Zadar offers several settings for complex behav-
ior of individual channels as well as chaining
and looping multiple envelopes across channels.
It is possible to combine up to four envelopes

velopes and modulation waveform patterns can
be obtained this way. note: even when chained,
each envelope appears only on its dedicated
output. In this menu, each knob corresponds
to a separate channel. Push a knob to select the
desired parameter and turn it to edit the value.
The selection of a chain algorithm is per-
formed by operating the red knob (associated

have their trig inputs inactive. Any unchained

The value displayed is a percentage of the entire
cycle length and therefore depends on cycle dura-
tion — longer envelopes allow for longer delays.
Within the looped chain algorithms, the com-
mon behavior is for each envelope to start after
the previous one ends. However, by adjusting
the phase parameter, you can shift the next
envelope so that it starts at any point within the
cycle of the previous one. Therefore, it is possible
to initiate all four envelopes at the same time
(phase set to 0%) or make them start one af-
ter another (phase on channels

shift with respect to the previous envelope in
the chain. For example, if phase is set to 50%,
the chained envelope will be triggered exactly
at the halfway point of the preceding envelope.
For more variations, you can experiment with
setting a different number of repeats for each
channel within a chain.
