 The mix between the main and sub oscillators
 The cutoff frequency of the filter
 The resonance of the filter
 The main volume (the amplifier)
The following two targets are only available for the modulation envelope:
 Filter FM (the amount of cutoff frequency modulation by the triangle wave of the
oscillator): The modulation characteristics are nonlinear. Thus, you can achieve a
pseudo distortion of existing sounds, or, if only the self-oscillation of the resonating
filter is audible, create metallic, FM style sounds. Switch Sub to off and Mix to Sub in
order to do so.
 LFO Amp (the overall amount of LFO modulation): As one application, you can create a
delayed vibrato by modulating the LFO modulation intensity if the LFO router is set
to pitch. The shape of the modulation envelope will control the intensity of the
vibrato. Select an attack style setting (High value for form).
Int via Vel
The upper arrow controls the upper modulation intensity setting for the modulation
envelope, if you strike a key with the hardest fortissimo (velocity = 127). The lower
arrow controls the lower modulation intensity setting for the modulation envelope, if
you strike a key with the softest pianissimo (Velocity = 1). The green bar between the
arrows displays the impact of velocity sensitivity on the (intensity of the) modulation
envelope. You can simultaneously adjust the modulation range and intensity by
grabbing the bar and moving both arrows at once. Note that as you do so, they retain
their relative distance from one another.
Mod Envelope
The modulation envelope itself only has one parameter. You can set a percussive type
of decay envelope (low values), or attack type envelopes (high values). A full setting of
the modulation envelope delivers a constant, full level. This is useful if you want a
parameter to be modulated solely by velocity: select a modulation destination, (LFO
Amplitude, for example), set the modulation envelope to full, and adjust Int via Vel as
needed, in order to obtain a velocity sensitive, yet non time-variable amount of LFO
Amplitude modulation.
ADSR
The ADSR envelope affects the filter (ADSR via Vel) and the amplifier (if set to ADSR).
The parameters are attack time (A), decay time (D), sustain level (S) and release time (R).
If you’re unfamiliar with these parameters: set the amplifier to ADSR, the Cutoff to a
low value, Resonance to a high value, and move both of the ADSR via Vel arrows
upwards, in order to check out what these parameters do.
