notes. Select all the active partials and tap Carrier, then
ADSR 1 . Select the Vol Env Attack option and swipe up
to around 4000ms. You’ll see the graphical
representation of the selected partial’s envelopes change
and rather than individual envelopes, they blend into
one another. Now if you play a note or chord, you’ll
hear that you’ve turned a plucky string instrument into
a pad. You can increase the
Vol Env Release time and
set the Vol Env Sustain to >90% to complete the
transformation.
Modulator Envelope
As you might discern from the diagram in the previous section, the modulator
envelope – sometimes called the harmonic envelope, since it adds harmonic
complexity – dictates when and how much FM modulation is applied to the
carrier waveform per partial. There’s no point repeating ourselves, but if we
listed the table for volume envelope again, for the modulator wave, the
Decay
Shape would be absent, because it is one parameter that controls all decays. Also,
the Decay Adjust would be absent for the same reason. In its place is the FM
Adjust . This parameter, if set to something other than 100%, increases (or
decreases) the FM amount as you play up and down the keyboard from Middle
C. It’s a simple mechanism to colour the sound depending on what notes you’re
playing.
For a demonstration of how dramatically the modulator
envelope can change the sound, try this: load Rock
Keyboard [RW 2-7] to a track and play a few notes.
Select all the active partials and tap
Mod then ADSR 1 .
Select the FM Env Release option and swipe down to
0ms. Also tap FM Env Decay and reduce this to around
12ms. Now if you play a note or chord, you’ll hear that
you’ve quickly turned a grungy lead sound into an
