Envelopes
Tap Envelopes to cycle through its three available tabs.
The first Envelope tab contains the amplitude modulation envelope.
Keygroup Level controls the overall volume level of the loaded sample/samples.
Keygroup Pan controls the overall panning of the loaded sample/samples in the stereo field.
The Amp Envelope controls affect level changes over time. Use the fields or tap and drag the “handles” of the
envelope to shape the envelope or time-variant modulation output. Adjust the envelope’s influence on the filter
frequency with the Env knob. See the later Anatomy of an Envelope section to learn about the envelope parameters.
The Velocity Modulation controls determine how much the velocity affects the volume level of the amplitude
envelope (Amp), the attack of the amplitude envelope (Amp Attack), and/or the panning of the sound (Pan).
When you press a pad softly, only minimal modulation is applied. When you press it harder, the modulation amount
also gets stronger depending on the setting of the corresponding slider.
