The Amount knob enables you to control the impact the Cycling Envelope will have on
the modules that are its target. Especially when modulating the analog filter with the
Cycling Envelope, it's crucial to send just the right amount of voltage/control. Sending too
much or too little control to a destination can mean the difference between an average or
fantastic sound. Knobs like the Amount knob that reduce the strength of a signal are called
Attenuators. Attenuators play an essential role in the fine-tuning of a volume or a timbre.
The Matrix makes it possible to create very complex dynamic envelopes. An intriguing option
is to use the Cycling Envelope to control stages of the Main Envelope. Controlling the Attack
will change the attack slope. Controlling the Decay will vary the length of the envelope. You
can take this a lot further by creating modulation chains in the Matrix.
Other patch ideas:
• The LFO set to a slow sine wave controls the Rise time of the Cycling Envelope
(assign link in Matrix)
The Cycling Envelope controls the sustain of the Main Envelope (create a link in
Matrix)
• The LFO set to a chaotic, random wave controls the Amount of the Cycling
Envelope (assign link in Matrix)
The Cycling Envelope controls the decay/release or sustain time of the Main
Envelope (assign link in Matrix).
