Sound Parameter
Pulse 2 User Manual
26
Rate
OFF / 0...127
Sets the glide time. Low settings will give a short glide
time in a range of milliseconds that gives a special cha-
racter to the sound. Higher settings will result in a long
glide time of up to several seconds which can be useful
for solo and effect sounds. With the setting
OFF
, the
Glide
function is deactivated.
Mode
NORM / FNGR / FNON / FNOFF
Determines the way the Glide effect works.
•
NORM
means that a continuous glide is performed
on all new notes.
•
FNGR
means that a continuous glide is performed
only when notes are played legato. Staccato play-
ed notes start on the exact pitch of their note.
•
FNON
is similar to
FNGR
, but it only glides when
legato notes are triggered.
•
FNOFF
is similar to
FNGR
, but it glides back to the
former played note when releasing the actual note.
The Envelope Section (ENV F and ENV A)
The Pulse 2 envelopes allow you to manipulate sound
parameters via rate or timed modulations. The Pulse 2
offers two independent programmable envelopes with
linear attack and exponential decay and release for
every sound:
•
A Filter Envelope (
ENV F
). This envelope is fixed
to control the filter but can also be used for other
modulations.
•
An Amplifier Envelope (
ENV A
). This envelope is
fixed to control the sound volume, but can also be
used for other modulations.
Attack
0...127
Determines the attack rate or amount of time it takes for
a signal to go from zero to the maximum level.
Decay
0...127
Determines the decay rate or amount of time it takes for
a signal to reach the
Sustain
level.
