The Envelopes are positioned below the Oscillators and below the Filters

they belong to, left and right of the Mod Matrix. The Modulation Envelopes
and the Main Envelope are on the left below the Oscillators.

All envelopes are exactly the same. They are of AHDSFR type but can also
act like a conventional ADSR envelope. AHDSFR stands for

Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain, Fade, Release


and are classic ADSR plus a Hold phase which determines a time span

between end of Attack and start of Decay and the Fade phase where the
sustain can either fade in or out.

An Envelope which IS synced to tempo

Note the Scaling Dials are disabled

Next to the Envelope label you find a switch to either run the envelope with

freely adjustable times or with times synced to the host tempo. If an
envelope is synced to the host tempo, each time is set in a fraction of 1/16

th

note, so 1.00 means exactly 1/16

th

note. Hint: If the timing it seems not be

quite right, check the Mod Matrix to see if maybe the envelope time is

modulated, which might interfere with the intention to lock it to a certain
tempo.

Envelope time modulation allows to change the time being set here to be

varied in a wide range, so if you for example set a Decay of 100 ms it may
be modulated down to 1.5 ms and up to 6.4 seconds.

ATTENTION: When you set a time of 0 there is no modulation possible
because modulation is always relative to the current time.

A synced Envelope does not allow Pitch- or Velocity scaling. Times are
