NAVIGATION DATA INPUT
Amplitude Envelope & Balance Envelope
Valid for all Algorithms. Dual 1 and Dual 2 activate the Amp. Envel. 1 and Amp. Envel. 2 editors; Dual 3 and Dual 4 share an Amp. Envelope with
a Balance control. The Amplitude Envelope represents the volume displacement of the Sound over time. This editor allows you to program the Key
On Envelope, the Key Off Envelope and the Envelope Tracking. In practice, the Key On and Key Off Envelopes correspond to the traditional ADSR
parameters (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release).
THE AMPLITUDE ENVELOPE PARAMETERS
ENVELOPE FINISH
Determines the note from which the
Key Off envelope cannot interrupt the
Amp. envelope on its natural course to
completion, indispensable to simulate,
for example, the acoustic piano where
no dampers are applied from the note
A6 onwards; the sound continues
indefinitely after release. When this
parameter is not set to “Off”, the last
segment of the Key On Envelope sets to
0 automatically and cannot be modified;
this is to prevent the sound from playing
continually after release due to the
deactivated Key Off Envelope. Values
ranges: Off, A0 to C8.
SEGMENT 1 RATE DYNAMIC SENSITIVITY
Segment1 corresponds to the Attack phase. This parameter ties the Attack
rate of the Sound to key velocity. range Values: +/- 7. Positive values
increase the Attack rate with increased key velocity while negative values
produce the inverse effect with increased key velocity. 0 = no response.
KEY OFF RATE DYNAMIC SENSITIVITY
Links the response of the Key Off Envelope rate to the release velocity. The
Key Off Envelope corresponds to the Release phase. Values range: +/-7.
Positive values increase the completion speed of the Key Off Envelope
with increased key release velocity, while negative values slow down the
completion speed with increased key release velocity. 0 = no response.
F5 SUSTAIN
This parameter fixes a sustain level independent of the release envelope.
Activation of this parameter depends on the status of the Sustain function.
Press soft button F5 to activate Sustain (shown in negative highlight). Press
again to deactivate Sustain. Values range: 0-127.
AMPLITUDE KEY ON AND KEY OFF ENVELOPES
The Envelope Key On and Key Off Envelopes can be defined using the
3 display parameters, Segment, Time and Level. Segment: Allows you to
select the segments with the Dial. The one selected corresponds to the
flashing terminal point. Time: Determines the duration of the Segment. The
initial level of the first Key On segment at the starting point is always zero (it
cannot be modified). The level at the terminal point of the Key Off Envelope
is always zero (it cannot be modified).
Is a 10 segment curve (maximum)
Envelope that represents the variation of
the sound’s volume for the entire duration
that the keys are held pressed.
The ZOOM enlarges the field of
vision of the envelope up to 4 times at
a selected Point. Press the soft button
repeatedly to select the Zoom options
in cyclic order (1, 2, 3, 4, 0). Zoom 0
corresponds to “actual size”.
The SEGMENT option, common to both Key On and Key Off Balance Envelopes,
allows you to divide the Envelope into several different segments to create some
interesting Key On and Key Off effects. A Loop feature is also available.
The Key On Envelope must have at least one segment, (the
Attack phase), which cannot be cancelled.
Is a 10 segment curve (maximum)
envelope that represents the variation
of the sound after the notes have been
released. This envelope phase is often
called Release.
F2 KEY ON ENVELOPE
F3 KEY OFF ENVELOPE
The tracking “curve” represents the
change in the completion velocity of
the Amplitude Envelope across the
keyboard. The tools used to shape
the Amplitude Envelope tracking
curve, (Segment, Point, Key, Level),
are identical to the Volume Tracking
tools.
F4 TRACKING
F6 SEGMENT
Add Segm Inserts a new segment immediately after the currently selected
segment. A maximum of up to 10 segments are permitted.
Del Segm Cancels the current segment.
Loop Segm Loops the current segment (envelope repetition), provided that
the Envelope Finish parameter in the Envelope control page is
set to “OFF”. When it reaches the terminal point, it loops back
to the beginning. The cycle repeats continually until key release.
The initial Loop point is represented by an arrow [ ]To eliminate
the loop, select the segment and select “Del Segm.”.
