Included Instruments Trium 121Trigger 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 the new note are triggered from the start. To minimize discontinuities, use the Fade Out parameter of the zone. •Resume does not always trigger a new note. If the new note stays within the same zone, the envelope is retriggered, but resumes at the level of the stolen note. The pitch of the zone is set to the new note. If the new note plays in a different zone, the sample and the envelope of the new note are triggered from the start. •Legato does not always trigger a new note. If the new note stays within the same zone, the envelope keeps running. The pitch of the zone is set to the new note. If the new note plays in a different zone, the sample and the envelope of the new note are triggered from the start. •Resume Keeps Zone does not trigger a new note upon note stealing. The envelope resumes at the level of the stolen note and the pitch of the zone is set to the new note, even if the new note plays in a different zone. •Legato Keeps Zone does not trigger a new note upon note stealing. The envelope keeps running and the pitch of the zone is set to the new note, even if the new note plays in a different zone. Mod Page The Mod page contains the LFO settings in the upper section and the mod wheel, or vibrato, settings in the lower section. LFO Settings Sync If Sync is activated, the frequency is set in fractions of beats. Freq Controls the frequency of the modulation, that is, the speed of the LFO. Pitch Controls the modulation depth of the pitch modulation.
Included Instruments Trium 122Cutoff Controls the modulation depth of the filter cutoff modulation. Osc1/2/3 Wave These parameters control the modulation depth of the waveform modulation of the three main oscillators. NOTE These controls are only available if the selected oscillator type supports waveform modulation. Mod Wheel Settings Vib Freq Controls the frequency of the second LFO that is used for pitch modulation (vibrato). Vib Depth Controls the depth of the pitch modulation (vibrato).

Filter Section Filter Shape •LP24, 18, 12, and 6 are low-pass filters with 24, 18, 12, and 6 dB/oct. Frequencies above the cutoff are attenuated. •BP12 and BP24 are band-pass filters with 12 and 24 dB/oct. Frequencies below and above the cutoff are attenuated. •HP6+LP18 and HP6+LP12 are combinations of a high-pass filter with 6 dB/ oct and a low-pass filter with 18 and 12 dB/oct, respectively (asymmetric band-pass filter). Frequencies below and above the cutoff are attenuated. Attenuation is more pronounced for the frequencies above the cutoff. •HP12+LP6 and HP18+LP6 are combinations of a high-pass filter with 12 and 18 dB/oct and a low-pass filter with 6 dB/oct (asymmetric band-pass filter). Frequencies below and above the cutoff are attenuated. Attenuation is more pronounced for the frequencies below the cutoff.
Included Instruments Trium 123•HP24, 18, 12, and 6 are high-pass filters with 24, 18, 12, and 6 dB/oct. Frequencies below the cutoff are attenuated. •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 HP12+BR12 are combinations of a high-pass filter with 6 and 12 dB/oct and a band-reject filter with 12 dB/oct. Frequencies below and around the cutoff are attenuated. •AP is an all-pass filter with 18 dB/oct. Frequencies around the cutoff are attenuated. •AP+LP6 is an all-pass filter with 18 dB/oct plus a low-pass filter with 6 dB/ oct. Frequencies around and above the cutoff are attenuated. •HP6+AP is a high-pass filter with 6 dB/oct plus an all-pass filter with 18 dB/oct. Frequencies around and below the cutoff are attenuated. Cutoff Controls the cutoff frequency of the filter. Resonance Sets the filter resonance. Distortion Adds distortion to the signal. The following distortion types are available: •Tube adds warm, tube-like distortion. •Hard Clip adds bright, transistor-like distortion. •Bit Reduction adds digital distortion by means of quantization noise. •Rate Reduction adds digital distortion by means of aliasing. •Rate Reduction Key Follow adds digital distortion by means of aliasing, but with Key Follow. The rate reduction follows the keyboard, so the higher you play, the higher the sample rate. Envelope Amount Controls the cutoff modulation from the filter envelope. Cutoff Velocity Controls the cutoff modulation from velocity. Cutoff Key Follow Adjusts the cutoff modulation using the note number. Increase this parameter to raise the cutoff with higher notes. At 100 %, the cutoff follows the played pitch exactly.

Included Instruments Voltage 125Arp Page This page contains the same parameters as the FlexPhraser. RELATED LINKS FlexPhraser on page 76 Voltage Voltage is a two-oscillator and noise synthesizer that can be used for synth basses, but it also allows you to create any kind of classic monophonic and polyphonic synth sound. With the integrated arpeggiator and step sequencer, you can create anything from sequencer lines to stepped chords. The two oscillators and the noise generator are followed by a 24 dB low-pass filter. The filter can be modulated using modulation sources like the keyboard, velocity, and LFO, but also by the controller lanes of the step sequencer, for example. Voltage includes 2 LFOs for pitch, PWM, and filter modulations. The first LFO can be synchronized to the tempo of the host application and allows for filter and pitch modulation. The second LFO is controlled by the modulation wheel and is used to create a vibrato.
Included Instruments Voltage 126Oscillator Section Oscillator 1/2 Waveform Sets the waveform for the oscillator. You can choose between saw, triangle, and square. Oscillator 1/2 Level Controls the level of the oscillators. PWM PWM (pulse width modulation) is only available for the square waveform. Activate this option if you want to be able to let the LFO modulate the width of the wave. Osc 2 Coarse Detunes the second oscillator by +/-12 semitones. Osc 2 Fine Detunes the second oscillator by +/- 100 cents. Noise Type The sound color of the noise. You can choose between standard and band-pass filtered (BPF) versions of white and pink noise. Level Controls the level of the noise generator. Filter Section Cutoff Controls the cutoff frequency of the filter. Resonance Emphasizes the frequencies around the cutoff. At higher settings, the filter self- oscillates, which results in a ringing tone.
Included Instruments Voltage 127Distortion Adds tube-like distortion to the signal. Envelope Amount Controls the cutoff modulation from the filter envelope. Cutoff Velocity Controls the cutoff modulation from velocity. Cutoff Key Follow Adjusts the cutoff modulation using the note number. Increase this parameter to raise the cutoff with higher notes. At 100 %, the cutoff follows the played pitch exactly. Amplifier Section Level Controls the overall volume of the sound. Velocity Controls the level modulation from velocity. At 0, all notes are played with the same level. Voice Section Octave Adjusts the pitch in octave steps. Pitchbend Up/Pitchbend Down Determines the range for the modulation that is applied when you move the pitchbend wheel.
Included Instruments Voltage 128Glide Allows you to bend the pitch between notes that follow each other. You achieve the best results in Mono mode. Fingered Activate this parameter to glide the pitch only between notes that are played legato. Mono Activates monophonic playback. Retrigger 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.
