AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE CONTROLS (CONTINUED)
SYNC
When the SYNC button is lit the envelope will restart at every unit of the beat. The AMP EG CLOCK
DIV parameter in the PRESET EDIT menu allows you to determine the clock division at which the
envelope will reset. (See MIDI Table on page 52 for available units of the beat.)
LOOP
Normally, an envelope occurs just once when you play a note. When LOOP is illuminated, an envelope’s
delay, attack, hold, decay, and release stages will loop continuously for as long as a note is held.
Because of this, it is possible to use the amp’s envelope generator as a multistage LFO. The shorter the
envelope times, the faster the loop will repeat.
LATCH ON
When the LATCH ON button is illuminated, the AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE will remain at its SUSTAIN level
as if the gate was on.
AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE CONTROLS (KNOB SHIFT ON)
DE LAY
When the KNOB SHIFT button is blinking you can use the AMP ATTACK knob (now AMP DELAY) to
specify a timed pause before the onset of the amplifier envelope’s attack, effectively turning an ADSR
envelope into a DADSR envelope. To increase the time before the onset of attack, engage the KNOB
SHIFT button and turn up the amplifier envelope’s ATTACK knob. The envelope’s delay time ranges
from a minimum of 0 millisecond to a maximum of 10 seconds.
NOTE: The delay parameter for the AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE only works when envelope LOOP is ON.
HOLD
When the KNOB SHIFT button is blinking you can use AMP DECAY knob (now AMP HOLD) to add
a hold stage to the amplifier envelope allowing you to specify a fixed delay between the attack and
sustain stages, effectively turning an ADSR envelope into an AHDSR envelope. During this stage,
the amplifier’s amplitude is held at its maximum level, which is determined by the mixer settings. To
increase the hold time before the onset of envelope’s decay, engage the KNOB SHIFT button and turn
up the amplitude 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 AMP SUSTAIN knob (now AMP VELOCITY
AMOUNT) to make your sounds get quieter as you press the keys slow on the keyboard, and louder
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 AMP RELEASE knob (now AMP KEYBOARD
TRACKING AMOUNT knob) to specify how much keyboard tracking affects the amplifier 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 amplitude 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.
