Modulation Envelope
This is a simple type of envelope only comprising Attack, Decay and Amount controls.
Attack
This is used to set the time it takes for the envelope to reach “full level” after you have pressed a key.
Decay
When the attack phase is over, the envelope drops back to zero level. The Decay knob is used to set how
long this should take.
There’s another difference between the way this envelope works compared to the other: It will start over
from “zero” each time you press a new key, regardless of which value it had when you released the key.
Amount
This is used to set to what degree the envelope should affect the destination. This knob is bi-polar, that
is, zero amount is in the middle (twelve o’clock). Turning it left introduces a negative envelope and turn-
ing it right gives you a positive envelope.
Destination
None:
You can turn off both LEDs, to completely turn off the effect of the Modulation envelope. While
this is the same is setting Amount to its centre position, this method is simply quicker.
FM Amt:
When this is selected the envelope is routed to the amount of FM modulation. Varying the
amount of FM changes the harmonic contents of the sound, so this can be used to have the timbre change
pretty much like when the Filter envelope is used to change the Filter Frequency.
Please note that this parameter operates in addition to the FM amount setting in the Oscillator section.
