AHD mode activated.
AHD: AHD mode disables the Sustain and Release controls, and replaces them with the Hold
parameter. AHD mode is ideal for “fire and forget” behavior, whereby you would like to have
the sound trigger for a certain amount of time regardless of how long you hold the pad down.
ADSR mode activated.
ADSR: Typically, the ADSR envelope is used for longer, sustained Samples that require com-
plex dynamic control.
Unlike many other hardware devices, the pads on MASCHINE are sensitive not only to being
hit, but also to being held so using the ADSR envelope, you can make the pads behave
like a MIDI keyboard and sustain a note only for as long as it is held down.
Amplitude Envelope Controls
Attack Attack determines how quickly the Sound reaches full volume after being
triggered.
Hold Hold determines how long the envelope will stay at its maximum level.
Decay Decay determines how fast the envelope drops to the Sustain level in
ADSR mode; in AHD-mode, it is used to adjust how fast the Sound dies
down. This parameter can be modulated by Velocity.
