MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 69
AHD: AHD mode disables the Sustain and Release controls, and replaces them with the Hold
parameter. AHD mode is ideal for “re and forget” behavior, whereby you would like to have
the sound trigger for a certain amount of time regardless of how long you hold the Pad down.
ADSR: Typically, the ADSR envelope is used for longer, sustained Samples that require complex
dynamic control. Tip: unlike many other hardware devices, the Pads on MASCHINE are sensi-
tive not only to being hit, but also to being held—so using the ADSR envelope, you can make
the Pads behave like a MIDI keyboard and sustain a note only for as long as it is held down.
Amplitude Envelope Controls
attaCk
Attack determines how quickly the Sound reaches full vol-
ume after being triggered.
hold
Hold determines how long the envelope will stay at its max-
imum level.
dECay
Decay determines how fast the envelope drops to the
Sustain level in ADSR mode; in AHD-mode it is used to
adjust how fast the Sound dies down. This parameter can
be modulated by Velocity.
SUStaIn
Sustain determines the constant level being kept after
Decay until the note ends. This can also be controlled by
an external MIDI controller or keyboard using MIDI CC 64.
rElEaSE
Release determines how long the sound takes to fade out
after the note has ended.
