Modulating the cutoff with the ADSR

One of the really cool aspects about this ADSR envelope is that it can be used to…modulate the filter cutoff as well.…So at all times this ADSR envelope is going to be shaping the volume of the…amplifier, and so shaping the volume of your signal.…If you want to use it to also modulate the cutoff, we that in this area here.…I've got this ADSR Intensity control.…What that's going to do is that tells us how much do we want this envelope here…to modulate filter cutoff?…So when it's in the center position, there is no modulation happening.…

If I turn this to the right, it gets me a positive amount of modulation.…So it's going to act and respond like we'd expect a filter envelope to.…If I go to the other direction, I go to the left here,…I'm giving it a negative amount of modulation, and so this envelope is going to…work the opposite that we'd expect, and we'll explore that later.…So the first thing we're going to want to do is set our frequency cutoff to an…amount that is a good starting place.…So let's play a note, and I'll adjust the cutoff.
