KEY TRACK 2/3
Routes the Oscillator pitch CV to the Filter so the sound will
brighten as you play up the keyboard 2/3 strength.
ATTACK
Sets the FILTER Attack time. The ATTACK time determines the
initial segment of the envelope. The frequency at which the
CONTOUR begins is determined by the CUTOFF setting, while
the peak, which it reaches, is determined by the CUTOFF and
CONTOUR amount settings combined. Incrementing the
ATTACK knob with a healthy CONTOUR amount from 1 m-sec
to approximately 10 seconds will result in the brightness of the
sound increasing sharply at 1st, and then more gradually as
the
ATTACK time lengthens.
DECAY
Sets the Decay time. The DECAY time determines the duration
of the second segment of the envelope, i.e., the fall from the
ATTACK peak to the SUSTAIN level. When repeatedly triggering
a note/noise and increasing the value (with a robust CONTOUR
amount ) from 1 m-sec to approximately 20 sec., you will at 1st
hear the brightness drop sharply after the initial
ATTACK . This
drop will become more gradual as the DECAY time lengthens.
SUSTAIN
Sets the Sustain level. The SUSTAIN level determines the fi lter frequency at which the envelope holds after the initial rise and fall.
The frequency of the SUSTAIN level can be as high as the initial peak, which would override the DECAY stage, or it can be as low as
the frequency at which the envelope CONTOUR began. SUSTAIN is only active while a note is held. Also, the Mini's envelope has a
peak slightly higher then the SUSTAIN can reach.
REL
(switch located in OUT)
Switches on Release which is governed by the DECAY time. Release is the fourth and fi nal stage of the envelope contour: after the
initial rise and fall of the ATTACK and DECAY times to the SUSTAIN level, the Release time takes e ff ect after the SUSTAIN level
segment, when the trigger/key/sequence step/CV command terminates. The frequency at which the SUSTAIN level is set then falls to
the initial fi lter cuto ff frequency level, at the rate set by the DECAY time— DECAY being the mind of the afterthought of REL (release).
LEARN
Under the hood hub for MIDI Channel, Aftertouch and Modwheel. MIDI: Hold LEARN and play a note to select channel. Aftertouch:
Hold LEARN and move Modwheel to swap to between Aftertouch and Modwheel control of VCF Cuto ff —its default setting.

Combine 1/3 & 2/3 for full tracking—nice filter as
Western-tuned Oscillator hack. 2/3 TRACK for the bold.
