ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 123
The Link mode not only saves time when editing similar Envelopes, but serves for creative
purposes as well. You could, for example, alter the Cut-off Frequencies of the îž‚lter of mul-
tiple channels by choosing a slightly different scaling of escalation or time, which creates a
more organic sound. Similarly, you can evoke interesting detuning-effects by connecting the
Oscillator Pitch to the parameter.
8.3.7 Sample Jump
Envelope in Sample Jump mode
The Sample Jump Envelope retriggers a sample in a synchronized tempo. You can set an
individual Retrigger position in the sample for every Breakpoint. Envelopes of this type look
different from normal Envelopes because they do not have real Breakpoints. Instead they
show the actual wave shape of the sample. The Sample Jump Envelope only works when one
oscillator is in Sample Mode.
To create a Sample Jump Envelope, you îž‚rst have to set at least one oscillator to Sample
Mode and load a sample. Even though the Sample Jump Envelope is suitable for a variety
of material, its operating mode is best understood using a drum loop or a similar kind of
sample. To create a Sample Jump Envelope, click on the New Envelope button in the Envelope
Window. Then select the oscillator oscil A (or any other oscillator containing the loaded the
sample you wish to edit). Then choose the parameter oscil A sample jump from the middle
column. Now you should see the Sample Jump Envelope and the wave shape that has been
loaded into the oscillator module in a wave shape window. In Sample Jump Envelopes you
can create new points the same way you did in other Envelopes: via Ctrl-click (Mac) or via
right key click (Windows). In Delta Time/Abs Time control you can determine the moment
when the sample is retriggered. The Retrigger-position in the sample changes with the value
in % control, which sets the position as a percentage of the full length. The Envelope-type
Sample Jump Envelope allows you to retrigger the various divisions of a sample, and can be
synchronized by tempo.
