Envelopes
71
When you change the curvature, the envelope times remain the same. However, greater curvatures will tend to sound
faster, because the value changes more quickly at the beginning.
Different Curve settings for up and down
Generally, upwards segments use different Curve settings than downward segments. For instance, a Curve of 3 often
works well for upward segments, such as Attack. On the other hand, a Curve of 6 or more is often better for downward
segments, such as Decay and Release.
Envelope Curve
Curvature and Wavetable Position
When using the Osc 1/2 Envelopes to modulate Position, curvature is a matter of taste, and results will vary depending
on the contents of the Wavetable. A Curve of 0 (linear) sweeps through the waveforms evenly, with equal time for
each. A Curve of 10 (exp/log) sweeps through the waveforms quickly at the start of the envelope segment, and much
more slowly at the end of the segment. By default, the Osc 1/2 Envelopes use 0 (linear) for all segments.
A (Attack), D (Decay), R (Release) (CURVE)
[0 (linear), 1…9, 10 (exp/log)]
These set the curvatures of the Attack, Decay, and Release segments, respectively.
Filter/Amp/Osc 1/Osc 2 Envelope Trigger
Trigger Src (Trigger Source)
[List of modulation sources]
This selects a source to start the envelope, or re-start it if it is already playing. For instance, you can use a tempo-synced
LFO to trigger the envelope in a repeating rhythm.
Envelopes started or re-started by the Trigger Source work slightly differently from normal. The Decay always takes
its full time, even if Sustain is at maximum; in this case, it acts as a hold time. Following the Decay time, the envelope
goes to 0 over the Release time, even if the note is still being held.
Trigger Threshold
[–100%…+100%]
This sets the modulation level which will trigger the envelope. Among other things, you can use this to adjust the exact
point in an LFO’s phase at which the envelope will be reset, effectively controlling its “groove” against other rhythmic
effects.
