Amplier Envelope
DECAY: (0-127) Sets the decay time of the envelope. After a sound reaches
the lter frequency set at its attack stage, decay controls how quickly the
lter then transitions to the cutoff frequency set with the sustain knob.
The higher the setting, the longer the decay. Percussive sounds, such
as synth bass, typically have shorter decays (and some low-pass lter
resonance).
SUSTAIN: (0-127) Sets the lter cutoff frequency for the sustained portion
of the sound. The sound will stay at this lter frequency for as long as a
note is held on the keyboard.
RELEASE: (0-127) Sets the release time of the envelope. This controls how
quickly the lter closes after a note is released.
ENV AMOUNT: (0-127) (In the menus) Sets the amount of modulation from
the Envelope to the VCA. In most cases you will probably want to set
this fully clockwise for maximum VCA volume. If you experience signal
clipping, try reducing the env amount.
DELAY: (0-127) Sets a variable amount of delay before the envelope is trig-
gered. This is particularly useful when creating multi-part sound if you
want the onset of one the parts to be delayed in relation to the others.
SHAPE MODE (on Misc page of envelope): (Exponential, PPG) Sets the response
of the envelope. You can choose between standard, exponential response,
or “PPG” response. The PPG’s envelope’s were rather unique in their
behavior. The best way to get a feel for their behavior is to try them with
a variety of Attack, Decay, and Release settings.
