How to use this skill

When you need to set one or more DeepMind 12 parameters:

Identify which synth area the parameter belongs to (oscillators, filter, envelopes, etc.) from the table below.
Read that section file for parameter details, value guidance, and interactions.
Set the parameter(s) with set_param or set_params:
- Enum params: use label (e.g., { param: "env.amp.triggerMode", label: "Loop" }) — case-insensitive.
- Continuous params: use value (normalized 0..1) or rawValue (integer).
- Run describe_param to see valid labels for any enum param.

If you're designing a specific type of sound, check the "Sound recipes" section at the bottom for which sections to read together.

Section file	Covers

Technique	Key params	Why it matters	Read
Envelope loop mode	`env.*.triggerMode` = 3	ADR cycles as complex LFO; asymmetric curves → shapes no LFO can make	envelopes
Sustain slope	`env.*.sustainCurve` ≠ 128	Sustain is NOT flat — <128 falls, >128 rises while key held	envelopes
Keyboard → envelope curves	Note Number → SusCurve/EnvDepth via mod matrix	Envelope shape changes across keyboard, not just pitch/filter	mod-matrix
Envelope → OSC 2 level	VCA Env → OSC2 Lvl via mod matrix	Oscillator crossfade tied to note lifecycle	mod-matrix
Fixed-offset portamento	`portamento.mode` 6–13	Every note slides from fixed interval — pitch transients, not glides	voice-config
Tone mod + envelope	Env → TMod Depth via mod matrix	FM-like attack transients without FM; tone mod is DeepMind-unique	oscillators
Pressure → LFO rate	Pressure → LFO Rate via mod matrix	Aftertouch changes modulation speed, not just depth	mod-matrix
Mod wheel → FX params	Mod Wheel → dest 115/119 via mod matrix	Real-time performance control over effect character	mod-matrix
LFO delay staging	`lfo*.delayTime`	First 40% silent, then fade-in; stagger LFO 1 vs 2 for layered onset	lfos
Self-oscillating filter tracking	`filter.keyTracking` = 255 + high resonance	Filter becomes pitch-accurate 3rd oscillator across keyboard	filter
