This envelope generator is set with the “Attack Time” knobs for the attack time, and the
“Decay Time” knob for the decay time, and the “Sustain Level” knob for the level of
sustain. The management of the return to zero is identical to the envelope generator
associated to the filter.
When the decay time knob is set to the maximum, the notes are held indefinitely.
5.5 THE POLYPHONIC MODE, THE PLAYING MODES
The original model was a monophonic synthesizer. The Mini V offers the possibilities of
polyphonic playing where the number of voices can be set from 2 to 32 with the “Voices”
menu.
The “Unison” switch: lets you to play all of the voices at the same time. The “Voice
detune” knob lightly detunes each of the polyphonic voices.
Number of polyphonic voices and playing mode
The “Polyphonic” switch: activates or deactivates the polyphonic playing mode. When
deactivated, the Mini V is in monophonic mode. When more than one note is played on
the keyboard, the note that will be heard depends on the mode of playing selected in the
“playing mode” menu.
Polyphonic and unison
In “Low” mode we will hear the lowest note, in “High” mode the highest note, and in
“Last” mode the last note played on the keyboard.
In the two first modes, when the note is released, we will hear the lowest note (or
respectively the highest) without triggering the envelopes. In the last mode, the
envelopes are always active.
It is possible to prevent the triggering of envelopes with the “Legato” switch which is on
the left of the keyboard.
Activation of the Legato mode
The original synthesizer uses the “Low” playing mode when the “Legato” mode is
activated.
