This is a Hold Envelope. It has a Hold
time control and an AM input. The Hold
Envelope has an extremely short attack
and decay times which makes it suitable for controlling the initial pitch of percussive and transient
sounds. Note: If you use the Hold Envelope for controlling the amplitude of an audio signal, there may
be a clicking sound in the beginning and end due to the extremely short attack and decay times. If you
want to be able to control Attack and Release times, check out the "AHD-Env”. See also "Common
Envelope Generator parameters”.

This is a Decay Envelope. It has a Decay
time control and an AM modulation in-
put. The Decay Envelope has an extreme-
ly short attack time which makes it suitable for controlling the amplitude of percussive and transient
sounds. Other applications could be to control Pitch, Filter and FM modulation. If you want to be able
to control Attack time, check out the "ADR-Env”. See also "Common Envelope Generator parameters”.

This is an envelope with two or three stag-
es, Attack and Decay or Attack, Sustain
and Release. In AR mode, the Sustain lev-
el is fixed at maximum level.

This yellow logic output sends out a
high logic signal as soon as the envelope
has completed its stages. This signal can
be useful for gating or triggering other
modules. Another interesting applica-
tion is that you could connect this out-
put directly to the Gate/Trig input and
thus create a repeating envelope signal - like a sort of “LFO” (see figure). Note that you have to select
‘Trig’ mode for this to work. See also "Common Envelope Generator parameters”.
