Envelope display
Shows the envelope curve. You can adjust it by adding, moving, and deleting nodes.
The nodes for attack (A), sustain (S), and release (R) are always shown and cannot be
deleted. Next to the release node, the release time of the envelope is shown.
Mode
Determines how the envelope is played back when it is triggered.
Select Sustain to play the envelope from the rst node to the sustain node.
The sustain level is held for as long as you play the note. When you release the
note, the envelope continues with the stages following the sustain. This mode
is suited for looped samples.
Select Loop to play back the envelope from the rst node to the loop nodes.
Then, the loop is repeated for as long as the key is held. When you release the
note, the envelope continues playing the stages that follow the sustain. This
mode is suited for adding motion to the sustain of the envelope.
Select One Shot to play the envelope from the rst to the last node, even if
you release the key. The envelope has no sustain stage. This mode is suited for
drum samples.
Select Sample Loop to preserve the natural attack of the sample. The decay of
the envelope does not start until the sample has reached the sample loop
start.
If you set the second node to the maximum level and use the following nodes
to shape the decay during the loop phase of the sample, the envelope only
affects the loop phase. The attack of the envelope is still executed.
Velocity
Determines how the velocity affects the level of the envelope.
The level of the envelope depends on the velocity setting and on how hard you hit a
key. Higher values increase the level of the envelope the harder you hit a key.

Selecting Nodes
You can select single nodes or multiple nodes. Selected nodes are edited together.
To select a node, click on it in the graphical editor.
The Time eld at the top of the graphical envelope editor shows the parameters of the
selected node.
To add a node to a selection, Shift-click the node.
To select multiple nodes, draw a rectangle around them with the mouse.
If multiple nodes are selected, the Time eld shows the parameters of the node that is
indicated by a white border.
To select all envelope nodes, press Ctrl/Cmd-A.
If the envelope editor has the keyboard focus, you can select the next or the previous node
using Left Arrow and Right Arrow.
