Loops

LoopSeg1..3 Fw · Seg1..3 Bid · repeats

After the decay an envelope can go back and run again: forward from Att1, Att2 or Att3, or back and forth, a number of times or for as long as the key is held. It becomes a shaped, slow LFO that starts with each note.

WHAT TO KNOW

THE FIELDS

The loop type on the envelope page: Off, Seg1Fw, Seg2Fw and Seg3Fw (forward, from that attack segment), Seg1Bid, Seg2Bid and Seg3Bid (back and forth); and its repeats, 0 for as long as the key is held.

HOW IT RUNS

Forward: after Dec1 the loop's first segment starts again from the level reached. Back and forth: Dec1 runs backwards, then the attacks, then forwards again. Letting the key go ends the loop and starts the release.

USE IT FOR

Gates and pulses on the AMPENV, filter wobbles with a shape no LFO has on ENV2, a rhythm that starts with each note.

WATCH OUT

Short segments loop fast: two segments of 0.25 s make a 2 Hz pulse. After its repeats the envelope holds its sustain until the key is let go.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

71 AMPENVs, 45 ENV2s and 1 ENV3 loop in the factory; Seg1Fw is by far the most common.
