Looping the envelope
D Click the Loop button to turn the envelope into a kind of LFO.
If there was previously a sustain stage in the envelope, this will automatically be disabled when you click the Loop
button.
Here we have edited a stepped curve from the Presets. We have also enabled Beat Sync and set the length/rate
to 4/4. This means that each step in the curve now represents an 1/8th note.
Key Trig means the envelope restarts when you play a note.
You can choose whether the envelope should send out a bipolar value or unipolar one (0-100%).
If Global is on, the envelope will be common for all voices.
Editing levels only
D To restrict the editing to levels only, without affecting the time positions, click the Edit Y-Pos 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:
Adjusting the level of a segment.
Creating “free form” envelope curves
In the Edit Y-Pos 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.
