Record an envelope
1 Choose a Record Trigger Mode, such as Note + Ctrl.
2 Click the Record button (the “R”) to start recording.
3 Play, and hold, a key—and start moving the controllers assigned to envelope controls 1 or 2 or
both, such as the modulation wheel.
Stop an envelope recording
Do one of the following:
mm
Click the Record button ( the “R”) to disengage it.
mm
Release all voices.
mm
Play a new note after releasing all keys.
Note: When a controller movement has been recorded, R(ecord) is automatically set to off and
Mode is set to Env. This ensures that only the recorded movement is active, regardless of the stop
position of the recorded controller.
Play a recorded envelope
mm
Play a key to begin polyphonic playback of the recorded envelope.
Note: The Mode parameter must be set to Env and the R(ecord) parameter must be set to off.
You can also turn on both the Env and Ctrl buttons of the Mode parameter, which enables you
to use controllers assigned to Ctrl Env1 or Ctrl Env2 to manipulate the envelope in real time,
alongside playback of the recorded envelope.
Note: When both Env and Ctrl are turned on, the controller value is added to the envelope
output, resulting in a modulation offset.
Prepare a recorded envelope for editing
mm
The envelope segments and handles are set automatically after recording. Drag the vertical lines
that intersect the handles to enable editing.
Note: This will not change the shape of the envelope.
