Module: Shaper 1/2

Normal or repeat?
You have already learned that pressing a key triggers
an envelope. Let us look at it from another
perspective: pressing any key launches the time-
based process that is an envelope. But what happens
next? Neuron distinguishes between two modes:
In normal mode, the envelope runs through once.
After the release time (or time 4) elapses, the
envelope is not triggered again until a new note is
played.
In repeat mode, the envelope is repeated in cycles,
though the envelope does not run its full course. The
sustain phase falls by the wayside, and the release
phase is launched at the sustain level right after the
decay phase ends. Then the attack phase of the next
cycle begins. This cycle continues for as long as the
key is held down. Releasing the key stops the
envelope immediately. In repeat mode, a 4L/4T
envelope goes from level 4 to level 1during the
release phase (time 4).
The repeat option lets you create LFO-like effects,
among others.
Shaper 1/2 routing: Modulation destinations
Now you know that you can use envelopes to
influence the most diverse sound parameters. To do
this, you must assign a destination parameter to the
envelope. In Neuron, some of these routing options
are predefined while others can be defined freely.
