SEQUENCE MODE KNOBS & CV
The sequence played can be influenced with the three controllers at the top left:
KNOB ENVELOPE
This is one of the most interesting features of the CURVES. When the sequence is played back, the
controller can be used to "morph" through the different forms of the envelope.
When the knob is at ZERO, the sound is short and choppy. The attack and decay phases are very
short. If the control is turned up a little, you can hear the steps decay longer (the decay gets longer).
The envelope is of type AD (Attack-Decay) and is only triggered by the sequencer. The length of the
step (gate time) has no influence on the envelope. However, if the position of the controller is bet-
ween 9 and 12 o'clock, the envelope is set to type AR (Attack-Release). In this area, the gate length
of the step is evaluated and has an influence on the length of the envelope.

The function of the controller can also be automatically modulated by a CV. The CV input
“ENVELOPE” is available for this. The input is designed for voltages in the range 0 to +5v.
