CLAVIA DMI AB CLAVIA NORD Rack 2X [48/114] Attack decay sustain and release

Page 46 Panel Reference

Let’s take another example of the relation between Frequency and Envelope Amount: If the Filter Fre-

quency knob is already turned fully right, the Envelope Amount setting has no effect at all, since the filter

is already fully open the moment you press the key.

Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release

These are the parameters for the Filter Envelope. They are identical in functionality to the settings in the

Amplifier Envelope, described on page 40.

Velocity

When this switch is activated, the Envelope Amount varies with Velocity (how hard you play the key-

board). For this switch to have any effect, the Envelope Amount setting can’t be set to zero (full left).

Please note that more detailed velocity control can be achieved with the velocity programming function.

Kbd Track

▼ With this switch turned off, the Filter Frequency setting is constant regardless of where on the keyboard

you play.

▼ When this switch is activated, the filter frequency setting will be higher for higher notes as indicated in

the illustration below.

The reason for using this switch is related to basic acoustics. If you raise the pitch of a waveform, the

harmonics naturally raise in frequency. If the filter frequency is then constant, the sound will be per-

ceived as getting muddier the higher up the keyboard you play. To avoid this effect, use KBD Track.
