3.
Increase the Amp Attack knob and play a note. The attack controls the
time it takes for the sound to reach the Attack level when a key is
pressed and held.
4.
Increase the Amp Release knob. Note the effect as you release the key.
The Release stages controls the time it takes for the sound to die away
when a note is released.
5.
Try out the Sustain & Release knobs. The Sustain knob control the
volume LEVEL after the Decay phase has finished and while the key
continues to be held. As soon as you release the key, the Release phase
begins.
To Create a Complex Volume Envelope:
1.
Go to the
Volume Envelope
mode screen, by pressing the “Amp” jump
button twice, and set the Volume Envelope mode to “time-based.”
2.
Now move on to the next screen to set the Volume Envelope
parameters.
Front panel knobs 5-8
are routed to the volume
envelope parameters and thus
affect the settings. You may
want to disconnect the
PatchCords to gain total control
of the envelope parameters.
(Alternately, you can create a
completely blank preset and start
from there.)
3.
Increase the Attack 1 time value and play a note. The attack controls
the time it takes for the sound to reach the Attack level when a key is
pressed and held.
4.
Move the cursor to the first field in the bottom line and use the cursor
buttons to advance to the Release pages.
5.
Increase the Release 1 and 2 times. Note the effect as you release the key
on the controller. The Release stages controls the time it takes for the
sound to die away when a note is released.
To Setup the Volume Envelope as an ADSR:
The classic synthesizer ADSR (Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release) envelope is
easy to create using the XK-6 six segment envelope generators. The trick is
to only use segments: Attack1, Decay2, and Release1.
1.
Set Atk1, Atk2 & Dcy1 levels to 100.
2.
Set Rls1 & Rls2 levels to 0.
