Attack
This defines how long the ASR takes to ramp up from minimum to maximum effect on whatever
it’s patched to.
Release
This defines how long the ASR takes to fade to minimum from its maximum. If the ASR’s trigger
switches off before the ASR has reached maximum, the ASR releases from that level.
The Function (FUN) Page
FUN is short for function. The PC3A’s four FUNs greatly extend the flexibility of the control
sources. Each FUN accepts input from any two control sources, performs a selectable function on
the two input signals, and sends the result as its output, which can be assigned like any other
control source. Using the FUNs involves defining them on the FUN page, then assigning one or
more of them as control sources. The FUN page looks like this:
There are three parameters for each FUN. Inputs
a
and
b
can be any control source from the
Control Source list. The control sources you want to combine are the ones you’ll assign as the
values for these parameters.
The Function parameter determines what mathematical function is applied to the two inputs.
When a FUN has been assigned as a control source, the PC3A reads the values of the two control
sources defined as Inputs
a
and
b
. It then processes them according to the setting for the Function
parameter, and the resulting value is the FUN’s output.
