Frequency Modulation
D Turn the Kbd knob to set the keyboard tracking amount.
At 0% the filter is static and doesn’t track the keyboard at all. At 100% the filter tracks the keyboard 1 semitone
per note.
D Click the Frequency Modulation Source box to bring up a menu of the available modulation sources.
The “Inverted” sub-menu contains inverted variations of all modulation sources.
q Use one of the Envelopes (see “The Envelopes section”) as modulation source to create a Filter envelope.
D Set the modulation amount with the Frequency Modulation Amount knob.
D Turn the Velo knob to control the Frequency Modulation Amount from Keyboard Velocity.
q If you want other modulation sources or scaling options, use the Mod Bus, see “The Modulation Bus section”.
The Amplifier section
The Amplifier section contains a standard ADSR envelope, which controls the amplitude of the signals from all three
Sound Engines equally.
q To create an “amp envelope” for a separate Sound Engine, have a look at “Creating an individual “pre amp en-
velope” for a Sound Engine”.
The picture below shows the various stages of the ADSR envelope:
The ADSR envelope stages.
A(ttack)
When you play a note on your keyboard, the envelope is triggered. This means it starts rising from zero to the value
set with the Gain knob (see below). How long this should take, depends on the Attack setting. If the Attack is set to
“0”, the Gain level is reached instantly. If the Attack value is raised, it will take longer time before the Gain level is
reached.
