Here you can configure the AMP EG, which applies time-variant change to the volume.
Create the desired volume curve by adjusting the ADSR parameters: Attack [1], Decay [2], Sustain [3] and Release [4].
Sets the time from note-on (when the key is pressed) until the attack level (maximum value of the envelope) is reached.
2. Decay [0...127] (CC#75)
Sets the time from when the attack level is reached until the sustain level (SUSTAIN) is reached.
3. Sustain [0...127] (CC#70)
Sets the volume that’s maintained after the decay time has elapsed, as long as you continue holding the key.
Sets the time it takes from note-off (when the key is released) until the level reaches 0.
5. Velocity Sens (Velocity) [0...127] (CC#79)
Controls the amplitude of the EG according to the velocity at which you play the keys.
Increasing this value makes the amplitude more responsive to the velocity (how hard or soft you play). With a setting of 0, velocity does not affect the amplitude.
For the most part, each sound changes over time in a distinct way, such as volume. For example, when you play a note on a piano, the note begins at the maximum volume, and gradually diminishes. When you release your finger from the key, the sound disappears quickly with a brief decay. Volume curves such as this are an important aspect of how we identify the sound of a specific instrument. This type of change also occurs in the tone and pitch, as well as in the volume. On a synthesizer, this type of change is produced by an EG. The microKORG2 has dedicated EGs for the filter and for the amp. These EGs can also be used as virtual patch sources, so you are free to use them to vary the pitch or numerous other aspects of the sound.
Some example settings are shown below.
Here you can make settings for the filter EG, which applies time-variant change to the tone.
Configure these filter EG settings to make the tonal character of the sound change over time.
The EG Intensity parameter controls how much the filter EG is applied.
Create the desired sound curve by adjusting the ADSR parameters: Attack [1], Decay [2], Sustain [3] and Release [4].
For details on how the EG (envelope generator) works, refer to the previously listed information.
1. Attack [0...127] (CC#85)
Sets the time from note-on (when the key is pressed) until the attack level (maximum value of the envelope) is reached.
2. Decay [0...127] (CC#86)
Sets the time from when the attack level is reached until the sustain level (SUSTAIN) is reached.
3. Sustain [0...127] (CC#87)
Sets the cutoff frequency that’s maintained after the decay time has elapsed until you release the key.
4. Release [0...127] (CC#88)
Sets the time it takes from note-off (when the key is released) until the level reaches 0.
5. Intensity [-63...0...63] (CC#84)
Sets the depth of the modulation that’s applied to the cutoff frequency.
This changes the cutoff frequency over time. Positive (+) settings increase the degree of change. Negative (-) settings increase the degree of change in the opposite direction.
