Envelope retrigger question

  • Hey,


    I've had my Virus for about a year, but have mostly been a preset user, but I'm learning more about sound design and one of the ways I'm doing this is by just tweaking presets. There's a particular soft lead patch I'm using, and I'd like to change it so the attack envelope retriggers every time I press a key (I'm pretty sure it's the amplitude, and not one of the filters, but not positive). Either way, what setting do I want to look for to change it? The reason I want to change is because if I'm playing a series of notes, after a few, they get less present, due to the envelope not retriggering with every note. Is it one particular setting or a combination of settings that do that?


    Thanks.

  • Most probably you only need to change the Mono Mode from 3 or 4 to 1 or 2.


    Check the manual under Oscillators > Common > Key Mode. There's a table explaining the differences of the four mono modes.

    Bass Player and Synthesist.
    Virus TI2 Darkstar | Virus TI2 Desktop | Sub 37 | Voyager RME | Machinedrum | Analog Four | Digitone | MPC Live | NI Maschine+
    Mac OS 13.5.1 (Ventura) | Cubase Pro 11.0 | Ableton Live 9.6 | Logic 10.4 | MainStage 3.4 | NI Komplete Ultimate 13 | RME Fireface UFX+

  • Good advice from Oli !
    If you already are in a multi-trigger mode you can try shortening your amp env ADSR times (may have to do the same for the filter env) and/or playing a little more staccato and less legato.
    Hope that helps. :)
