Compressor Envelope
The Compressor has its own set of envelope controls that allow you to fine tune
compression characteristics.
To display the Compressor parameters:
1. Press the
Shift
button and turn the
ComPReSS
knob.
2. Press the Page Down button to display the
env
tRiggeR
parameter.
3. Turn soft knob 4 to select the sound that will trigger the compressor envelope.
4. Press the Page Up button to re-display the Compressor parameters and
adjust them as desired.
Attack
:
0...127—
Sets the attack time of the Compressor.
Peak Hold
:
0…127—
Normally, the decay stage of the envelope begins imme-
diately after the attack stage reaches its ultimate value. Peak briefly holds the
envelope at its peak value, delaying the transition from attack to decay. This can
add extra punch to a Sound’s attack.
Decay
:
0...127—
Sets the decay time of the Compressor.
Amount
:
-127...127—
Sets the amount of modulation from the
enveloPe
tRig
-
geR
(see below) to the Compressor. Use
amount
if you don’t want the Sound to
use the velocity sensitivity of Tempest’s drum pads. The modulation amount can
be positive or negative, allowing for inverted envelope control.
Envelope Trigger
:
Off, Sound A1...A16, Sound B1...B16—
Selects a Sound
from Sound Bank A or B to act as a trigger for the Compressor’s envelope. This
functions like a side-chain on a traditional compressor and allows a signal other
than the main input to control the amount of compression.
