halted increases until at 127 there is no Decay at all. The range of this parameter is 000 to 127. This parameter is memorised with
a Program.
The envelope may appear to start decaying even though the note is being held due to the Sustain time parameter for the currently
selected envelope.
The envelope may appear to rise or fall in the sustain phase depending on the setting of the Sustain rate parameter for the current-
ly selected envelope.
Release - Slider ( All Envelopes )
This slider sets how quickly the Envelope drops from the Sustain level to zero once the note has been released. Set to 000, this is
instantaneous increasing exponentially to 20 seconds when set to 127. The range of this parameter is 000 to 127. This parameter
is memorised with a Program.
Velocity - Knob ( ENV 2/3 )
Velocity - Knob ( ENV 1 )
This parameter determines how the Velocity of the notes played on the master keyboard affect the amount of modulation produced
by selected Envelope. In the central position of the Velocity knob there is no Velocity response to the amount of modulation pro-
duced by the selected Envelope. Anticlockwise of centre there will be an increasing amount of negative modulation. i.e. The select-
ed Envelope’s amount of modulation will decrease when notes are struck harder ( with more Velocity ) on the master keyboard.
Clockwise of centre there will be an increasing amount of positive modulation. i.e. The selected Envelope’s amount of modulation
will increase when notes are struck harder ( with more Velocity ) on the master keyboard. The range of this parameter is -64 to
+63. These parameters are memorised with a Program.
Tracking - Knob ( ENV 2/3 )
Tracking - Knob ( ENV 1 )
This parameter modulates the speed of the Attack, Decay & Release times, on the selected Envelope, depending on the key
played on the master keyboard. In the central position of the Tracking knob there is no modulation to the selected Envelope.
Anticlockwise of centre there will be an increasing amount of negative modulation. i.e. The speed of the selected Envelope’s
Attack, Decay & Release times become shorter below C3 & longer above C3 on the master keyboard. Clockwise of centre there
will be an increasing amount of positive modulation. i.e. The speed of the selected Envelope’s Attack, Decay & Release times
become longer below C3 & shorter above C3 on the master keyboard.The range of these parameters is -64 to +63. These parame-
ters are memorised with a Program.
Overload / Poly Limit - Button
This button indicates if the Program level is to high & will light if the currently selected Program is Clipping ( Overloading ). This is
handy when adjusting the Program level parameter. When pressed & held down the the button will light when the polyphony for the
Supernova II Rack is exceeded. This is handy for establishing if overvoicing is occurring. This is best done by pressing the side of
the button so that the light can be clearly observed.
Prog Level - Knob ( ENV 1 )
This parameter determines the overall level of the currently selected program. With 3 Oscillators set at high levels,Filter overdrive
set high & large amounts of resonance, combined with large amounts of notes played can overload the signal path ( Just like a
mixing desk ) This parameter allows the “Gain” of the whole signal path to be set so that distortion does not occur. In fact this para-
meter should be thought of as the “Gain” or “Trim” pot similar to that found on mixing consoles. Overload is indicated by the Clip /
Poly button in the same section. range of these parameters is 000 to 127. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
