ENVELOPES SECTION
This section contains all the Knobs & buttons associated with the Envelopes. The Envelopes are used to shape a sound over time.
Env 1 ( the Amplifier Envelope ) is assigned to the Amplifier & controls the Volume of the Program. It is used to decide how quickly
the sound starts when you play a note & how it sustains & dies away. Similarly Env 2 & Env 3 can be used to create tonal changes
over tome by modulating the Filters Cutoff Frequency and/or Resonance in a similar fashion or can be used to create sweeping
pitch shifts, Pulse Width Modulation, Sync & Osc Mix sweeps.

When this button is pressed a series of pages is available on the display containing parameters relevant to this section.
In the Envelope section there are 10 pages available.
There are a maximum of 2 parameters displayed on any page. One for each line on the display. The upper & lower Data knobs on
the right of the display are used to alter these parameter’s values.
Page 1 looks like so:
The lower parameter is “Env 1 MWheel”. In this case with a value of +10.
This parameter controls the volume of the Program using the Mod Wheel. With the higher Data knob fully anticlockwise, the Mod
Wheel alters the volume of the Program & it drops correspondingly. With the lower Data knob fully clockwise the Mod Wheel alters
the volume of the Program gets louder correspondingly. The range of this parameter is -64 to +63. This parameter is memorised
with a Program.
The higher parameter is “Env 1 ATouch”. In this case with a value of +10.
This parameter controls the volume of the Program using the Aftertouch. With the upper Data knob fully anticlockwise when the
Aftertouch is applied the volume of the Program drops correspondingly. With the upper Data knob fully clockwise when the
Aftertouch is applied the volume of the Program gets louder correspondingly. The range of this parameter is -64 to +63. This para-
meter is memorised with a Program.
Page 2 looks like so:
The higher parameter is “Env 1 level track”. In this case with a value of +00.
In conjunction with the “Env 1 level note” parameter below these parameters control the amount of envelope modulation in relation
to the note played on the master keyboard. This is particularly useful when dealing with more complex FM synthesis. Use the high-
er Data knob to adjust this parameter. When this parameter is set to a +ve value the amount of modulation applied by the envelope
increases as higher notes are played on the master keyboard up to the setting of the “Env level note” parameter, at which point full
modulation is applied. When this parameter is set to a -ve value the amount of modulation applied by the envelope decreases as
higher notes are played on the master keyboard from the setting of the “Env level note” parameter. Below are diagrams outlining
the function.
