The higher the decay time, the longer it takes for the volume to reach its default level. You can compare this to the decay parameter of a side-chain compressor. The interesting thing about this mode is that the count determines the speed of the completion of the envelope. The only difference is that the volume automation will not be retriggered until another MIDI note is sent to the VST. This option is pretty much the same as the retrigger option described above. So, if you’ve selected 1/8th, the volume automation will start when the MIDI note hits and will continue every 1/8th until another MIDI note is triggered. Each time a MIDI note is triggered, the envelope is retriggered and will continue playing according to the time signature setting.
This way, the plugin can react to the MIDI notes you are sending in manually.
In this case, you’ll have to select channel 3 as the MIDI input channel in Kickstart. Let’s say you are sending MIDI on channel 3. The envelope is simply retriggered on each count (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1).įor this option, you need to open the settings tab of the plugin and create a new MIDI channel in the DAW. Synced is the default setting which is explained above. One is controlled by the note length value, and the other two are triggered via MIDI. Kickstart supports three different retrigger options. Opening the settings tab (by pressing the gear icon) shows the different retriggering options, which make things a lot more interesting.
Setting the note length to 1/8 means that the envelope is restarted every 1/8th count, whereas 1/4 means it’s applied every 1/4th count and so on. You can choose between 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1/1, and thus determine how the volume automation relates to the host application’s tempo setting. Other than that, you can set the different timing options on top of the user interface. Conveniently, it is possible to make these adjustments by using the left and right arrows on the UI. The customization can be done by choosing the preferred envelope shape and by shifting the envelope left or right. The waveform display is super convenient, as you can make sure to tweak the volume automation curve according to the audio signal that is being processed. Underneath the curve display, you can monitor the waveform of the audio signal going through the plugin in real-time.
