rate, the envelope time can
be changed without altering the number of steps.
•
Env to LFO Rate knob: Rotate to set the maximum amount of LFO modulation (LFO depth). The
LFO rate can be modulated by the Attack, Hold, and Release parameters (see above).
