ELEMENT ENVELOPE

TYPE

Selects a user or preset amplitude envelope for the selected element.

ENVELOPE COPY

Copies envelope parameters from one element to the current element.

DELAY (Delay Rate & ON/OFF)

Sets a delay before envelopes of all elements begin.

INITIAL LEVEL

Sets the starting level of the amplitude envelope for the current element.

ATTACK (Level & Rate)

Sets the rate and peak level of the amplitude envelope's attack.

DECAY 1 (Level & Rate)

Sets the rate and final level of the first decay stage of the amplitude envelope.

DECAY 2 (Level & Rate)

Sets the rate and final level of the second decay stage of the amplitude envelope.

RELEASE RATE

Sets the release rate of the amplitude envelope for the current element.

LEVEL SCALING
