Selected parameters are adjusted using the rotary knob, the DATA ENTRY fader, or the dedicated A, D, S, R fader. The rotary knob has a click which allows very accurate control. The faders allow rapid adjustment across the full range. The following options are available in the VCA ENVELOPE menu: • VCA-ENV-TRIG - This option allows you to select the triggering mode for the VCA ENVELOPE from the following: • Key - This option will force the envelope to be triggered each time a key is pressed. • LFO-1 - This option will force the envelope to be triggered each time LFO 1 starts a new cycle. • LFO-2 - This option will force the envelope to be triggered each time LFO 2 starts a new cycle. • Loop - This option will force the envelope to be re-triggered each time the end of the release stage is reached. • Seq - This option will force the envelope to be re-triggered on every step of the CONTROL SEQUENCER. • ADSR ATK: This controls the attack time of the VCA envelope. This is the time it takes for the sound to transition from zero to its maximum level. As the value increases, the slower the attack time becomes, and the longer it takes for the sound to reach its maximum level. • ADSR DCY: This controls the decay time of the VCA envelope. After a sound reaches the maximum level, the decay time controls how quickly the level will transition to the sustain level. As the value increases, the longer the decay time becomes. • ADSR SUS: This controls the level for the sustain stage of the VCA envelope. The sound will stay at this level while a note is held on the keyboard. • ADSR REL: This option controls the release time of the VCA envelope. This controls how quickly it takes the sound to decay from the sustain level to zero when a key is released.

ENVELOPES
The DeepMind 6 has three envelope generators. Each of these generates a control
signal with 4 stages (Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release).
The VCA envelope is used to adjust the level of the note being played
over time.
The VCF envelope is used to adjust the cut-off frequency of the filter for each
note played over time.
The MOD envelope can be used to modulate any of the MOD MATRIX
destinations for each note being played over time.
The envelopes are normally triggered by the playing of a key, but they also have
different triggering modes (LFO, Looping, and Sequencer).
It is important to note that the ATTACK, DECAY and RELEASE stages are measured
in units of time, and the SUSTAIN stage is measured in units of level.
The stages of the ENVELOPE are shown below:
Note:
In any of the looping modes, the sustain stage is not considered; as soon as
the envelope reaches the sustain stage it immediately starts the release stage.

ENVELOPE STAGES
8.8.1
VCA ENVELOPE SWITCH
1.
To access the VCA ENVELOPE page, press the VCA Envelope switch.
2.
The VCA ENVELOPE switch will turn on, and the VCA ENVELOPE menu will
appear as shown:
3.
To navigate the options in the VCA ENVELOPE menu, use the BANK/UP or
BANK/DOWN switches and the
-/NO or +/YES switches.
4.
Selected parameters are adjusted using the rotary knob, the DATA ENTRY
fader, or the dedicated A, D, S, R fader. The rotary knob has a click which
allows very accurate control. The faders allow rapid adjustment across the
full range.
The following options are available in the VCA ENVELOPE menu:
VCA-ENV-TRIG
- This option allows you to select the triggering mode for the
VCA ENVELOPE from the following:
Key
- This option will force the envelope to be triggered each time a key
is pressed.
LFO-1
- This option will force the envelope to be triggered each time
LFO 1 starts a new cycle.
LFO-2
- This option will force the envelope to be triggered each time
LFO 2 starts a new cycle.
Loop
- This option will force the envelope to be re-triggered each time
the end of the release stage is reached.
Seq
- This option will force the envelope to be re-triggered on every
step of the CONTROL SEQUENCER.
ADSR ATK:
This controls the attack time of the VCA envelope. This is the time
it takes for the sound to transition from zero to its maximum level. As the
value increases, the slower the attack time becomes, and the longer it takes
for the sound to reach its maximum level.
ADSR DCY:
This controls the decay time of the VCA envelope. After a sound
reaches the maximum level, the decay time controls how quickly the level
will transition to the sustain level. As the value increases, the longer the
decay time becomes.
ADSR SUS:
This controls the level for the sustain stage of the VCA envelope.
The sound will stay at this level while a note is held on the keyboard.
ADSR REL:
This option controls the release time of the VCA envelope. This
controls how quickly it takes the sound to decay from the sustain level to
zero when a key is released.
