will sound immediately at it’s maximum value, higher values makes the sound come up in level in a cer-

tain time.

Synth channel C – amplifier decay control

Decay control sets the time a sound will go on while a key is pressed. Low values makes that a short time,

the highest value will make the sound go on until you release the key.

Synth channel C – amplifier release control

This control sets the time a sound will go on after you have released the key. A low value will drop the

soundlevel immediately while a high value will make the sound go on for some time after you released

the key.

With the Attack, Decay and Release controls you “shape”the volume of the sound in time. These controls

are very important. A pad or string sound needs slow attack and a longer release, while a piano or organ

sound needs a fast attack and a slower release for instance.

Here you see a typical ADSR curve. On the x-axe time is represented, on the y-axe it’s the amplitude of the

volume of the sound.

The standard envelope form is ADSR, which start with Attack time (A) from minimum level to maximum,

falls back to Sustain level (S) with Decay (D) time. After key release with Release time (R) the signal will go

back to 0 (if Sustain level was 0 nothing happens after Decay time has passed).

On the NeoSynth there is no sustain control and the sound falls in the release time back to zero after the

decay time has passed.
