32 Amplifier Envelope

Dave Smith Instruments

To create a program in which velocity controls the VCA, turn vca

envelope

amount

down and turn

velocity

amount

up. To achieve the best results, it may be

necessary to set an initial level using Envelope Amount. Just remember that once

Envelope Amount is set to the maximum, no modulation from velocity—or any other

source—will cause it to go higher than that.

Env Repeat: Off, On

(In the

vca

env

amount

tab of the display)

When on, the Delay, Attack, and Decay segments of the envelope

repeat. Sustain still affects the level at which the Decay segment ends,

but instead of sustaining at a fixed level while a note is gated on, Delay,

Attack, and Decay loop until the note is turned off. The Release segment

begins when the note is gated off, just as it does when Repeat is off. See

the illustration below.
