Resonance slider: Emphasizes the frequency range around the point determined by the
Cutoff parameter.
Attack slider: Makes the sound start more slowly or quickly. A fast setting makes it sound
like striking a piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin
string.
Decay slider: Makes the harmonic portion of the sound (bright) sustain for a longer
time at slow values. Faster values move to the Sustain level more quickly.
Sustain slider: Determines the level of the sound after the Attack and/or the Decay
phase has completed.
Release slider: Determines the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the
keys on your keyboard.
