The Amplitude Envelope
The Amplitude Envelope parameters let you control how the volume of a sound
should change over time - from the moment a note is struck to the moment it is
released again.
Parameters
Most of the Amplitude Envelope parameters are identical to those of the Modu-
lation Envelope. So for a detailed description of the following parameters, please
refer to the modulation envelope section on page 180:
• Attack
• Hold
• Decay
• Sustain
• Release
• Delay
• Key To Decay
The following are the parameters that are unique for the Amp Envelope section:
D Level
This knob sets the level of the zone. Turn it to the right to raise the level.
D Spread and Pan modes
These two parameters are used for controlling the stereo (pan) position of
the sound. The Spread knob determines the sound’s width in the stereo im-
age (how far left – right the notes will be spread out). If this is set to “0”, no
spread will take place. The Mode selector switch is used for choosing which
type of spread you want to apply:
D Pan
This controls the stereo balance of the output pair to which a zone is routed.
In the middle position, the signal appears equally strong on the left and right
channel in a stereo pair. By turning the knob to the left or right, you can
change the stereo balance.
Note that if you for instance turn the Pan knob all the way to the left, you cause
the signal to be output from the left channel of the stereo pair only.
You can use this to treat a stereo output as two independent mono outputs, if re-
quired.
See page 174 for information on routing zones to output pairs.

Key This will make the pan position shift gradually from left to right, the
higher up on the keyboard you play.
Key 2 This will make the pan position shift from left to right and then back
again from right to left in a sequence of eight keys. Playing 4 adja-
cent semitones thus makes the pan position gradually go from left to
right. The next 4 higher semitone notes will then change the pan po-
sition from right to left in the same way, and this cycle will then be
repeated.
Jump This will make the pan position jump between left and right each
time a note is played.
