Also note that one type of envelope point (ENV/KBD/VEL) cannot be

transferred to a different type of envelope. For example, you cannot copy a

KBD Scaling envelope to an ENV envelope.

The Octopus has 2 independent memory buffers, one for the ENV envelope

and another for the KBD/VEL envelopes. This means that if you copy new

ENV points to buffer, any KBD/VEL points that have already been copied

won't be changed or erased. But note again, you may not copy KBD and

paste it to VEL, as well as copy VEL and paste to KBD.

The Clone menu item copies an envelope, including the ENV, KBD, VEL

envelopes as well as the corresponding matrix values, and creates a new

identical envelope in the slot after the existing envelope. Envelopes in slots

after the source envelope are shifted one position in the envelope slot array

to make way for the new envelope.

The Load menu item allows envelopes to be loaded into an envelope slot.

The Save menu item allows envelopes to be saved which means you can

create sets of envelopes (for example, a set of different LFO-style

envelopes). The Octopus comes with a set of Envelopes that you can use

for modulation within your own presets.

Matrix Nodes

The amount of signal sent to a particular destination is determined by the

setting of the Matrix node. When the signal level is set to 0.0 the node is

deactivated and no signal is sent to the destination. The destination value is

set by clicking on the node and dragging the mouse vertically. The range of

values available depends upon the envelope type (which is set in the

Envelope Editor module). It is important to note that the value set in the

node is a scaling value that is multiplied by the envelope to produce the

destination modulation value.
