ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 128
If you move one of the Master Envelope knobs A, D, and R with the mouse, the darker “ghost”-
envelope shows how the duration of the curve progression towards the selected Breakpoint,
is stretched or jolted depending on the direction of rotation. Every Breakpoint can be con-
nected to exactly one of the Master Envelope knobs A, D und R. You can also connect several
Breakpoints with the same Master Envelope knob A to create complex control curves for the
attack-phase. This is also applies to the other Master Envelope knobs D, S and R and the
associated phases of the Envelope.
You can also connect the Master Envelope Knob S, which regulates the amplitude during
the Sustain-phase, with several Breakpoints at the same time. This way you can inuence
the amplitude during the stand still period. The Envelope Display shows you the changes in
real-time here as well.
You can perform your own assignments for every Envelope and then navigate several Envelope-
progressions with the four Master Envelope Knobs simultaneouslyTo develop a classical
ADSR-Envelope, create an Envelope with ve Breakpoints in Sustain Mode. Assign the rst
Breakpoint the Master Envelope Knob A, the second the Master Envelope Knob D, the third
and fourth the Master Envelopes Knobs S, and the fth Master Envelope Knobs R. In addition,
the four Master Envelope Tabs allow you to inuence the reaction of the corresponding Master
Envelope Knob with the Value Fields Time control and Amp control. The value in Time control
lets you to determine the transitional period between the phases of the Envelope; the default
value for the Master Envelope Knobs A, D und R is 100, for the Master Envelope knobs A 0.
Through the value in Amp control you establish the strength with which the Master Envelope
knob inuences the amplitude. Here, the default value for A, D and R is 0; for S, it is 100.
The expected ADSR-performance is achieved with these default values. Depending on the
musical situation, other values might make sense, for instance, if a short attack-phase should
simultaneously lead to lower amplitude. In this case, the value of Amp control would have to
be increased on the basis of the default settings. At a value of 100, the knob A would not
only control the duration of the attack-phase, but also the amplitude.
