12. Synthesis basics: Envelopes NORD MODULAR G2 V1.1
Page 214
As described above, the envelope stays at the Sustain level until the key is released. It then falls back to
zero level. The time it should take for this to happen is set with the Release parameter, which works just
as the Decay, only it is not applied until you lift your finger off the keys.
• If you set Sustain to full level, the Decay setting is of no importance since the volume of the sound is
never lowered:
• If you set Sustain to 0, the sound will become silent after the Decay phase is finished. With short
Attacks moderate Decay times, this can be used to simulate the behaviour of a plucked string instru-
ment (guitar, piano etc.) where the sound always decays to silence after a while:
