On the left is an illustration of both cycle
types: Envelope (ADSR), and Trapeze.
ATTACK: Sets the speed of Attack, and is
common to both modes.
ON: Sets the ON (or Hold) duration of the
Trapeze mode.
DECAY: Sets the Decay duration, and is
common to both modes.
SUSTAIN: Sets the level of the sustain phase
the Envelope (ADSR) mode.
RELEASE: Sets the release duration of the
Envelope (ASDR) mode.
OFF: Sets the OFF duration of the Trapeze
mode. This is the time between the end of the
decay and the beginning of a new cycle. When
this knob is turned fully clockwise, there is no
loop.
As you can see in this diagram, the sustain
step is only maintained if the Gate is
connected.
In the same way, if the gate is not connected,
the Trapeze mode will loop indefinitely, if the
OFF time is not set to maximum.
12.1.4 Noise Generator:
Most of the sounds you can hear in instruments and nature have a noise component in the background, or
during the attack. To reproduce this sound feature, the XILS 4 incorporates a noise generator module.
Level: this knob sets the output level of the noise.
Colour: this knob sets the colour of the noise, from
a very coloured noise (with less high frequency), to
a standard white noise, passing through a standard
pink noise.
The level and colour can be modulated through the
advanced connection matrix.
