Envelope Follower and ADSR

As mentioned earlier, the envelope section
operates in two modes: Envelope Follower
or ADSR Envelope. The controls are
arranged such that, so far as is possible,
they apply to both modes of operation.
However, depending on the mode, other
functions—or perhaps no function—are
assigned to the controls.

Envelope Follower

The Envelope Follower is enabled when
the Gate/Env switch is set to the 

Env

position. The Intern/Extern switch then
selects the input signal for the envelope
follower (see the 

Mode chapter). The

envelope follower examines the amplitude
of the input signal and converts it to a signal
for use elsewhere as a modulation signal.
The 

Sensitivity control adjusts an optimal

level for the modulation. The 

Attack and

Decay settings adjust the accuracy with
which the envelope follower tracks the input
signal. In this operating mode, the 

Sustain

and 

Release settings are not used.

Sensitivity

Controls the intensity of the of the envelope
follower’s modulation signal. Using the
signal LED you can ascertain the level
supplied by the envelope follower. The LED
brightness follows the signal level. The LED
should light brightly at the loudest
passages, and continue to follow the signal
otherwise. If the LED is constantly lit, the
envelope follower is overridden. In this
case reduce the sensitivity somewhat.

Attack

Controls the time the envelope follower
takes to respond to rising levels of the input
signal.

Decay

Controls the time the envelope follower
takes to respond to falling levels of the
input signal.
