INDEX
Decay - After the ->Attack of the ->Envelope the Decay time sets in, and the volume, ->Cutoff
frequency, or ->pitch of the sound decreases until it reaches the adjustable ->Sustain-level.
Delay - Effect to produce i.e. an echo.
Demo song - The demo songs demonstrate the different sounds of the Sirius. By pushing the "Tap
tempo" and the "Sync. Ext." buttons simultaneously you can start the 16 Demo songs.
Distortion - The Sirius can produce distorted sounds with help of the ->Filter overdrive, the ->Cutoff
frequency and the - >Q-Factor.
Drum loop - > Loop
Drum set - With the Sirius you can construct your own 20 different Drum sets, each containing 12
Drum, Percussion or effect sounds The drums can be found in the PERCUSSION-part ,when you.

Edit - The Sirius has different edit-levels where you can adjust all functions of the Sirius. Some of these
functions can not be reached on the front panel of the Sirius.
Effect processor - An effect processor is a device that changes the sound of the instrument. Typical
effects are - >Reverb, - > Delay and - >Chorus. The Sirius has two built in effect processors, that are
marked - >FX-1 and ->FX-2, which generate different effects.
Envelope - When you hold down a note on the Sirius Keyboard you automatically start the envelope
generator. During the ->Attack time the volume, ->Cutoff frequency, or ->pitch of the sound will increase
until it has reached its maximum level. After that the ->Decay time sets in, and the volume, ->Cutoff
frequency, or ->pitch of the sound decreases until it reaches the adjustable ->Sustainlevel (not available
in the pitch envelope). This level remains until you release the note and the fadeout of the sound is
determined by the ->Release time (not available in the pitch envelope). The parameters of the envelopes
can be simply controlled with the EG-MACRO-knobs of the Sirius.
Envelope modulation (Env.-Mod) - > Envelope
Equalizer - With an equalizer you can manipulate the frequencies of your mix.
