C2. TIMBRE
Timbre parameter “detunes” the sound without affecting the
reference note making strange tuning-filter effects. This is a
setting that encourages experimentation...
C3. Master filter & Resonance
The Master Filter is common to both layers. The cutoff slider is
neutral at the center position. This allows you to choose
between a Hi-pass filter (when sliding towards the right) and
a Lo-pass filter (when sliding to the left). Resonance controls
the amount of resonance of the filter. The MASTER Cutoff res-
ponds to MIDI CC#74 and Resonance responds to CC#71
D1. Filter Envelope
Filter envelope
This envelope affects the multimode filter, depending on the
envelope setting. Turn the envelope knob fully to the right
before experimenting with it.
The envelope is made of four stages: Attack, Decay, Sustain
and Release. It is usually more difficult to set this envelope
because of the relationship with the filter. Long attack times
will provide you with slowly opening filters.
Often neglected, this great tool can change a preset comple-
tely. However, there are no hard and fast rules for filter enve-
lope settings: feel free to experiment, and you’re likely to dis-
cover new sounds.
Velocity time knob & A/D switch
This knob allows you to set how much the attack (A) or the
decay (D) time will be modified by velocity. Both envelope
stages can be modulated simultaneously.
Velocity Sensitivity
This knob allows the velocity to modulate the envelope set-
tings.
D2. Amplitude Envelope
Amplitude envelope
The classic ADSR sliders (Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release)
help you define the evolution of the audio volume of the
sound over a period of time.
Attack, Decay and Release are TIME settings (i.e. long attack
time or short attack time). The sustain time is infinite by
nature: it lasts for as long as you hold a key. The Sustain is
therefore a VOLUME setting for adjusting how soft or loud the
note is while it is held down.
V-time knob- A/D switch
This knob allows you to set how much the attack (A) or the
decay (D) time will be modified by velocity. Both envelope
stages can be modulated simultaneously.
Sensitivity
This allows the velocity to modulate the envelope settings.
Sample Start
This knob controls where MusePlayer starts playing back the
audio sample. As you increase the sample start time, you may
introduce a more staccatto attack, sometimes even a click,
which may be desirable for some sounds. .
