Filter Envelope

Additional Filter Envelope Parameters (Display Menus)

Additional Filter parameters are accessible through the menus in the 

main display. To see these menus, adjust any of the filter envelope controls 

in the 

envelopes

 section of front panel. The envelope parameters are in 

the first two menu tabs.

VCF Env Amt

VCF ADSR

Attack:

 0...127

—Sets the attack time of the envelope. The higher the 

setting, the slower the attack time and the longer it takes for a sound to 
reach its full volume. Pads typically have softer (longer) attacks. Percus-
sive sounds have sharper (shorter) attacks.

Decay:

 0...127

—Sets the decay time of the envelope. After a sound 

reaches its full volume at its attack stage, 

decay

 controls how quickly the 

sound transitions to the level set with the 

sustain

 control. The higher the 

setting, the longer the decay. Percussive sounds, such as synth bass, typi-
cally have shorter decays.

Sustain:

 0...127

—Sets the sustain level of the envelope. The higher the 

setting, the louder the sustained portion of the sound will be. The sound 
will stay at this level for as long as a note is held on the keyboard.

Release:

 0...127

—Sets the release time of the envelope. This controls 

how quickly a sound dies out after a note is released.

VCF Env Amt

VCF ADSR

Env Amount:

 -127...127

—Sets the amount of modulation from the filter 

envelope to the filter’s cutoff frequency. Any setting above zero means 

that each time you strike a key, the filter envelope controls how the filter 

opens and closes. Higher amounts more dramatically affect the cutoff 
frequency. This control is bipolar. Positive settings produce standard 
behavior. Negative settings invert the envelope. 

Velocity On/Off: 

On, Off

—Allows key velocity to influence filter cutoff 

frequency. If on, the harder you play, the more the filter will open and the 

brighter the sound will be. If off, key velocity will not affect the filter. 

This control allows for more touch-sensitive sounds. 

Delay:

 0...127

—Sets a delay between the time the envelope is triggered 

(note on) and when the attack portion actually begins. 

Env Repeat:

 Off, On

—When on, the Delay, Attack, and Decay segments 

of the envelope repeat. Sustain still affects the level at which the Decay 

segment ends, but instead of sustaining at a fixed level while a note is 

gated on, Delay, Attack, and Decay loop until the note is turned off. The 
Release segment begins when the note is gated off, just as it does when 
Repeat is off.
