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 first 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 first 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 first 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.
