Filter Envelope
(DC and DO sounds)
DC and DO Sounds have dynamic filters which modify the harmonic content of the
sound with respect to time. SO Sounds have static filters and consequently do not
have the Filter Envelope editor in the main edit sound menu.
One envelope curve is common to both filters, even if the modulation depth can be
programmed independently in the two filters. The envelope consists of two parts
accessed in pages 2 and 3: “Filter Key On Envelope”, which controls the filter
variations while pressure is applied to the note, and “Filter Key Off Envelope”,
which controls filter variations after releasing the notes (Release phase).
The filter envelope can have different velocities across the keyboard extension
thanks to the “Filter Envelope Tracking” programmed in page four.
Page 1: Filter Envelope Control
Envelope amount F1 Activates the envelope for Filter 1 and regulates its modulation depth on the Cutoff Fre-
quency. Negative values invert the Filter Envelope.
Value range: -10 ... +10.
Envelope amount F2 This operates in the same way as Envelope amount F1, but refers to Filter 2.
Note: In order to produce a 4 pole filter, assign the same “Envelope amount” value to Filters
1 and 2.

Commands The option/command column shows specific options for this page.
set loop Activates the loop (envelope repetition). Determines the starting point of the
envelope repetition. When the Filter Key On envelope reaches its terminal point, it loops
back to the beginning. The cycle repeats continuously until you release the keys.
The loop is represented by an arrow which indicates the initial loop point.
To eliminate the loop, select its first segment again and then select “Set Loop”.
A loop on the Filter Envelope causes a cycle of opening/closing of the Sound.
Note: Remember that the Filter Envelope is effective only if the Envelope Amount param-
eters have a non-zero value, and if Filters 1/2 have been used.
add segm Adds a segment. Inserts a new segment in the envelope curve immediately
after the currently selected segment. N.B.: a maximum of up to 10 segments is permitted.
del segm Cancels the segment selected.
zoom in Enlarges the field of vision of the envelope up to 4 times.
zoom out Reduces the field of vision of the envelope; it also cancels a zoom in. Reduces
the envelope up to three times its standard size.
