Envelope 5 Env Trigger Source:
Left/Right/L&R
Input which the
Envelope looks at for
Modulation cues
6 Env Attack Threshold:
-32Ð0dB
Level which triggers the
Envelope to begin
Modulating
7 Env Release Threshold:
-48Ð0dB
Level below which the
Envelope will stop
Modulating and start to
decay
8 Env Attack: 0.00-10.00,
Env Release: 0.00-10.00
Seconds
Time which the
Envelope takes to ramp
up to its peak value
after the Attack
Threshold has been
passed, and the time it
takes to ramp down to
zero after the release
threshold has been
passed.
9 Env Hold Time: 0.00-
10.00 Seconds
The amount of time that
the Envelope will hold
at peak value before the
release segment after
the release threshold
has been passed.
Peak Follower 5 Peak Follower Source:
Left/Right/L&R
Input which the Peak
Follower looks at for
Modulation cues
6 Peak Follower Gain: x1-
x99
Amount of gain for the
input before the Peak
Follower looks at its
signal (for low level
signals)
7 Peak Folw. Decay: 0.20-
10.00 Seconds
After the Generator is
triggered, this is the
rate of the decay
Ramp 5 Ramp Trigger Source:
Left/Right/L&R
Input which the Ramp
looks at for Modulation
cues
6 Ramp Atk. Threshold:
-40Ð0dB
This is the level which
triggers the Ramp to
begin Modulating
7 Ramp Rise Time: 0.00Ð
10.0 Seconds
This is the rate which
the Ramp will rise to its
peak value
