Kodamo EssenceFM, User Manual

to adjust point positions:
– Main Jog Wheel and INC/DEC keys for the vertical position
– Knobs for the horizontal position
The horizontal zoom can be adjusted by pinching
with two fingers.
Note about the time scale: to allow you to easily
create short and long envelope segments without
requiring huge amounts of zooming/scrolling, we
adopted a logarithmic time scale. A segment that is
2 times shorter than another will play much quicker
than what you would expect if the scale was linear.
Note about decay reaching Zero and Release time: this case is
impossible to represent correctly with a single graphical curve.
To compensate for that the EssenceFM uses the last segment as
the release length (points 1 and 2 in this picture). That means if
your envelope decays to zero and you want to have a release
time in case the player release the key quickly, you need to add
another segment representing this release length. It works only
with exponential envelopes.
Envelope controls are described below:
Add Point (+) : Add a new point after the selected one.
Delete Point (x): Remove the selected point.
Center Point (Pan & Pitch EG only): Centers vertically the selected point on the axis.
Sustain Point : Attach sustain to the selected point. The envelope will be stuck on this
point until the key is released.
Skip on Release (only shown when Sustain Point is selected): If checked, when the note
is released before reached the sustain point, the envelope value will jump to this point.
Segment Loop A / B : Sets the Loop Start and Loop End points of a segment loop, which
can take in several segments. Loop must be set before the sustain point to work.
Remove Loop (only shown when a point with loop is selected): Removes the Loop Start
and Loop End markers.
Linear / Exponential (only shown when no point is selected): Sets the envelope in Linear
