[. . . ] This sets velocity control for the Filter Envelope Decay parameter. A positive value will increase the Decay time the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship. This sets velocity control for the Osc Mix parameter. A positive value will increase the Osc 2 Mix amount the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship. This sets velocity control for the Amp Envelope Attack parameter. A positive value will increase the Attack time the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship. FM Velocity Control M. Env Phase Freq 2 Velocity is used to control various parameters according to how hard or soft you play notes on your keyboard. A common application of velocity is to make sounds brighter and louder if you strike the key harder. Subtractor features very comprehensive velocity modulation capabilities. By using the knobs in this section, you can control how much the various parameters will be affected by velocity. The velocity sensitivity amount can be set to either positive or negative values, with the center position representing no velocity control. F. Attack 114 SUBTRACTOR SYNTHESIZER Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels Modulation Wheel The Modulation wheel can be set to simultaneously control a number of parameters. You can set positive or negative values, just like in the Velocity Control section. The following parameters can be affected by the modulation wheel: | Parameter | Description F. Freq This sets modulation wheel control of the Filter 1 Frequency parameter. A positive value will increase the frequency if the wheel is pushed forward. Negative values invert this relationship. This sets modulation wheel control of the Filter 1 Resonance parameter. A positive value will increase the resonance if the wheel is pushed forward. [. . . ] ASIO does not guarantee low latency, but it allows for it if the audio card designers take advantage of its possibilities. · · · Using a card via an ASIO driver can give latency figures as low as 3ms. When you use ASIO, only one program at a time can access the card. Note that to use ASIO you need to add an ASIO driver file to the ASIO Drivers folder in your Reason folder. [. . . ]
