9. Play the 8th note and listen as the lter
sweeps through all frequencies
10. Wait until the lter stabilizes for voice 8,
then play C again.
11. Listen as the lter sweeps from the
sustain level, not the lowest frequencies.
12. Release the pedal.
13. Press the Page Down arrow and set
Reset to On.
14. Repeat steps 6-12.
15. The dierence: The lter sweeps through
all frequencies for all notes, not just the
rst 8.
In summary, here’s what to expect with a
polyphonic patch:
• Reset = On: The 9th voice starts the
envelope from its beginning.
• Reset = O: The 9th voice starts the
envelope from the sustain level.
Freerun
An envelope set to Freerun passes through all
segments, even if the note is released before
the end of the decay segment. If the note
is held then the envelope proceeds to the
sustain level and remains there until the note
is released, after which the envelope proceeds
through the release segment.
Envelope loop
This parameter enables an envelope to loop a
specic number of times (between 2 and 50),
and when set to Innite it can loop forever.
This means an envelope can even be used
as a complex LFO (if 5 LFOs aren’t enough!).
The loop includes the attack, hold, and decay
segments.
Envelope Shortcuts
These are described in greater detail in other chapters, but they’re so easy and useful we’ve
included them here too.
Copy Env A to Env B
1. Hold [SAVE]
2. Press and release the source (Envelope
A)
3. Press and release the destination
(Envelope B)
4. Release [SAVE].
Create a Mod route
1. Hold [ENV X] to select the source
2. Press the module button for the desired
destination, then release both buttons
3. Those items appear in the rst open Mod
Matrix slot, with the rst parameter of
the destination module selected
4. Select a dierent parameter within the
destination module, if needed
5. Set the modulation amount with the
lower Control knob.
