Vector and Vector Envelope
55
When the Vector Envelope is in use, the Vector Joystick offsets the Vector Envelope position by up to halfway across
either axis. For instance, if the Envelope is all the way to the right of the X axis, and the Joystick is all the way to the left,
the actual Vector position will be in the center of the X axis.
Vector Volume Control and modulation
Vector does several things:
• It generates four per-voice modulation signals, Vector Env A/B/C/D
• It generates similar modulation signals at the Performance level, shared by all voices, for modulation of things like
effects and the Performance Mod Knobs
• When Enable Volume is
On
, it also controls the relative volumes of Layers A-D on a per-voice basis
You can also use the Vector Joystick’s X- and Y-axes as modulation sources, independent from the Vector Envelope.
Since the Vector Envelope’s settings are stored in the Performance, it’s best used for Performance-specific purposes,
such as changing parameters (e.g. filter cutoff) in conjunction with volume, or interactions between layers.
Position
This table shows the X-Y coordinates for each point, which also translate into the Vector Env modulation outputs. You
can edit these by hand if desired, or simply use the graphic editor. Unlike volumes, modulation outputs are not clipped
to the diamond shape.
Positions, times, and Time Scale are modulatable from channel sources such as the Mod Wheel, MIDI CCs, and
Performance Mod Knobs as well as by velocity and note number—but not from per-voice sources such as Envelopes
and LFOs.
X (0…3, R)
[-127…+127]
0 is the center;
-127
is far left, and
+127
is far right.
Y (0…3, R)
[-127…+127]
0 is the center;
-127
is top, and
+127
is bottom.
Graphic Editor
This lets you edit the five positions by dragging their points directly. Note that this only affects Position, and not
Duration.
Duration
Each of the five segments has a duration, which is measured in either seconds or note values, depending on the Tempo
parameter.
• The first three durations are the transitions from 0-1, 1-2, and 2-3.
• The fourth duration, 3-Loop, is the transition from 3 to the next point in the loop, which may vary depending on
loop settings.
• The fifth duration, Release, is the transition from the position at note-off to the release point.
Tempo
[On, Off]
This selects whether duration will be specified in seconds (
Off
), or in rhythmic values (
On
).
Time
[0.0000...60.0000 sec]
When Tempo is
Off
, you can set the durations in seconds.
