Envelopes Section
The microQ’s envelopes allow you to manipulate sound parameters via rate or timed modulations.
The microQ offers four independent programmable envelopes for every sound program:
• A Filter Envelope. This envelope is designed to control the filter but can also be used for other
modulations.
• An Amplifier Envelope. This envelope is designed to control the sound volume, but can also
be used for other modulations.
• Two additional Envelopes, Env 3 and Env 4. These envelopes can be used freely to perform
additional modulations on any module.
The following picture of the microQ’s parameter matrix shows the Envelopes section:

Before you make any edits to the envelopes, you must select whether to edit the Filter and the
Amplifier Envelope or Envelope 3 and 4. This is done by pressing the left or right navigation button.
The four LED in the Envelope section indicate which envelopes are selected for editing:
• F means the Filter envelope
• A means the Amplifier Envelope
• 3 means Envelope 3
• 4 means Envelope 4
To edit more than one envelope at the same time, hold down the left navigation button and
push the right navigation button once for as many envelopes as you wish to select.
Envelope Parameter Controls
All parameters of the microQ’s envelopes can be edited via the Parameter Matrix.
The microQ offers 5 different envelope types. Their parameters are described here in order. Some
envelope types do not use the full number of parameters available to the envelope section.
