6.2.2 The envelope generator.
The envelope generator, connected to the amplifier, is used to «sculpt» the volume of the
sound when we press a key on the keyboard and ends after the note is released.
sound when we press a key on the keyboard and ends after the note is released.
The most common modules developed use 4 settings that we can vary:
The Attack is the sound that the sound will take to reach its maximum volume once
we have pressed a key on the keyboard.
The Decay (fall) is the time that the sound will take to diminish when a note is
pressed.

The Sustain (hold) is the maximum volume level that the sound will reach when a key

On the VCF of the CS-80V, the envelopes include 2 additional settings:
The «initial level» (IL) is the initial level of the filter opening that we obtain when a
key is pressed.
The «Attack Level» is the attack level of the filter opening that we obtain when a
key is pressed.

6.2.3 The low frequency oscillator.
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator – or Sub oscillator on the CS-80V) possesses more or
less the same characteristics of the classic oscillator but it only produces frequencies
lower than 20 Hz. In other words, you won’t hear the pitch of its sound.

It will create a cyclic modulation on the setting to which it is connected.
