Sonic Charge Synplant - Manual (Page 16)

Voice Anatomy
Figure 8 shows the various components that comprise
Synplant's
Envelope. Please
note that there is only one envelope per voice which controls both volume and
"modulation" effects. However, the exact curves or "shapes" of the envelope seg-
ments are set independently for the attack and decay phases of the volume and
modulation targets respectively.
Figure 9 displays a few examples of envelope segment shapes. (The percentages are
mainly there for illustration purposes. They do not correspond exactly to the gene settings.)
Figure 10 (next page) reveals the low-level wiring of a voice inside
Synplant
. Blue
lines and boxes represent the flow of the "control signals". Gray lines and boxes rep-
resent the "audio signal" path. Triangles are "gain stages" or multiplications. The di-
agonally slashed circles symbolize cross-faders.
Finally, Figure 11 (next page) depicts a few different waveforms that may be produced
by Oscillator A and B.
