If this parameter is set to on, then there is no sustain stage — the envelope transitions from
attack to decay to release. Furthermore, it doesn't matter how long you hold down the key; the
envelope always follows this fixed-length program.
If you are using the Loop feature of the envelope, this parameter will have further effects on the
envelope behavior, and these will be discussed below.
Loop: These settings determine how the envelope is used when notes are held down
(sustained).
off
The envelope acts normally. (When the end of the envelope is reached, the note stops
playing.)
attack/decay
The envelope loops through the attack and decay stages. (If Freerun is on, the envelope
will even continue looping after you release the note. You will usually only want to use this
configuration with your filter or pitch/mod envelopes. If you set up the amp envelope to loop
forever, you'll only be able to stop it by playing a lot of other notes at once to steal the
voice.)
entire envelope
The envelope loops through the entire envelope. As in attack/decay, if Freerun is on, the
envelope will continue looping after you release the note.
while note held
The envelope loops through the attack and decay stages, but only while the note is held
down, regardless of the Freerun setting.
Sus Pedal (Sustain Pedal)
on
The MINIAK treats the sustain pedal as if you are holding notes down on the keyboard,
keeping notes within the sustain section of the envelope as long as the sustain pedal is held
down.
off
The MINIAK ignores the sustain pedal relative to the envelope. The envelope goes into the
release stage when the note is released.
12. Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) settings
TempoSync (Tempo Synchronization)
fixed rate
The LFO rate is independent of the tempo set with the [TAP
TEMPO] button.
follow tempo
The LFO's rate is a multiple of the tempo set with the [TAP
TEMPO] button.
If
TempoSync is off , the rate is adjustable from 0.010 – 1000 Hz
(cycles per second).
If
TempoSync is on , the rate represents a fraction of the tempo
set with the [TAP TEMPO] button. When the value is set to x 1
("times one"), the LFO will complete its cycle once per quarter
note, relative to the tempo setting. When the value is set to
x 2 ,
the LFO will cycle once per eighth note. A value of x 16 results in
an LFO cycle of 1/64th note, and a value of x 1/ 16 results in an
LFO cycle equivalent to sixteen quarter notes.
Quick access to editing
To jump to the Low Frequency
Oscillator category, hold down
the
[PROGRAMS] button and
press the key labeled "LFO."
It's bipolar.
Synthesizer LFOs can be either
"unipolar" (rising and falling in the
>= 0 range) or "bipolar" (rising
and falling through both positive
and negative values).
The MINIAK's LFOs are bipolar.
You can make them act like
unipolar designs by programming
a counteracting positive offset in
the modulation matrix. (Just don't
change the LFO modulation
amount once you've done this, or
your offset won't be accurate
anymore.)
