Amplifier
The amplifier sections follows right of the filter section. Again this reflects the signal flow, after
the filter the amplitude of the sound is shaped.
It features a “vol” volume control to adjust the overall output volume. The “vel” velocity control
allows adjustment of the influence that the notes velocity has on volume. When turned fully to
the left the Velocity has no influence on the volume while turned fully right means that the
volume is completely controlled by velocity.
The “att” (Attack Time) dial is used to set the time it takes for the amplitude envelope to reach
the full envelope depth. For example, if the Attack is set to 0% (i.e. the dial is turned
completely counter-clockwise), the signal's amplitude will move from zero to full volume
immediately. If the Attack dial is turned completely clockwise the signal's amplitude will move
from zero to full volume in the maximum time of 10 seconds.
The “dec” (Decay Time) dial setting determines the time that the amplitude envelope takes to
move from the Attack peak level to the Sustain level. For example, if the Decay is set to 0%
(i.e. the dial is turned completely counter-clockwise), the signal's amplitude will move from
the Attack peak level to the Sustain level immediately. If the Decay dial is is turned
completely clockwise, the signal's amplitude will move from the Attack peak level to the
Sustain level in 10 seconds.
The “sust” (Sustain Level) dial setting determines the amplitude level after the initial
Attack/Decay phase while a note is being held.
The “rel” (Release Time) dial is used to set the time that the amplitude envelope takes to
move from current Sustain/Fade level to silence after the note is released. If the Release is
set to 0% (i.e. the dial is turned completely counter-clockwise), the signal's amplitude will
move to zero immediately. If the Release dial is is turned completely clockwise, the signal's
amplitude will move to zero in 10 seconds.
The “fade” (Fade Time) dial is used to set the rate at which the signal amplitude moves from
the Sustain level to either silence (when the dial is turned counter-clockwise) or full output
(when the dial is turned clockwise). A middle setting (dial is set to 12 o'clock position) means
