EDIT PAGE – Envelope Curves

 

 

All of Omnisphere’s eight dedicated Envelopes are capable of generating contours with hundreds of points. Right/Control-clicking anywhere in the Envelope display are will bring up a list that allows points to be added or removed, followed by a list of preset curves.

Clicking and dragging directly on the curve can change the orientation and position of the curves.  A cross hair will appear that will move the curve in any direction within the limits of the curve.

Some presets automatically have maximum level settings, such as Spike, Pulse and Bump.  To reduce the levels, click and drag and the cross hair will appear that will allow the amplitude of the curve to be changed.

 

Remove

  

Deletes the currently selected point
     

Add

Puts a new point at the place in the Envelope display.
     

Curve1

A gradual slope between the points
     

Curve2

A steeper, more exponential slope between the points.
     

Pulse

Places a three-angle pulse shape between two points.
     

Spike

A sharp point with a gradual slope on one side.
     

Step

Adds a right angle between the points.
     

Linear

Places a straight line between the points.
     

Bump

A rounded bump that rises and falls between the points.
     

Four Pulses

Introduces four pulses between the points
     

Three Pulses

Introduces three pulses between the points

 

NOTE: Envelopes can never have fewer than four points, as they correspond to the ADSR of the simple envelope.  Attempting to remove these ADSR points will be ignored.

 

TIP: Double-clicking on any point in the Envelope will remove it.

 

NOTE: Whether an Envelope is considered SIMPLE or COMPLEX depends on the number of points (or stages) it has.  Since there are many preset curves available, it’s possible to have a SIMPLE envelope, but with a complex shape, as it only has four points;
