ENV1 - SHAPING AMPLITUDE

Pressing F5 - - will give this screen display:

Here we have the normal parameters across the top of the page where you may select

your keygroup, whether one or all keygroups are being edited and the program name.

Also, beneath that you can see a graphic representation of the envelope. The keyspan is

also shown and this may be changed here if you wish. The other parameters are:

This calls up a series of preset envelope templates that

have been set within the software of the S3000XL. You

can use these to get close to the type of envelope you are

after and then maybe fine tune them afterwards if needs

be. ENV1 is the ‘manual’ envelope - i.e. the one you can

program yourself. If you select a preset envelope and then

edit it, you will note that it immediately become ENV1, the

programmable envelope.

You will notice that any envelope you create is not lost

when you select a preset - ENV1 (your own envelope) is

always retained as you scroll through the list of available

envelopes although ENV1 will be lost if you edit a preset.

NOTE: Should you select a preset and then leave this page, when you return, you will

note that the template is renamed and becomes ENV1.

This sets the time the envelope will take to reach full level.

This sets the time it will take to reach the sustain level.

This sets the level at which the note will sustain while a key

is held.

This sets the time it takes for the sound to fade away after

the note has been released.

This forms the basis of an ADSR envelope generator for shaping amplitude. This

envelope generator is hardwired to amplitude control and so always sets the sound’s

overall envelope.
