∏ Tip: It is also possible to manually drag the red time position marker with the mouse.
Note: If one of the three loop modes is selected, and the loop point is positioned
before the sustain point, the loop will be active until the key is released. Following key
release, the envelope will then continue beyond the sustain point, as per usual. If the
loop point is positioned after the sustain point, the loop will be entered as soon as the
key is released, and will be cycled infinitely (until the complete voice has finished the
amplitude envelope release phase).
Sync and “ms” Buttons
These buttons allow you to select between a free-running envelope (with segment
times displayed in milliseconds) or a tempo-synced envelope with note value options,
such as 1/8th or 1/4.
Switching between values forces a recalculation of times to the nearest note value or
ms time, respectively, based on the current project tempo.
Depth Knob
This parameter scales the amount of morph movement caused by the morph envelope.
The effect of the Depth parameter is visually displayed in the Morph Pad. As you
increase or decrease the value, the morph trajectory will also be scaled.
Modulation Knob and Source Menu
These parameters allow you to select a modulation source and amount, which are used
to scale the movement of the morph envelope.
Transition Knob
Provides control over the transitions between the morph points. This can range from
the original (possibly recorded) movement to linear connections, and beyond this to
stepped transitions.
The latter means: remaining at one morph state during the entire morph envelope
segment, and then abruptly switching to the morph state set at the following envelope
point.
This parameter (and the morph envelope itself) can lead to interesting evolving sounds
or even rhythmic patches.
