Each row in the matrix corresponds to an output. Each has eight knobs which mix together
the eight possible output signals. The knobs go down to -1.0 so you can add in a negated
contribution from a signal.

By default outputs 1 to 6 correspond to Pitch, Gate, Env 1, Env 2, Env 3, and Trigger.

Initially the output ma-
trix is hidden - reveal it
by pressing the ‘Out-
puts’ button.

The eight output signals are as follows:

Offset

This is simply a constant offset. You might use it, for example, to set the centre frequency
of a filter around which the envelopes modulate.

Pitch

The Pitch output derives from the current MIDI note that is sounding (or the pitch over-
ride signal - see below).

Gate

The gate output takes one of two levels, depending on whether a MIDI note is currently
active or not. You would typically route this to the gate input of a hardware envelope gen-
erator.

Env 1/2/3

The envelope signals are generated by the internal multi-stage envelope generators. There
are three independent envelopes. See below for more details.

Trigger

The trigger signal is a very short pulse, emitted whenever a new note sounds. You might
typically route this to the retrigger input of a hardware envelope generator.

Velocity

The velocity output generates a voltage according to the velocity of the note being played.
NB you can also use the note velocity to scale the envelopes - see below.

The is one additional knob per row:

Smooth

The ‘Smooth’ control has the same effect as that in the DC plug-in (see

above

).
