161Arp Controller 1–3
The 3 controllers available on this submenu correspond to the three controller
lanes on the Arp page.
Bus 1–8
Modulations that are sent to one of the eight busses can be reused as sources.
This way, you can combine several modulations to produce more complex
signals.
Quick Control 1–8
The quick controls can be used as modulation signal.
Unipolar vs. Bipolar Sources
The polarity of a modulation source specifies the value range that it produces. Unipolar...

162WT 1/2 Level
Modulates the Level parameter of the corresponding wavetable oscillator.
WT 1/2 Pan
Modulates the Pan parameter of the corresponding wavetable oscillator.
WT 1/2 Multi Detune
Modulates the multi-oscillator Detune parameter of the corresponding wavetable
oscillator.
WT 1/2 Multi Pan
Modulates the multi-oscillator Pan parameter of the corresponding wavetable
oscillator.
WT 1/2 Multi Spread
Modulates the multi-oscillator Spread parameter of the corresponding...

163Amp Env Attack
Modulates the attack time of the amplitude envelope. This modulation
destination cannot be modulated continuously. The time is updated only when the
segment starts.
Amp Env Decay
Modulates the decay time of the amplitude envelope. This modulation destination
cannot be modulated continuously. The time is updated only when the segment
starts.
Amp Env Sustain
Modulates the sustain level of the amplitude envelope. This modulation
destination cannot be modulated...

164Env 3 Attack Level
Modulates the attack level of the user-definable envelope 3, that is, the level of
the second envelope node. This modulation destination cannot be modulated
continuously. The level is updated only when the segment starts.
Env 3 Decay
Modulates the decay time of the user-definable envelope 3. This modulation
destination cannot be modulated continuously. The time is updated only when the
segment starts.
Env 3 Sustain
Modulates the sustain level of the...

165Retrigger
This option is only available in Mono mode. If Retrigger is activated, a note that
was stolen by another note is retriggered if you still hold the stolen note when
you release the new one.
This way, you can play trills by holding one note and quickly and repeatedly
pressing and releasing another note, for example.
Trigger Mode
Defines the trigger behavior for new notes.
•Normal triggers a new note when the previous note gets stolen. The
sample and the envelope of...

166negative values to lower the pitch the higher you play. At a setting of +100 %, the
pitch follows the played note exactly.
Distribution
Allows you to specify how unison voices are spread in pitch. Changing the unison
voice distribution will create different modulations between the unison voices.
•If this is set to 0, the distribution is linear, that is, all voices have an equal
distance in their pitch offset.
•Raising the value stretches the distribution using an...

167•BR12 and BR24 are band-reject filters with 12 and 24 dB/oct. Frequencies
around the cutoff are attenuated.
•BR12+LP6 and BR12+LP12 are combinations of a band-reject filter with 12
 dB/oct and a low-pass filter with 6 and 12 dB/oct, respectively. Frequencies
around and above the cutoff are attenuated.
•BP12+BR12 is a band-pass filter with 12 dB/oct plus a band-reject filter
with 12 dB/oct. Frequencies below, above, and around the cutoff are
attenuated.
•HP6+BR12 and...

168Filter Envelope
On the left on the Env F/A tab, you can set up the filter envelope.
Attack
Controls the attack time of the filter envelope.
Decay
Controls the decay time of the filter envelope.
Sustain
Controls the sustain level of the filter envelope.
Release
Controls the release time of the filter envelope.
Amplifier and Amplifier Envelope
On the right of the Env F/A tab, you can make settings for the amplifier and the amplifier
envelope.

169Decay
Controls the decay time of the amplifier envelope.
Sustain
Controls the sustain level of the amplifier envelope.
Release
Controls the release time of the amplifier envelope.
Env3 Section
The Env3 section provides an additional envelope that can be routed freely in the modulation
matrix. This envelope is bipolar, therefore, it is particularly suited to modulate destinations
like pan or pitch, for example.
The faders below the envelope display set the following...

170•Triangle is similar to Sine. Shape continuously changes the triangle
waveform to a trapezoid.
•Saw produces a ramp cycle. Shape continuously changes the waveform
from ramp down to triangle to ramp up.
•Pulse produces stepped modulation, where the modulation switches
abruptly between two values. Shape continuously changes the ratio
between the high and low state of the waveform. If Shape is set to 50 %, a
square wave is produced.
•Ramp is similar to the Saw waveform. Shape...
