Creating an individual “pre amp envelope” for a Sound Engine
There might be situations where you want to control the amplitude envelopes separately for each Sound Engine.
Let’s say you have a plucked sound with a fairly long release in Sound Engine 2 and then you want to slowly fade in
a pad sound from Sound Engine 1. Since the built-in Amp Envelope controls all three Sound Engines together, you
could use the following “workaround”:
1. Assign “Envelope 1” as Source and “Mixer: Eng1 Level” as Destination in the Modulation Bus.
Turn the Amount knob to 100 in the Modulation Bus.
2. Create your “fading” envelope curve in the Envelope 1 display.
Click the Sustain button in the Envelopes display if you want to have a sustain stage in your envelope.
3. Set the Sound Engine 1 Mixer Level slider to zero.
4. As you play the keyboard, Envelope 1 will now fade in the signal from Sound Engine 1, while the signal from
Sound Engine 2 is only controlled by the built-in Amp Envelope.
! Note that the built-in Amp Envelope’s settings will also affect the “fading pad” sound from Sound Engine 1,
since all Sound Engine signals eventually pass through the Amp Envelope.
