II.)
You can set the release-time of all involved oscillators to a bigger value.
Version I.) is closest to what you may be used to from other synthesizers. Having an
additional envelope controlled amp for each oscillator is definitely pure luxury – a
luxury however that will show its benefits once we start dealing with phase-modulation
and frequency-modulation
Push the
(Osc-Wave)
-encoder-button to once again open the oscillator-menu
Using the
[Page-Up]
-Button you should now select menu-page 9/26:
9/26:VCO EG Bypass
Osc1:0 Osc2:0 Osc3:0 Osc:0
As you can see with this sound, all EG-bypass controls of the oscillators 1-4 are set
to 0 value. Set the EG-bypass encoder for all oscillators to the maximum value
(255).
Now, when you are playing a key on your keyboard and having set both filter-
envelopes to a high value for the release-time, the new sound will still continue even
after you release the key.
Turn the
“VCO-EG-Bypass”
-button back to 0. We still want to have a look at
version II.)
Push the
(OSC-Wave)
-button once again and use the
[Page-Up]
-button to select
menu-page 2:
2/26:VCO EG
^Osc1:0 ^Osc2:0 ^Osc3:0 ^Osc4:0
The four encoders visible now, are so called macro-encoders. They allow you to
change virtually the whole envelope with just one encoder. The little upward arrows
you see in the display show that you can also use the push-button function of these
encoders to access additional sub-menus.
Please push the first encoder-button
“Osc1:0”
. You will see the following Display
message:
1/5:VCO1 EG
Att:0 Dcy:00 Stn:255 Rls:0
Looking at the envelope setting it’s easy to tell, why your audio signal disappeared
when you let go of the key: only sustain shows as open. attack, decay and release-
time are set to 0 value!
Right from this page you can also access the envelopes of the other oscillators. All
you have to do is push the
[Page-Up]
-button repeatedly. One after another you will
