These
two envelope generators
control the
"contour"
(or
(Ganges over time, in terms of the sound's attack,
sustain,
decay,
and other dynamic characteristics)
of
each programmed sound.
The
VCF
EG determines
how the timbre, or brightness,
changes
over
time.
The VGA EG determines
how volume changes over
time.
The
DW-6000 utilizes
advanced 6-stage EG
modules with "break
point"
ami
"slope" rate
parameters in addition to the
conventional
attack,
decay, sustain and
release parameters. Six parame-
ters of ADBSSR envelope generators.

ATTACK (Rate)
Controls
how
long
it takes
for
the volume or cutoff
fre-
quency
to
rise
from
zero
to
its maximum level after
a
note
Is played on the keyboard.
DECAY
(Rate)
Determines
how long it takes for the volume or cutoff fre-
quency to fail from its maximum attack level
to the
break
point
level.
BREAK P. (Break Point
Level)
Determines
the
level
at
which volume
or cutoff
frequency
i^ops
dropping during the decay,
if this Is set to the
same
^
value
as
the sustain
level, then the
envelope becomes a
conventional ADSR type (as if It
had no
break point
or
slope parameters).
SLOPE (Rate)
Determines how long
it
takes for volume or cutoff frequen-
cy
to
change
from
the break point
level
to the sustain
level.
Note that if the break point is lower than the sustain
level, then the
slope
functions
as a
second
attack.
If
the
break point Is higher than sustain, then slope functions as
a second
decay.
