23.1.6 Envelopes
Analog's Envelope
Parameters.
In addition to the pitch envelopes in the oscillator sections, Analog is equipped with inde-
pendent envelopes for each lter and amplier. All four of these envelopes have identical
controls, which are housed entirely within the display. Each envelope is a standard ADSR
(attack, decay, sustain, release) design and features velocity modulation and looping capa-
bilities.
The attack time is set with the Attack slider. This time can also be modulated by velocity
via the Att<Vel slider. As you increase the Att<Vel value, the attack time will become
increasingly shorter at higher velocities.
The time it takes for the envelope to reach the sustain level after the attack phase is set by
the Decay slider.
The Sustain slider sets the level at which the envelope will remain from the end of the decay
phase to the release of the key. When this knob is turned all the way to the left, there is no
sustain phase. With it turned all the way to the right, there is no decay phase.
The overall envelope level can be additionally modulated by velocity via the Env<Vel slider.
The S.Time slider can cause the Sustain level to decrease even if a key remains depressed.
Lower values cause the Sustain level to decrease more quickly.
Finally, the release time is set with the Release knob. This is the time it takes for the envelope
to reach zero after the key is released.
The Slope switches toggle the shape of the envelope segments between linear and expo-
nential. This change is also represented in the envelope visualization.
