Envelopes

Mopho x4 has three 5-stage (Delay + ADSR) envelope generators per voice.

Two are dedicated—one to the filter and the other to the amplifier—and the

third is assignable to any modulation destination.

Envelope Select

—Selects the envelope to edit. When all three are lighted, the

other envelope parameters control all three envelopes simultaneously.

Amount: -127...127

—Sets the amount of modulation from the envelope to the

destination: filter, amplifier, or the selected destination for envelope 3. The

modulation amount can be positive or negative, allowing for inverted envelope

control. (For the VCA, the range is 0-127, since you can't have a negative gain

on a VCA!)

Delay: 0...127

—Sets a delay between the time the envelope is gated on and

when the Attack portion actually begins

Attack: 0...127

—Sets the attack time of the selected envelope(s).

Decay: 0...127

—Sets the decay time of the selected envelope(s).

Sustain: 0...127

—Sets the sustain time of the selected envelope(s).

Release: 0...127

—Sets the release time of the selected envelope(s).

Velocity: 0...127

—Sets the amount of key velocity used to modulate the

envelope amount.

Other Envelope Parameters
There are two additional parameters for envelope 3 in the Miscellaneous

Parameters section.

Envelope 3 Destination

—Sets the destination modulated by envelope 3. See

Modulation Destinations on page 33 for a list of possible destinations.

Envelope 3 Repeat: Off, On

—When on, causes the delay, attack, decay, and

sustain portions of Envelope 3 to loop for as long as the envelope is gated on.

With repeat on, envelope 3 can even be used as a sort of complex LFO.
