The Envelope Direction button is used to set either a positive or negative
envelope shape. This can be used for a range of effects including opening
the filter when a note is released (this is impossible with a non-inverted
envelope).
The CronoX 3's filter cutoff frequency can be controlled via an ADSFR
envelope which consists of controls for Attack, Decay, Sustain, Fade and
Release.
The Attack slider setting determines the length of time (in seconds) it takes
for the filter cutoff frequency to reach the full envelope depth. For example,
if the Attack slider is set to 0.100 seconds, the filter cutoff frequency will
move from zero to full volume within 100 milliseconds. Range: 0.001
seconds...10 seconds.
The Decay slider setting determines the length of time (in seconds) that the
filter cutoff frequency takes to move from the Attack peak frequency to the
Sustain frequency. Range: 0.001 seconds...10 seconds.
The Sustain slider setting determines the filter cutoff frequency after the
initial Attack/Decay phase has been completed. Range: 0.000...1.000.
The Fade slider is used to set the rate at which the filter cutoff frequency
moves from the Sustain frequency to either 0 (for negative Fade values) or
full range (for positive Fade values). A Fade setting of 0 means that the
filter cutoff frequency remains at the Sustain level until the key is released.
Higher values result in a faster fade towards the respective destination.
Range: -10...10.
The Release slider is used to set the length of time (in seconds) that the
filter cutoff frequency takes to move from the current level to 0 after the key
is released. Range: 0.004 seconds...10 seconds.
The setting of the Lin/Log buttons determines the way that the envelope
moves from one value to the next. In the case of Lin (“Linear”), the
envelope follows a straight line while in the case of Log (“Logarithmic”), the
envelope moves from one value to the next following a logarithmic curve.
Each filter also has its own Pan circular slider. This is used to position the
filter's output signal within the stereo field. Finally, the output volume of the
respective filter can be adjusted with the Vol (“Volume”) circular slider. The
output from Filter 1 is always sent to Effect 1 and the output from Filter 2 is
always sent to Effect 2.
