Section 6 — Standard Sound Parameters
ENSONIQ KT Musician’s Manual 27
Env2 (50-53) and Env3 Pages (60-63)
The parameters in these pages are identical to those found in the Env1 pages. See the description
of Env1 earlier in this section for details. Again, Env1 controls pitch, Env2 controls the filter, and
Env3 regulates volume.
Output Pages (70 - 73)
The parameters in the Output page, along with Env3, regulate the overall volume and panning of
the voice, along with keyboard scaling, effects routing, and voice reassignment or “voice
stealing” priority.

Vol Range: -50 to +14 dB
Determines the volume of each voice. Since Env3 is permanently routed to the volume of the
voice, this parameter could be thought of as the Amplitude Envelope Amount.
Values above +00 dB are intended to let you compensate for the effects of heavy filtering or
enveloping, and for the fact that some waves simply have less apparent loudness than others.
For example, a percussion sample, which is by nature a quick peak, has less energy than a
sustaining square wave. A higher Vol setting lets you raise the level of such waves to equal that
of “louder” waves.
Warning:
We strongly recommend against setting Vol levels above +00 to all the
waves in your sounds just to make them louder — doing so can result in
clipping (distortion) when you play more than one or two notes.
Mod Source Range: Various
Selects one of the 15 available modulators to affect the volume of the voice. This is in addition to
Env3, which is always routed to volume.
Mod Amount Range: -99 to +99
Determines how much the modulator selected above will affect the volume of the voice.
Tip: By assigning the volume modulators to different voices within a sound, you
can create real-time voice crossfading (e.g. making strings swell underneath a piano).
