Time [0ms…60sec]
This parameter lets you set the Hold Time in seconds
and milliseconds. It applies only when the Mode is set
to Time.
(Base Note) [ … ]
This menu sets a basic rhythmic value for the Hold
Time, relative to the system tempo. The values range
from a 32nd note to a whole note, including triplets.
This parameter applies only when the Mode is set to
Tempo.
x (Multiply Base Note by…) [01…32]
This multiplies the length of the Base Note. For
instance, if the Base Note is set to a sixteenth note, and
the multiplier is set to 3, the Hold Time will last for a
dotted eighth note.
Transition
This sets the length of time that the EG takes to move
from Point 0 to Point 1.
When the Loop Type is set to 0<->3, this also sets the
time that it takes to move from Point 1 to Point 0
during the backwards section of the loop.
Time [0ms…60sec]
This parameter lets you set the Transition time in
seconds and milliseconds. It applies only when the
Mode is set to Time.
(Base Note) [ … ]
This menu sets a basic rhythmic value for the
Transition time, relative to the system tempo. It applies
only when the Mode is set to Tempo.
x (Multiply Base Note by…) [01…32]
This multiplies the length of the Base Note. For
instance, if the Base Note is set to a sixteenth note, and
the multiplier is set to 3, the EG will move from Point 0
to Point 1 over a dotted eighth note.
Points 1 and 2
Points 1 and 2 work exactly like Point 0, as described
above.
Point 3
Point 3 also works much like Points 0–2, with two
main differences:
Point 3 always uses its own Loop time when moving
into the loop, regardless of the direction of the loop.
If Loop Repeat is set to Off, or if the Loop is set to 1–
126 and has already played the specified number of
times, then the EG will stay at Point 3 until the EG
either goes into release, or is reset by KARMA.
Hold Time
This works just like the Hold Time for Point 0, as
described under “Hold Time,” above.
Loop
This sets the length of time that it takes to move from
Point 3 to the first Point in the loop. You can set this in
either seconds/milliseconds or rhythmic values,
depending on whether the Mode is set to Time or
Tempo.
The Time, Base Note, and Multiplier parameters work
just like those for Point 0, as described under
“Transition,” above.
Point 4
Point 4 is the Vector EG’s release destination. Its time
setting is different from those of the other Points.
Instead of setting the time it takes to move from Point 4
to the next Point, it sets how long it takes to go from
the previous Point to Point 4.
The EG moves to Point 4 as soon as it releases,
regardless of where it was before the release. For
instance, let’s say that the EG is in the middle of Point
2’s Hold Time at note-off. The EG will immediately
begin to move to Point 4, without waiting for the Hold
Time to complete.
Release
This sets the length of time that it takes to move to
Point 4 after note-off. You can set this in either
seconds/milliseconds or rhythmic values, depending
on whether the Mode is set to Time or Tempo.
The Time, Base Note, and Multiplier parameters work
just like those for Point 0, as described under
“Transition,” above.
KARMA and Vector EG interaction
KARMA can start and re-start the Vector EG in various
ways, as described below.
CC Control EG
When KARMA is On, it always starts and re-starts the
CC Control EG, according to the KARMA trigger
settings. This lets KARMA control sounds or effects in
synchronization with the KARMA GE.
Volume Control EGs
When Key Sync is Off, and KARMA is On, KARMA
will start and re-start the Volume Control EGs as well
as the CC Control EG. This means that the resulting
changes in oscillator volumes will be synchronized
with the KARMA GE.
When Key Sync is On, KARMA does not affect Vector
Volume Control. Each note will have its own,
independent Volume Control EG, just as if KARMA
was turned off.
Entering the EG’s release stage
Assuming that KARMA is On:
When the KARMA LATCH switch is Off, the
KARMA-controlled Vector EG(s) will start to release
when you remove your hand from the keyboard (and
when KARMA is no longer receiving any input notes
from other sources).
When the KARMA LATCH switch is On, the
KARMA-controlled Vector EG(s) will start to release
only when KARMA Latch is turned Off again.
