A (Attack):
Vanes the VCA envelope attack time from 01 to 32 (higher values increase the attack
time).
H (Hold):
Sets the duration of the peak. If a key is held down longer than the hold duration, the
decay phase will begin, If a key is released during the hold duration, the release phase
will begin
D (Decay):
Varies the initial decay time from 01 to 32 (higher values increase the initial decay
time). A value of 32 gives “infinite decay” – the envelope stays at maximum amplitude
for as long as you hold down keys.
S (Sustain):
Varies the envelope sustain level from 01 to 32 (higher values give higher sustain
levels).
R (Release):
Varies the release time from 01 to 32 (higher values increase the release time). A
setting of 32 inhibits the release phase of the envelope, thus keeping the VCA open at
the previously selected Sustain level. This is useful if you want to trigger a long sound
by simply tapping a key.
3. After making your selections, press
ENTER
to return to the Module Identifier.
Note:
If the filter and VCA release are both at 32 (also see
ANALOG PROCESSING 14
), a key will
sustain at the sustain level even after you take your fingers off the keys. This is like the HOLD
function found on standard synthesizers. The sound will continue to sustain unless you play
more notes than there are available channels, in which case previously assigned channels will
be assigned to newly played notes.
Module: ANALOG PROCESSING 13
Function: FREQUENCY, 0,
ENVELOPE AMOUNT, TRACKING
This function determines the filter’s Initial cutoff frequency and 0 (sharpness), the extent to which
the associated AHDSR envelope affects the filter cutoff frequency, and the effect of keyboard
position on cutoff frequency.
Application:
Change the timbral quality of a sound.
1. Activate
ANALOG PROCESSING 13
. The display will say:
...where X is a numeral.
Hint:
Fitter and VCA settings interact. For example, if the VCA is set for an extremely short decay,
then you won’t hear the effects of setting a long filter decay.
2. Select the desired parameter for adjustment with the cursor buttons, then use the data slider to
change the parameter value. These are the parameters:
Freq:
Varies the low pass filter cutoff from 0 to 120. Higher values correspond to higher filter cutoff
frequencies, hence a sound with more treble. The maximum filter sweep range is most obvious
with Env set to +00.
Q:
Varies the 0 (resonance) from 00 to 99. Higher values correspond to increased resonance,
accentuating the filter cutoff frequency, which gives a purer, more whistling sound.
