32 Amplifier Envelope Dave Smith Instruments
To create a program in which velocity controls the VCA, turn vca
envelope
amount
down and turn
velocity amount
up. To achieve the best results, it may be
necessary to set an initial level using Envelope Amount. Just remember that once
Envelope Amount is set to the maximum, no modulation from velocity—or any other
source—will cause it to go higher than that.
Env Repeat: Off, On
— (In the
vca env amount
tab of the display)
When on, the Delay, Attack, and Decay segments of the envelope
repeat. Sustain still affects the level at which the Decay segment ends,
but instead of sustaining at a fixed level while a note is gated on, Delay,
Attack, and Decay loop until the note is turned off. The Release segment
begins when the note is gated off, just as it does when Repeat is off. See
the illustration below.
