Modulation Envelope
The Modulation Envelope offers an envelope that shapes the modulation you apply to your 
Sound. Its parameters are matched to those of the Amplitude Envelope on Page 2, so that 
you have either an ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope or an AHD (Attack, Hold, 
Decay) envelope to control your modulations. If you choose ONESHOT Mode, only the AHD 
envelope (pictured) will be available for modulation.
attaCk
The time it takes for the envelope to reach its maximum 
level.
hold How long the envelope will stay at its maximum level.
dECay
With Decay you adjust how fast the envelope drops to the 
Sustain level in ADSR mode; in AHD-mode it is used to 
adjust how fast the envelope fades out.
SUStaIn
The envelope level that will be maintained as long as the 
note is played.
rElEaSE
The time for the sustain level to return to zero after the 
note has ended.
Destination
This is where you dene modulation targets for the Modulation Envelope. Available targets are:
 • pItCh, located on Sampler Parameter Page 2
 • CUtoFF, located on Sampler Parameter Page 3
 • drIvE, located on Sampler Parameter Page 3
 • pan, located on Output Parameter Page 1
