ENVELOPE 1-4 CHANNEL SELECT BUTTONS:

To select an envelope for parameter editing, press one of 

these buttons. The active envelope LED will now be lit and you 

can now start dialing various settings. To switch to another 

envelope,  push another one of the buttons and so forth. 

RECORD:

To record parameter automation in a sequence for an 

envelope, select the envelope channel button you want to 

record sequenced automation so that it is lit,  then hold the 

RECORD button while you move the sliders. Make sure you 

are already receiving incoming clock or this feature will not 

work otherwise. Now you can change the direction of the 

sequence as well by adjusting the sequence direction switch.

CLEAR:

To clear an automated sequenced recording for an envelope, 

press the envelope channel select button so that it is lit, then 

hold the CLEAR button while moving sliders. 

FAST/SLOW/TEMPO SPEED SWITCH: 

Set each envelope to either FAST, SLOW or TEMPO based. 

See pg. 7 for more information and measurements for this 

feature.

TRIGGER MODE:

TRIGGER MODE is the default mode (both GATE and LOOP 

buttons are off). In this mode, an envelope will start when an 

external input (gate or trigger), is patched and sending signal 

to the envelope GATE inputs. It is simply looking for a rising 

edge as the start point.

LOOP MODE:

To enter LOOP MODE, press an envelope channel select 

button to enter editing mode and then press the LOOP 

button. In this mode the envelope will loop back to attack as 

soon as release reaches zero. 

GATE MODE: 

To enter GATE mode, press an envelope channel select button 

to enter editing mode and then the GATE button. This mode 

will play a standard AHDSR envelope when a trigger or gate 

input is patched and said envelope will respond accordingly 

to the pulsewidth of the incoming gate (shorter or longer 

pulsewidths will affect the length of the HOLD setting).

GATE/LOOP MODE: 

To enter GATE/LOOP mode, select an envelope

button to enter editing mode and then the GATE and the 

LOOP button so that they are both lit. 

In this mode, a loop will cycle within the pulsewidth of the 

incoming gate. It will start looping at the rise of the gate and  

stop looping when the gate pulsewidth ends at zero.

LINK MODE:

Link Mode allows you to link envelope channels 

2-4 to the same incoming trigger/gate input on 

channel 1. 

To link: Hold down channel button 1 while

selecting 2-4. You will now see that when you

press the channel 1 button, the buttons for the

other channels that are linked will also be lit.
