The Envelope Control (ENVCTL) Page
Note:
Since 0 multiplied by any number equals 0, the envelope parameters on this page will have no effect
on any AMPENV sections set to 0 seconds. A way around this is to change any AMPENV sections set to 0
to 0.02 seconds.

Adjust
This is the familiar Coarse adjust found on many other pages. Use it here to change the rate of one
of the envelope sections without reprogramming the envelope itself. This parameter doesn’t give
you realtime control over the envelope. It is, however, a good way to adjust the natural envelopes
without switching to a User envelope and trying to approximate the Natural envelope.
Key Tracking
This uses the MIDI note number of each key as the control input for the current layer’s
corresponding envelope section. When the value of this parameter is greater than
1.000x
, notes
above C 4 will make the envelope section run faster, while notes below C 4 will make it run
slower. When the value of this parameter is less than
1.000x
, notes above C 4 will make the
envelope section run slower, and notes below C 4 will make it run faster. This gives you realtime
envelope control right from your MIDI controller. You might use it, for example, to cause an
acoustic guitar sound to decay quicker at the high end of the keyboard (set the key tracking to a
positive value).
Velocity Tracking
Use your attack velocity as the control input for the current layer’s attack section (this parameter
doesn’t apply to decay or release). When the value of this parameter is greater than
1.000x
, attack
velocities greater than 64 make the attack section run faster, and attack velocities below 64 make
it run slower. This gives you realtime attack control over the envelope.
Source, Depth
These two parameters work together to let you assign a control like the Mod Wheel to affect the
current layer’s amplitude envelope in realtime. The value of the Source parameter defines which
control affects the envelope section, and the value of the Depth parameter defines how much the
rate is multiplied when the control is at its maximum value, 127. No effect is had when the
control is at its minimum value, 0, and Depth values are scaled for controller values in between.
