AMOUNT TO FILTER:
For the filter envelope, there is a control that adjusts the amount that the filter envelope signal
modulates the filter. It has both positive and negative values. If it is set to a positive value, say
+2, The envelope will add to the Cutoff control. If it is a negative value, say –2, the envelope will
subtract from the Cutoff control.
KEYBOARD/ ON/EXTERNAL:
The Envelopes are started by a gate signal. The envelopes will sustain as long as a gate signal
is still present. When the gate is off, the release of the envelope happens. The switch labeled
Keyboard/ On/External selects whether the envelopes are triggered from the keyboard, or from a
programmable gate source. When Keyboard triggering is selected, the envelopes are triggered by
a MIDI Note On. When the switch is set for On/ external, the Envelope gate sources are set by the
programmable gate sources, in EDIT mode, called “Fil. ENV Gate SRC” and “Vol. ENV Gate SRC”.
The default for the programmable gate sources is “Env Gate Input” which defaults to “On”. In this
case the envelopes sustain at the level determined by the sustain controls. This is useful for keeping
the envelopes sustaining without holding a key down, when you want to process an external audio
signal through the filters with out using the keyboard, or create drones. This also allows separate
gate sources for the two envelopes.
RELEASE ON/OFF
The Release time of the Envelopes can be set by the Release control, or this control can be
switched off. It is switched on or off in the PANEL mode menu, or by a MIDI CC message 64 (0-
63=0ff, 64-127=on). Note that this function is actually a divider for the release time, so if the
Release control is set to 10, the release of the envelopes will not be absolutely abrupt with the
Release switched off.
