Assigning LFO velocity destinations
You can also assign LFO modulation that is velocity con-
trolled (i.e. governed by how hard or soft you strike a key).
This is done as follows:
1. Click in the “Vel Dest” box for one of the LFOs.
A pop-up appears with all possible velocity destinations are shown.
2. Select a destination.
The selected velocity destination is now shown in the list. Beside the
destination, a default value (50) has been set. The value represents the
modulation amount. See below for an example of how velocity modula-
tion works.
• You can set positive and negative values by clicking on
the value in the list, typing in a new value and pressing the
Enter key.
To enter negative values type a minus sign followed by the value.
3. Using the same basic method, you can add any num-
ber of velocity destinations for the LFO.
They will all be listed in the “Vel Dest” box.
• To remove a modulation destination click on its name in
the list and select “Off” from the pop-up.
LFO modulation velocity control – an example:
If you follow the steps above and select the Cut parameter
as a Velocity destination, the following happens:
• The harder you strike the key, the more the Cut parame-
ter will be modulated by the LFO.
• If you should enter a negative value for the velocity mod-
ulation amount, the opposite happens; the harder you play
the less the Cut parameter is modulated by the LFO.
Envelope page
The Envelope page is opened by clicking the ENV button
at the top of the lower half of the control panel. The page
contains all parameters and the modulation and velocity
destinations for the four independent envelope genera-
tors.
Envelope generators govern how a parameter value will
change when a key is pressed, when a key is held and fi-
nally when a key is released.
The Envelope page.
On the Envelope page, the parameters for one of the four
envelope generators is shown at a time.
• You switch between the four envelopes in the section to
the left.
Clicking on either of the four mini curve displays 1 to 4 will select it and
display the corresponding envelope parameters to the right. The mini
curve displays also reflect the envelope settings for each corresponding
envelope.
• Envelope generators have four parameters; Attack, De-
cay, Sustain and Release (ADSR).
See below for a description of these.
• You can set envelope parameters in two ways; either by
using the sliders or by click-dragging the curve in the En-
velope curve display.
You can also do this in the mini curve displays.
• By default Envelope 1 is assigned to the master volume,
and therefore acts as an amplitude envelope. The ampli-
tude envelope is used to adjust how the volume of the
sound should change from the time you press a key until
the key is released.
If no amplitude envelope were assigned, there would be no output.
