4.1.3–EnvelopeRow
Envelopesaremodulationsourcesinasynthesizerthatcreateshapesthatchangethefiltercutofffrequency,the
amplitude(volume)oreventheoscillatorshape.
TheUNOSynthhastwoseparateenvelopes,oneforthefilterandonefortheamplitude(volume).Thepanel
providesAttackandDecaycontrolsfortheFilterEnvelopeandAttackandReleasecontrolsfortheAmplitude
Envelope.

FullADSRcontrolsareeditableviaMIDIcontinuouscontrollers(MIDICC).SeetheUNOSynthMIDI
ImplementationChartforthespecificCCnumbers.
4.1.4–LFORow
LFOstandsforLowFrequencyOscillator.TheLFOisacyclicalmodulationsourcethatcanmoduletheoscillator
pitchorshape,thefiltercutofffrequencyandtheamplitudeofthesynth.

TheUNOSynthLFOisnotonlyawaytocreatemovingsoundtextures,it’salsothesourceforauser-friendly
performancetoolwithinstantarticulationeffects.
Thereare7LFOwaveforms:Sine,Triangle,FallingSawtooth,RisingSawtooth,Square,RandomandSample-
and-Hold.
TherateoftheLFOgoesupto30Hzandcanbesettofreerunortosyncwiththemastertempousingjustone
knob:Thefirst75%oftheknob’stravelsettheindependentfreerunspeedoftheLFO,andthelast25%ofthe
knob’stravelsyncstheLFOtothemastertempousingnotevaluesstartingwith1/1(wholenote)andcontinuing
with½(halfnote),¼(quarternote),1/4d(dottedquarternote),1/4t(quarternotetriplet),1/8,1/8d,1/8t,1/16,
1/16dand1/16t.
