Meet the Bit-100 v2’s envelopes

As has been described already, the Bit-100 v2 has two ADSR type envelopes, one exclusively

for use with the filter and the other, for the exclusive use of the amp.

Envelopes are triggered when a key is depressed; from this point the output of the envelope (used for

modulation) 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 envelopes output:
