Envelopes
ATTACK
Determines the amount of time it takes for the
amplifier envelope to rise to its maximum level.
The higher the ATTACK value, the longer it
takes for the envelope to rise to maximum vol-
ume after the start of a note.
DECAY
Determines the amount of time it takes for the
amplifier envelope to fade out. The higher the
DECAY value, the longer it takes for the enve-
lope to fall from its peak level to the SUSTAIN
value.
SUSTAIN
Sets a variable level value for the amplifier en-
velope at which it remains after the end of the
DECAY phase (see appropriate section). The
duration of the SUSTAIN phase depends on the
TIME value (see appropriate section).
RELEASE
Determines the speed or rate at which the vol-
ume of the amplifier envelope decreases after
the end of a note. The higher the RELEASE val-
ue, the longer it takes for the envelope to fall
from its current level to the minimum level,
when the key is released.
TIME
Sets the bipolar time parameter for the amplifier
envelope. It determines the envelope’s re-
sponse once it reaches the SUSTAIN level (see
appropriate section): If the knob is set to the
center position (12 o’clock) indicated by the
mathematical infinity symbol, then the SUSTAIN
level remains constant through to the end of the
note; if you turn it counter-clockwise to the left
(towards FALL), then the level drops off at an in-
creasing rate towards the minimum level; If you
turn the knob clockwise to the right (towards
RISE), the level rises at an increasing rate to
maximum.
 
The Sustain Time parameter can be access-
ed from the main Edit menu as well as from the
filter EDIT menu..
