Modulators and arpeggiators

- [Instructor] So now that we've got a nice basis for our sound and a good character to it, it's time to add some modulation, get this thing moving a little bit. So first of all, let's talk about envelope two. That's our amplitude envelope. (keys play) So we can adjust the attack, the sustain, the release, all that stuff. We also have a velocity knob which will make it more sensitive to the velocity incoming from our midi keyboard or the piano role. As you turn it up, it enables you to play more quietly with softer key strikes. Now let's jump over to envelope one because envelope one doesn't have one use. First of all, it is the envelope that is connected to our filters. Now we can use it to modulate upward. So if I pull the cutoff down on my low pass filter and then I use envelope one to modulate it, it'll sound like this. (electronic sound) So that's essentially our resting space with the cutoff, you can hear why it's so low. (electronic sound) Okay, but we also have the ability to…
