Precisionsound Tranzitone - Manual (Page 9)

The velocity range for the Bass Manual section is between 0 - 100%.
The Lower and Upper Manual sections have velocity ranges of -/+100%. At negative values, note
volume will decrease when you play with greater pressure. This means that if you set one section to
-100%, and the other to +100%, you will have a velocity-sensitive crossfade between the sections.
 If all sections are switched off, Tranzitone will make no sound when MIDI notes are played.
Filter 1
This is a Moog-style ladder filter that reduces high frequencies, and can add a resonant peak (the
emphasis) at the point where high frequencies are rolled off (the cutoff).
The red button switches the filter on/off.
The Cutoff and Emphasis dials control the frequency and intensity
of the filter.
The ADSR and Velocity dials control modulation of the filter, with
switches to set the targets of the modulators.
The four sliders control the attack, decay, sustain and release of
the filter’s envelope modulator.
Two modulators are available here—an envelope that can be shaped using the ADSR sliders, and
MIDI note velocity. You can change the extent to which these affect the filter by turning the dials
marked ADSR and Velocity.
Turning a dial to the left means that the respective modulator will decrease the value of the
modulation target. Turning a dial to the right will increase the value of the target. If a dial is at mid-
point, the modulator will not affect the sound.
Each modulator can be switched between two possible targets using the switch next to the
corresponding modulator dial. The possible targets are the filter cutoff (C) and the filter emphasis
(E).
 Filter 1 can also be modulated by the global LFO, described later in this manual.
