Envelopes
Controls
The amplitude and filter envelopes are both of the standard
ADSR type, but with extra control over the shape of the curves.
The upper 4 knobs control the attack time, decay time, sustain
level and release time.
The lower 3 knobs control the shape of the attack, decay and
release curves.
Infinite Release
The filter envelope release setting has a special value (at full
clockwise rotation of the control) labelled 'Inf'. When this set-
ting is made, the envelope stops at the sustain level, and does
not decay to zero when the note is released.
Saturation
The saturation section lets you apply subtle or extreme
distortion/overdrive effects to the sample (before being fed to
the filter section).
The 'Saturation Amount' control applies boost to the signal as it
passes through the saturation effect, thus increasing its tendency to saturate.
The 'Saturation Shape' control affects the nature of the waveshaping applied to the signal.
At a value of 0.0, the effect is simple hard clipping. At 1.0, the effect is soft clipping. Be-
yond 1.0 the effect is increasingly more extreme waveshaping.
Filter
The filter 'type' control lets you smoothly choose between
no filtering, lowpass filtering, bandpass filtering and
highpass filtering.
The filter cutoff and resonance ('Q') controls function ex-
actly as you would expect.
The envelope amount control sets how much the filter envelope modulates the filter cutoff.
