Sound Parameters – Envelopes
125 Waldorf Q User’s Manual
One Shot
The One Shot envelope type is thought for percussive sounds that don’t need a stage that is held as
long as a note is played. In other words: the envelope goes through all its stages, no matter how long
a key is pressed. This includes even the Attack phase. It uses the parameter set of the ADSR envelope
type where the Sustain parameter is used to set a level breakpoint. This allows creating One Shot
envelopes with a very percussive attack or with a “Gate” effect.
