Filter1 EG
TheFilterEG,orEnvelopeGenerator,letsyoucreatecom‐
plex,time‐varyingchangestothecutofffrequenciesofFil‐
tersAandB.Theparametersonthispagecontroltheshape
oftheEG.Amongotherthings,youcan:
•CreatethebasicEGshapebysettingthelevelsandtimes
ofeachsegment.
• ControlthecurvatureofeachEGsegment,forsubtle
controloverthemodulationshapeoftheEG.
•SetupcomplexmodulationofEGlevelsandtimes.
•SetupanAMSsource,suchasanLFO,torestarttheEG.
TocontrolhowmucheffecttheEGhasonthefilters,useth
e
FilterEGparametersontheFilter1Modulationpage,as
describedunder()“FilterEG”onpage 18).
Filter EG is also an AMS source
Youcan usetheFilterEGasanAMSsourcetomodulate
otherparameters,justlikethekeyboardtrackingandLFOs.
SimplyselecttheFilterEGintheAMSlistforthedesired
parameter.
Envelope
Filter EG
Anenvelopecreatesamodulationsignalbymovingfrom
oneleveltoanotheroveraspecifiedtime,andthenmoving
toanotherleveloveranotherperiodoftime,andsoon.
Theparametersbelowletyousetfivelevels,theamountof
timeittakestogofromeachofthelev
elstothenext,andthe
shape(fromlineartocurved)ofeachtransition.
Level
Eachofthefiv elevelscanbeeitherpositiveornegative.
Positivelevelswillmakethecutofffrequency(orotherAMS
destination)goupfromitsprogrammedvalue;negative lev‐
elswillmakeitgodown.
Start [–99...+99]
ThissetstheinitialEGlevelatnote‐on.
Attack [–99...+99]
Thissetsthelevelat theendoftheAttacktime.
Break [–99...+99]
Break,shortforBreakPoint,setsthelevelattheendofthe
Decaytime.
Sustain [–99...+99]
Thissetsthelevelat theendoftheSlopetime.Onceit
reachestheSustainlevel,theEGwillstaythereuntilnote‐
off,unlessitisresetviaAMS.
Release [–99...+99]
Thissetsthelevelat theendoftheReleasetime.
