Release
Finally yet importantly, Release is the fourth segment of the enve-
lope. It is only active when the Decay button is on. There are no
controllers for the release phase. The envelope goes back to its
minimum in the Release-Phase. The value of the envelope is defi-
ned by cutoff. The time for the envelope falling to its minimum is
defined by Decay.
Filter Modulation
Here you can activate additional Filter-Modulation. The
source will be the signal defined within the Modulation-
Mix section. This can be Oscillator 3, Noise or a mix of
both. Intensity can be adjusted by using the Modulation-
Wheel and its additional parameters.
Keyboard Control
This activates the Cutoff Keyfollow function with two steps
possible. By activating the upper push button (1) the
cutoff frequency follows with 1/3 octave per octave on the key-
board. By activating lower push button (2) the cutoff frequency
follows with 2/3 octave per octave on the keyboard. Activating both
push buttons will result in a full octave – cutoff then follows the
frequency plaid on the keyboard.
Loudness Contour
Together with the envelope the Ampli-
fier defines the volume-curve of the
sound.
Attack
Attack defines the duration of the first
envelope segment. Within the Attack Phase the envelope curve
increases within the adjusted time to the maximum adjusted volu-
me.
Decay
Decay describes the duration of the second envelope segment.
Within the Decay-Phase the envelope curve falls within the adju-
sted time to the volume adjusted under Sustain. If you activated the
push button Decay within the Controllers Section, the time chosen
there will be taken for release of the envelope.
