Meet the Gigmate v2’s envelope
The Gigmate v2 has a single, very straight forward ‘envelope’.
The envelope is triggered when a key is depressed; from this point the output of the envelope
will develop over time in a predictable profile, defined by the user, using controls in the
envelope section. The configuration of these controls varies from one instrument to another, but a
popular standard which emerged early on is to have four controls - Attack, Decay, Sustain & Release.
The following graph shows how these four controls operate on the envelope’s output:
