VCF Envelope

The VCF Envelope controls the filter cutoff position via the Filter Modulation Knob on the Filter (VCF) over time.

Attack Knob

This control determines the initial rise time of the VCF envelope. The shortest time is selected by setting it fully counter-clockwise.

Decay Knob

This control determines the fall time of the VCF envelope down to the level set by the sustain control while a key on the keyboard is being held down. If the sustain control is at its maximum position, this control has no effect on the sound. If the sustain control is set completely off, this control determines completely the decay characteristics of the VCF envelope.

Sustain Knob

This control determines the level of the VCF envelope following the initial decay (set by the decay control).

Release Knob

This control determines the fall time of the VCF envelope of a particular voice after the key controlling that voice is released. If the sustain control is set at its maximum position, this control completely determines the decay characteristics of the VCF envelope.

Loop Switch

Typically, an envelope executes once when you play a note. However, when set to "Free" or "Retrig" modes, the envelope’s attack and decay stages will loop continuously. In "Retrig" mode, the envelope restarts each time the note is pressed. In "Free" mode, all envelopes synchronize to the first note pressed, looping independently of subsequent notes.

VCA Envelope

The VCA Envelope controls the overall volume of the instrument over time (pre FX).

Attack Knob

This control determines the initial rise time of the VCA envelope. The shortest time is selected by setting it fully counter-clockwise.

Decay Knob

This control determines the fall time of the VCA envelope down to the level set by the sustain control while a key on the keyboard is being held down. If the sustain control is at its maximum position, this control has no effect on the sound. If the sustain control is set completely off, this control determines completely the decay characteristics of the VCA envelope.
