ATTACK / The
amount of time the
envelope
will take until it reaches
its
maximum
output
level. Setting the
ATTACK to
will
give a
sharp edge to
the sound
(turn
the
DELAY
back to
0);
a time of 63
will
take
16 seconds or so to get to
maximum.
DECAY &
SUSTAIN / As
soon
as the
attack
portion
of the envelope
finishes
(when
the
level
reaches maximum), the
envelope
will
decay,
that is decrease
How tar will
it
decrease
is
set
by the
SUSTAIN
control, how
Song
it takes to
get there is set by
the DECAY
control. If the
sustain level is
all the way
up. then
there is no decrease
and
the decay
control has no
effect.
Whatever level the
sustain is set to
is
the level that the envelope
will
stay
at
until
you
release
the key on the
keyboard.
RELEASE
.•
Eventually
you
will
let
go
of
the key that you
ve been
holding It
is
at
this point
that the
RELEASE
parameter of the
envelope
takes
effect
I
he RELEASE is
the
time that the
envelope
takes to
get from the sustain
level back
down to nothing. Setting the
release time
to
is
good
for
playing those short funky
riffs that you
used to
play on your
clavinet
Setting
the
release time
to
63
will
take
the envelope
approximately
90 seconds to
reach zero
level
AMP
/
This is
the
mitai output
level
of the Envelope
Generator

The
second envelope page
selects several
operational modes
for
the envelope.
The
top
dis

shows
cycling modes
and
the lower
display shows
triggering
modes. These modes
are
all turned

RESET
/
When
RESET is underlined,
the
envelope starts at the
beginning
of its cycle when-
ever
a
gate
is
received When oft, the
envelope starts
at
its
current level
FREERUN
/
I his causes the
envelope
to complete
its entire
cycle,
even
jf
the note has
been
released
in the middle. When off. the
envelope
immediately goes
to
the
release
portion
of its
cycle when
a
note
is released.
DADR
/
This stands for
Delay Attack
Decay
Release, which
means
that the
envelope will
not
sustain if DADR is
underlined
This has the same
effect
as
if
you
stopped
playing
the note as
soon
as
the initial decay had
finished.
This is useful for percussive
timbres.
