SWEEPER MODULATION EFFECT1118
Looping the envelope
D Click the Loop button to turn the envelope into a kind of LFO.
Here we have edited a stepped curve from the Presets. We have also enabled Sync and set the rate to 4/4. This
means that each step in the curve now represents an 1/16th note.
• The loop playback is synced to the Reason sequencer and time line (so that the loop always start on the “one”)
and continues for as long as there is still audio present through the Sweeper device.
Editing levels only
D To restrict the editing to levels only, without affecting the time positions, click the Edit button:
In this mode you cannot change the time positions of the envelope points, only their levels (height). This is extra
useful with a stepped Preset curve, because dragging up or down will change the value of an entire segment, turn-
ing the Envelope into a pseudo-sequencer.
! To be able to adjust the level of a segment, the two points on either side of the segment have to be on the ex-
act same time positions. Otherwise, only the closest point will be changed. Also, any inclining/declining seg-
ment will automatically turn horizontal when edited:

Creating “free form” envelope curves
In the Edit mode, you can also draw “free form” curves:
D To continuously add new consecutive points, hold down [Ctrl](win) or [Cmd](Mac) and drag in the envelope
display:
D To erase points, hold down [Shift] and [Ctrl](win) or [Cmd](Mac) and drag in the envelope display.
