9 6 DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL

THE AMPLITUDE ENVELOPE FUNCTION

The Amplitude Envelope is really the last word of a DM Pro Sound. This Function

controls the volume of a Sound over time.

While the Pitch and Filter Envelopes require programming in order to affect their

parent Functions (Pitch and Filter), no such requirement exists for the Amplitude

Envelope. You will notice that there is no Parameter called

A-ENV>AMP in the

Amplitude Function. This is because the Amplitude Envelope is “hardwired” at the

end of the signal chain. Unless stages are modulated otherwise in the Modulation

Matrix, all Amplitude Envelope Parameters will have direct control over the volume

of the Sound. For example, by moving the Amplitude Envelope Delay Parameter,

you will delay the start of the actual Sound itself. However, keep in mind that the

Pitch and Filter Envelopes act independently of the Amplitude Envelope and must

have their own Delay Values set accordingly if you want all three Envelopes to be

synchronized.

Note that the Amplitude Envelope Level Parameter, because it controls amplitude,

literally acts as a volume control over the Sound. The difference between this

Parameter and the Sound Level Parameter (Page 1 of the Drum Edit Mode Level

Function) is that the Amplitude Envelope Level Parameter can be modulated, or

changed over time.
