Amplier Envelope Parameters (Front Panel)
Attack: 0...127—Sets the attack time of the envelope. The higher the
setting, the slower the attack time and the longer it takes for a sound to
reach its full volume. Pads typically have softer (longer) attacks. Percus-
sive sounds have sharper (shorter) attacks.
Decay: 0...127—Sets the decay time of the envelope. After a sound
reaches its full volume at its attack stage, decay controls how quickly the
sound transitions to the level set with the sustain control. The higher the
setting, the longer the decay. Percussive sounds, such as synth bass, typi-
cally have shorter decays.
Sustain: 0...127—Sets the sustain level of the envelope. The higher the
setting, the louder the sustained portion of the sound will be. The sound
will stay at this level for as long as a note is held on the keyboard.
Release: 0...127—Sets the release time of the envelope. This controls
how quickly a sound dies out after a note is released.
Env Amount: 0...127—Sets the amount of modulation from the Enve-
lope to the VCA. In most cases you will probably want to set this fully
clockwise for maximum VCA volume. If you experience signal clipping,
try reducing the env amount.
