Section 6 — Standard Sound Parameters
ENSONIQ KT Musician’s Manual 13
Env 1, Env 2 And Env 3 Pages
The Env 1, Env 2, and Env 3 pages, parameters, and ranges identical except where indicated
below. Envelope 1 parameters are found on KT page locations 20-23, Envelope 2 are found on
pages 50-53, and Envelope 3 are found on pages 60-63. We will use Envelope 1 as our example.

Levels Ranges: 00 to 99
This parameter sets the levels for the three stages of the envelope. These values correspond to the
following levels:
PEAK
Determines the level the envelope will reach at the end of the time defined by ATTACK (see
below).
BREAKPOINT
Determines the level the envelope will reach at the end of DECAY 1.
SUSTAIN
Determines the level the envelope will reach at the end of DECAY 2 and will retain as long as the
key is held down.
Time Range: 00 to 99
This is used to set values for the four time segments. Note that the numbers shown here
represent times, not rates. That is, the envelope will take a fixed amount of time to go from one
level to another, no matter how far apart those two levels are. See the following Envelope Times
chart for a listing of the time values.
ATTACK
The amount of time it takes for the envelope level to travel from when the key is struck to the
PEAK level. The higher the value, the longer the time.
Note: This doesn’t necessarily have to be an “attack” in the usual sense. If the
ATTACK time is set to 00, the PEAK level becomes the “initial” level of the envelope.
If the PEAK level is set higher than the BREAK level, this would function as another
decay stage.
DECAY 1
The time it takes the envelope to go from PEAK to BREAKPOINT.
DECAY 2
The time it takes the envelope to go from BREAKPOINT to SUSTAIN.
