Sampler parameters – page 4 of 6: MODULATION ENVELOPE and DESTINATION
MODULATION ENVELOPE
The MODULATION ENVELOPE section offers an additional envelope allowing further modification
(or “modulation”) of specific Sampler parameters according to the way you play on the pads. Its
parameters are matched to those of the AMPLITUDE ENVELOPE section on page 2 (see Page 1:
Voice Settings / Engine , so that you have either an ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release)
envelope or an AHD (Attack, Hold, Decay) envelope to modulate your parameters. If you choose
One-shot mode, only the AHD envelope (pictured) will be available for modulation.
Envelope
Controls
Description
Attack The time it takes for the envelope to reach its maximum level.
Hold How long the envelope will stay at its maximum level.
Decay With Decay you adjust how fast the envelope drops to the sustain level in
ADSR mode; in AHD mode it is used to adjust how fast the envelope fades
out.
Sustain The envelope level that will be maintained as long as the note is played.
Release The time for the sustain level to return to zero after the note has ended.
DESTINATION
This is where you define modulation targets for the modulation envelope, i.e. the parameters you
want this envelope to control. The knobs adjust the amount of modulation for the following
targets:
Parameter Modulation Destination
Pitch Tune parameter of the PITCH / GATE section on the Pitch / Envelope page
(page 2).
Cutoff Cutoff parameter of the FILTER section (with filter types LP2 , HP2 , BP2 only) on
the FX / Filter page (page 3).
Drive Drive parameter of the FX section on the FX / Filter page (page 3).
Pan Pan parameter on the Audio page of the Sound’s Output properties (see
Configuring the Main Output of Sounds and Groups for more information).
