ADDITIONAL CONTROLS

On  the  right  of  the  panel are  three  faders  that  do not  exist in  the  original 

Ondes Martenot

.  These are 

Detune

Wide

, and 

Sat

, and introduce a detune 

(with  width  control),  and  a  saturation  overdrive.  If  you  want  an  authentic 

Ondes

 sound, these should be left in the OFF position, but for creating new 

sounds they can be very useful.

ADSR DIALS

At the  bottom of the  panel,  on the  right,  there  are  four  dials  that give  you 
control over the envelope.  

A.D.S.R = Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release.  

In fact,  the 

Ondes Martenot

 has no envelope  generator at all,  and all of the 

dynamics  are  controlled  in  real  time  by  the  player  (more  about  this  later).   
But for ease of use, we’ve provided an ADSR if you want to use it.
