▪
DRIVE: Increases the level (dB) of the incoming signal forcing it to exceed the fixed
threshold of the clipper.
▪
FOLDOVER: Sets the slope for signal levels exceeding the clipping threshold. Set to mini
mum a normal clipping is achieved.

5.15.1 Envelopes
There are 3 ADSR style envelopes. Envelope 1 is the amplitude envelope.
Fig. 5.64 Envelope.
▪
A: Attack time of the envelope.
▪
D: Decay time of the envelope.
▪
S: Sustain level of the envelope.
▪
R: Release time of the envelope.
▪
VEL: Velocity sensitivity of the envelope.
▪
ECHO: Activates a feedback delays for the envelope. The delay time and feedback
amount is set with the ECHO STEPS controls.
Having echoes on envelopes can result in unusual effects, as echoes are still dependent on
the synthesizer settings: They can be pitched, filtered and made non-harmonic etc. In mono
phonic mode these echoes - even with lots of feedback - will no blur the pitch as normal ech
oes would do. There is always only the current synthesizer pitch. There are no echoes of previ
ous notes with different pitches like with normal echoes. Also there is no flanging that normal
ly happens when delayed signals are mixed together. These are the reasons why echoed enve
lopes sound great in bass sounds too. They keep their dry bassy character.
