•
ADSR envelope generator with Attack, Sustain, Decay and Release parameters:
Ø Attack
determines the time it takes for the note to get to the maximum
level.
Ø Decay
determines the time it takes for the note to go from the maximum
level to the sustain level (controlled by Sustain).
Ø Sustain
determines the level of the sound is played at while the note is held
(after the other envelope states, Attack and Decay, have been
completed).
Ø Release
determines the time it takes for the note to fall from the
sustain level to zero (silence) level when it is released.
• Pitch Bend: The Pitch Bend knob directly changes the pitch of the selected
instrument.
Ø Pitch
Bend center position: is normal pitch.
Ø Pitch
Bend down: Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur
when the pitch bend/modulation lever is moved to the left.
Ø Pitch
Bend up: Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur
when the pitch bend/modulation lever is moved the right.
• Reverb built-in: provides a spaciousness and depth to simulate the sound
reflections from walls, floors and ceilings following a sound created in an
acoustically reflective environment. Small rooms can be modeled as well as
large spaces.
• Filter Type. Combo box to switch between the following options:
Ø Low
Pass (LPF): a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower
than a certain cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with
frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency.
Ø High
Pass (HPF): a filter that passes signals with a frequency higher
than a certain cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with
frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency.
Ø None:
No filter is applied.
Ø Cutoff
Frequency Filter: Sets the cutoff frequency for the low pass and
high pass filters.
• Volume: Adjusts the volume of the instrument.
• Panning potentiometer control: Set the panning of the instrument. Adjusts
the stereo pan position of the signal output, which determines how much of
signal is sent to the left and right channels.
• MIDI CC Automation: Implementation of MIDI Continuous Controller
parameters for use with external hardware control via DAW, such as:
expression (CC#11), volume (CC#7), pan (CC#10), balance (CC#8), filter
cutoff (CC#74), ADSR (Attack: CC#73, Decay: CC#75, Sustain: CC#76, Release:
CC#72) and reverb depth (CC#91).
