FILTER ENVELOPE CONTROLS (KNOB SHIFT ON) (CONTINUED)
HOLD
When the KNOB SHIFT button is blinking you can use the FILTER DECAY knob (now FILTER HOLD)
to add a hold stage to the filter envelope allowing you to specify a fixed delay between the attack and
decay stages, effectively turning an ADSR envelope into an AHDSR envelope. During this stage, the
filter’s cutoff frequency is held at its maximum level, which is determined by the filter’s EG AMOUNT
setting. To increase the hold time before the onset of envelope’s decay, engage the KNOB SHIFT
button and turn up the filter envelope’s DECAY knob. You can vary the envelope’s hold time from a
minimum of 0 to a maximum of 10 seconds.
VEL AMT
When the KNOB SHIFT button is blinking you can use the FILTER DECAY knob (now FILTER
VELOCITY AMOUNT) to make your sounds get darker as you press the keys slower on the keyboard,
and brighter as you press the keys faster. The knob’s range varies from 0% to 100%. Note that the
highest velocity always gives the full amount, and that higher knob values affect the softer velocities,
which makes them deliver lower amounts.
KB TRACK
When the KNOB SHIFT button is blinking you can use the FILTER RELEASE knob (now FILTER
KEYBOARD TRACKING AMOUNT knob) to specify how much keyboard tracking affects the filter
envelope’s decay and release times. To change the decay and release times in response to where you
play on the keyboard, engage the KNOB SHIFT button and turn the filter envelope’s RELEASE knob.
The knob’s range is 0 to 2:1 with 1:1 tracking at 12 o’clock. As you turn the knob clockwise you will
shorten the envelope times as you go higher up the keyboard.
AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE CONTROLS
ATTACK
Use this knob to specify the time it takes the mixer output’s amplitude to ascend from zero to its
maximum value. Its value ranges from 1 millisecond to 10 seconds.
DECAY
Use this knob to specify the time it takes the mixer output’s amplitude to descend from its maximum
level to its sustain level. Its value ranges from 1 millisecond to 10 seconds.
SUSTAIN
Use this knob to specify the mixer output’s amplitude once the decay stage is complete. The sustain
stage is held until the envelope receives a Note Off command or the gate ends. Its value ranges from
0% to 100%, calibrated 1 to 10.
RELEASE
Use this knob to specify the time it takes the mixer output’s amplitude to descend from its current value
to zero after a key is released or the gate is turned off. Its value ranges from 1 millisecond to 10 seconds.
MULTI TRIG
By default, playing legato on the Sub 37 prevents envelopes from retriggering on subsequent notes;
this is called single triggering. You can change this behavior by pressing the MULTI TRIG button. When
illuminated, a new gate occurs each time you play a note on the keyboard, regardless of whether
you’ve released the previous key; this is called multiple triggering.
RESET
By default, with envelope reset turned off, an envelope Attack sweeps the envelope output only from its
current level to maximum. When the RESET button is lit the Attack starts from minimum regardless of
the level at the time of the key press. This effect is more prominent with longer attack and release times.
