Playing 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 real time, 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.
Envelope Parameters
The following parameters are only active if the envelope functionality is engaged
(Mode set to either Env or Ctrl+Env).
A-Time Velosens
This slider is used to set the velocity sensitivity for the attack time of the envelope.
Positive values will make the attack time shorter at minimum velocities, and negative
values will make the attack time shorter at maximum velocities.
Timescale
This parameter allows you to scale the duration of the entire envelope between 10%
(ten times faster) and 1000% (ten times slower). This will also visually impact on the
appearance of the envelope curve displayed as it is shortened (sped up) or lengthened
(slowed down).
Sustain Mode Menu
Allows you to define the behavior of the envelope while a note is held. Choices are:
The usual Sustain mode, Finish mode, or one of three loop modes (Loop Forward, Loop
Backward, Loop Alternate).
The envelope can—like any envelope—run in one shot (as long as the note is
sustained). It can also run several times or in an infinite cycle, much like an LFO. You can
achieve this through the use of loops.
