RE5: Filter Velocity
Displayed as:
FltVeloc
Initial value:
0
Range of adjustment:
-64 to +63
As
Amplitude Velocity
adds touch sensitivity to volume, so
Filter Velocity
can be set to
make ilter action touch sensitive. With positive parameter values, the harder you play the
keys, the greater will be the effect of the ilter. With
Filter Velocity
set to zero, the sound’s
characteristics are the same regardless of how the keys are played. Note that negative
values have the inverse effect.
RE6: Filter Repeat
Displayed as:
FltRept
Initial value:
0
Range of adjustment:
0 to 126, Ininity
When
Filter Repeat
is set to a value other than zero, the Attack and Decay phases of the
envelope are repeated before the Sustain phase is initiated. This has a similar effect to
Amplitude Repeat
and use of either both repeat parameters can create some be quite
striking sounds.
RE7: Filter Touch Trigger
Displayed as:
FltTTrig
Initial value:
Off
Range of adjustment:
Off, T1ReTrig to T8ReTrig, T1Trig to T8Trig, T1Enable to T8Enable
Unlike
Amplitude Touch Trigge
r,
Filter Touch Trigger
has three options per touch-
sensitive control:
Trigger
,
Re-trigger
and
Enable
. However, as with
Amplitude Touch
Trigger
, it is necessary to enable the
Animate Touch
mode by pressing the
TOUCH
button [22] in order to use the function.
Re-Trigger
– acts in a similar way to
Amplitude Re-Trigger
, except that it is the ilter ac-
tion which is re-triggered by touching the selected encoder knob. The note plays as normal
when the key is pressed, touching the knob re-triggers the entire envelope. Re-Trigger
mode is conirmed on Page 1 of the Animate Touch menu by the letter ‘
R
’ in the appropriate
position.
Trigger
- in this mode, the envelope-triggered ilter action is not initiated by pressing a
key, and the note will initially sound with no envelope acting on the ilter. Touching the knob
(while the key is pressed) will trigger the ilter envelope.
Trigger mode
is conirmed on
Page 1 of the Animate Touch menu by the letter ‘
T
’ in the appropriate position.
Enable
– in this mode, the envelope-triggered ilter action is initiated by the keyboard, but
only while the knob is being touched. Thus you can very easily lip between the sound with
and without the action of the envelope on the ilter.
Enable
mode is conirmed on Page 1 of
the Animate Touch menu by the letter ‘
E
’ in the appropriate position.
RE8: Filter Multi-trigger
Displayed as:
FltMTrig
Initial value:
Re-Trig
Range of adjustment:
Legato or Re-Trig
This operates in a very similar way to
Amplitude Multi-trigger
. When set to
Re-Trig
,
each note played will trigger its full ADSR envelope, even if other keys are held down.
With the envelope applied to the ilter section, this means that the effect of any envelope-
triggered iltering will be heard on every note. When set to
Legato
, only the irst key to be
pressed will produce a note with the full envelope and thus produce any iltering effect. All
subsequent notes will lack any dynamic iltering. Remember that for the
Legato
mode to be
operative, mono voicing must be selected – it will not work with polyphonic voicing. See page 18.
See page 20for more details about Legato style.
Envelope 2 (Filter) parameters (Page 2)
RE1: Filter Attack Slope
Displayed as:
FltAtSlp
Initial value:
0
Range of adjustment:
0 to 127
This parameter controls the “shape” of the attack characteristic as applied to the ilters.
With a value of 0, any iltering effect applied to the Attack phase increases linearly – that is
to say, increases by equal amounts in equal time intervals. A non-linear attack characteristic
may be selected as an alternative, where the ilter effect increases more rapidly at irst.
RE2: Filter Decay Slope
Displayed as:
FltDcSlp
Initial value:
127
Range of adjustment:
0 to 127
This corresponds to
Filter Attack Slope
in the same manner that
Amplitude Decay
Slope
corresponds to
Amplitude Attack Slope
. Thus the linearity of the reaction of the
ilter section during the Decay phase of the envelope can be varied, from linear to a more
exponential slope, where any ilter effect is more pronounced during the irst part of the Decay
phase.
RE3: Filter Attack Track
Displayed as:
FltAttTk
Initial value:
0
Range of adjustment:
-64 to +63
Like
Amplitude Attack Track
, this parameter relates a note’s attack time to its position on
the keyboard. When
Filter Attack
Track has a positive value, the iltering effect during the
Attack phase of a note is shortened as you go up the keyboard. Conversely, lower notes
have their attack time increased. When a negative value is applied, the relationships are
reversed.
RE4: Filter Decay Track
Displayed as:
FltDecTk
Initial value:
0
Range of adjustment:
-64 to +63
This parameter works in exactly the same way as
Attack Track
, except that it is the ilter
effect during the Decay phase of a note that becomes dependent on its keyboard position.
RE5: Filter Sustain Rate
Displayed as:
FltSusRt
Initial value:
Flat
Range of adjustment:
-64 to Flat to +63
With a value of Flat, ilter frequency remains constant during the Sustain phase of the note.
If
Filter Sustain Rate
is given a positive value, the ilter frequency continues to increase
during the Sustain phase, thus the character of the note continues altering audibly for
longer. With low values of
Filter Sustain Rate
, the change is slow, and increases in rapid-
ity as the value is increased. With negative values, the ilter frequency decreases during the
Sustain phase. See page 21 for an illustration.
RE6: Filter Sustain Time
Displayed as:
FltSusTm
Initial value:
127
Range of adjustment:
0 to 126, Keyoff
This parameter also applies to the Sustain phase, and sets how long any envelope-trig-
gered iltering remains active. When set to
Keyoff
, the iltering remains applied continu-
ously until the key is released. Any lower value of
Sustain Time
will cause the iltering
effect to suddenly stop before the note ends, and you will be left with release phase of the
envelope. This does, of course, only occur if the
Amplitude Sustain Time
is longer than
the
Filter Sustain Time
, otherwise the note will stop sounding altogether before the ilter
has cut off.
RE7: Filter Level Track
Displayed as:
FltLvlTk
Initial value:
0
Range of adjustment:
-64 to +63
This parameter works in a similar way to the other “tracking” parameters, but it is the depth
with which the envelope is applied to the ilter which alters, in relation to the interval be-
tween the note played and the
Track Note
set by
RE8
. With a positive value, the envelope-
triggered iltering effect becomes progressively more pronounced for notes higher than
the
Track Note
the further from the
Track Note
they are, and vice-versa. With a negative
value, notes higher than the
Track Note
undergo progressively less iltering the further
from the
Track Note
they are, and again, vice-versa.
Common Envelope Parameter
See page 21. The
Track Reference Note
parameter is available at
RE8
on Page 2 of the
menu for every Envelope.
Envelopes 3 to 6 parameters (Page 1)
In addition to dedicated Amplitude and Filter envelopes, the UltraNova is equipped with
four further assignable envelopes, Envelopes 3 to 6. Control of these can be selected with
the
SELECT
button [10]. These envelopes have virtually the same set of parameters as the
