10. AUDIO TRACK PARAMETERS
10.6.3 BASE
Sets the base frequency of the filter. This parameter is only available if you have selected a track with a
Digital voice type (Track 1–8).
10.6.4 WIDTH
Sets the frequency width above the base frequency. This parameter is only available if you have selected
a track with a Digital voice type (Track 1–8).
The base-width filter is basically a Highpass filter and a Lowpass filter connected in series. The filters BASE
and WIDTH parameters define the base-width filters frequency range.
Examples of how the BASE and WIDTH parameters affect the filter frequency range:

•	 The base-width filter is only available for tracks with Digital voices types (Track 1–8).
•	 With BASE set to 0, the filter functions as a low pass filter with WIDTH adjusting the fre­
quency range.
•	 With WIDTH set to 127, the filter functions as a high pass filter with BASE adjusting the
frequency range.
•	 With BASE set to 0 and WIDTH set to 127 the filter does not affect the sound.
10.7 AMP PAGE 1
The AMP page controls parameters for the amplitude envelope, effects sends, panning and volume.
Press [AMP] to access this parameter page.
10.7.1 ATK
Attack Time sets the length of the attack phase of the amp envelope.
10.7.2 HOLD
Hold Time sets the length of the hold phase of the amp envelope. Fixed Hold time values (0–126) specify
the length of the hold phase, and the envelope ignores Note Off events such as Trig Length, releasing
a [TRIG] key or a key on an external controller. Setting HOLD to NOTE means the hold phase will be
determined by Note On and Note Off events. For more information, please see “10.2 TRIG PARAMETERS
PAGE 1” on page 50.
If you set HOLD to NOTE and use an external keyboard to trigger the envelope, then the
sound will be sustained for as long as you press a key on the keyboard.
10.7.3 DEC
Decay Time sets the length of the decay phase of the amp envelope. The decay time can be set to
infinite.

10.7.4 SUS
Sustain Level sets the sustain level of the amp envelope. This parameter is only available if MODE on
AMP Page 2 is set to ADSR.
10.7.5 REL
Release Time sets the length of the release phase of the amp envelope. This parameter is only available
if MODE on AMP Page 2 is set to ADSR.
10.7.6 DEL
Delay Send sets the amount of the sound that is sent through to the Delay effect. For more information,
please see “13.2 DELAY” on page 68.
10.7.7 REV
Reverb Send sets the amount of the sound that is sent through to the Reverb effect. For more informa­
tion, please see “13.3 REVERB” on page 69.
10.7.8 PAN
Pan positions the sound in the stereo field. The knob function is bipolar with 0 being the balanced mid­
point, L64 sends all sound to the left channel and R63 sends all sound to the right.
10.7.9 VOL
Volume sets the volume amount of the amplifier. Unlike the track LEVEL, this parameter can be parame­
ter locked.

10.8 AMP PAGE 2
The AMP page controls parameters for the amplitude envelope reset, envelope mode, and track routing.
Press [AMP] twice to access this parameter page.
10.8.1 AENR
Amp envelope reset sets the amp envelope behavior:
ON resets the envelopes for each consecutive trig (default).
OFF does not reset the envelopes for each consecutive trig.
10.8.2 MODE
Envelope mode sets the amplitude envelope to function as either an AHD or an ADSR envelope.
10.8.3 ROUT
Track routing sets if the track’s audio should be routed to the Analog FX block or the Main mix. For more
information, please see “5.4.1 ANALOG FX BLOCK ROUTING” on page 18.
A machine in Syntakt is a full-blown synth engine designed for a specific purpose. A drum-
oriented machine has direct access to a decay parameter for shaping the amplitude, as
this is so central to the character of a drum. Each track also has an additional amp enve­
lope. Selecting a drum-oriented machine will default the amp envelope to an AHD envelope
with infinite decay.
A typical synth machine requires a more complex envelope shape and is more prepared to
be used with a keyboard to control note length etc. Therefore, when selecting one of the
SY machines, the amp envelope will default to an ADSR envelope with a typical setting for
release time.
All Digital machines and most Analog are designed to work well with both an AHD en­
velope and an ADSR envelope. With AHD selected they will perform like a drum with a
defined time before the decay. With ADSR selected they will perform more like a synth
voice with keyboard control over note length and sustain before the release. The voice
then plays until the note is released.
10.9 LFO PAGE 1
The Low-Frequency Oscillator can be used to modulate the parameters found on the audio tracks SYN,
FILTER and AMP pages. Customize the low-frequency oscillator behavior, orientation, and depth on this
page. This page controls the behavior of LFO 1.
