Filter Slope (
SloPe
button)
the slope of a filter determines how steep the frequency
attenuation curve is, when the filter is introduced at the
cutoff frequency.

the

button sets the filter in Velocity mode. In
this mode the Filter ENV amount will change depending
on the note velocity data; the harder you play, the more
effect will the Filter Envelope have on the Filter Frequency.

Filter Envelope
the Filter Envelope is used to modulate or control the Filter
Frequency cutoff in the time frame from when a key is
pressed down, to after it has been released again.
By modulating the filter with an envelope, the sound can
be given its harmonic “shape”. By setting up a proper filter
envelope you can make a sound “soft”, “hard”, “plucked”
“static” etc.
•
When a key is pressed, the envelope starts at the zero
level, and gradually reaches the maximum level during
the time set by the attack time (
AttAck
knob).
When it has reached the maximum level the envelope
•
will gradually fade to the Sustain Level (
SuStAiN
knob),
during the time set by the decay time (
decAy
knob).
When the key is released, the modulation will instantly
•
start to fade to zero during the time set by the release
time (
releASe
knob). the release phase of the envelope
will begin as soon as a key is released.
the attack phase is the time it takes for the modulation to
go from zero to the maximum modulation after a key has
been pressed.
A very short attack time could produce a click in the
•
beginning of the sound. This is a normal physical phe-
nomenon. To eliminate this, just increase the attack
time slightly.
