Please note that negative values are also possible, so
the VCA envelope is used inverted. A setting of 0
switches the VCA off (as with Microwave 1). The
reason for this is that M applies all modulations
(EG * EG Amount) as CV source and not to the VCA
CV itself (as for example for the VCF). So if there is 0
as EG Amount, no sound is hearable.
Velocity
Specifies how much volume will be affected by keyboard
velocity. Use this feature to give more expression to the
sound. With a setting of
0
, velocity will have no effect on
the volume. Classic organs work in this way because they
do not have dynamic response. For positive settings, the
volume rises up to higher velocities. This is the most com-
monly used setting which gives a piano-like character. For
negative settings, the volume falls up to higher velocities.
This gives an untypical character suitable for effect sounds.
As the Amplifier always works in conjunction with the VCA
Envelope, this parameter actually determines the envelope
velocity amount.

You need use the VCA envelope by setting its enve-
lope amount or velocity parameters different to 0;
otherwise there will be no output at all. Therefore
you must define the volume envelope in a useful way
even if you intend to use another envelope to shape
the sounds loudness.
The VCA Display Parameters
=
Press the
VCA
button above the display to show the
VCA display pages. The current selected VCA page is
shown in the upper right corner of the display, e.g.
VCA>Volume&Pan
. Use the
Sound/System
encoder to
scroll through the display pages.
r
All VCA display pages also inform you about the
current made modulations.
