Modes
The Modes section presents various options concerning how
notes and envelopes are triggered in response to incoming
MIDI notes.
Note Priority
Since the Voice Controller is essentially a monophonic synth, a
scheme is required to determine which note sounds when
multiple keys are held at the same time. The options are:
• Newest - the most recently pressed key sounds.
• Lowest - the lowest note sounds.
• Highest - the highest note sounds.
Retrigger Mode
This settings controls whether the envelopes retrigger when playing legato. The options
are:
• Retrig On - the envelopes retrigger whenever a new note is triggered.
• Retrig Off - the envelopes only retrigger when all keys are released and a new note is
played.
Note that these settings only affect the Voice Controller’s internal envelopes. When using
external envelope generators, you have the following options:
• If you just use the Gate output, you will end up with the same result as described for
‘Retrig Off’ above.
• If your envelope generator has a retrigger input as well as a gate input (for example,
the Analogue Systems RS-60), you can connect the plug-in’s Trigger output to the
retrigger input to achieve the ‘Retrig On’ behaviour.
• Alternatively, you can use the output matrix to mix in a negative amount of the Trig-
ger signal into the Gate output. The has the effect of momentarily closing the gate as
seen by the synth, which should be enough to retrigger its envelopes.
Polyphonic Mode
The Voice Controller supports a polyphonic mode of opera-
tion i.e. one where multiple notes sound at once.
This is achieved using multiple instances of the plug-in - one
per voice, plus one additional instance to act as the ‘master’ or
controller.
The master plug-in should have its ‘Poly Mode’ menu set to
