Envelope Points, Times, and Loops
The vector envelope consists of up to 16 points on the time axis. Each point can control
the position of both the Triangle and Square’s cursors.
The points are numbered sequentially. Point 1 is the starting point. In order to edit a
point, simply select it—by clicking on it.
Note: A number of vector envelope editing commands can be quickly accessed in a
shortcut menu. Control-click anywhere on the vector envelope to open it.
Sustain Point
Any point can be declared the sustain point. Given that the note played is sustained
long enough and there’s no loop engaged, any envelope movement will stop when
this sustain point is reached. It will be sustained until the key is released (until the MIDI
note-off command).
To define a point as the sustain point, click on the turquoise strip above the desired
point. The selected point will be indicated by an S between the point and its number,
on the turquoise strip.
