6.2.1.2. Decay
Default value is 0 (no changes in the sample envelope). Range goes from -1.00 to 1.00.
Negative values subtract from the original segment values (makes them shorter), while
positive values add to the original segment values (makes them longer).
6.2.1.3. Sustain
Default value is 0 (no changes in the sample envelope). Range goes from -1.00 to 1.00.
Negative values subtract from the original segment values (makes them shorter), while
positive values add to the original segment values (makes them longer).
6.2.1.4. Release
Default value is 0 (no changes in the sample envelope). Range goes from -1.00 to 1.00.
Negative values subtract from the original segment values (makes them shorter), while
positive values add to the original segment values (makes them longer).
6.2.2. Flutter
Flutter is a fluctuation effect in the pitch induced by slight variations in the magnetic tape
speed while paying back the sound. At extreme settings, the effect will resemble that of a
random LFO applied to the pitch.
6.2.3. Tape Saturation
Saturation induced by magnetic tape is a well known and highly appreciated characteristic.
It even led to the appearing of plug-ins dedicated to recreate this saturation digitally.
The Mellotron, being based on magnetic tape playback, obviously featured that
characteristic too, and no emulation would be complete without the recreation of that
effect. The control works from 0.00 (no saturation) to 1.00 (full saturation). By default, this
parameter is at 0.00 (no saturation).
6.2.4. Mechanics
Since the Mellotron was based on tape playback triggered mechanically, we could
sometimes hear clicks and other noises coming from those mechanisms (like key noises,
for example). To add an extra degree of realism, we have this parameter, which will recreate
those noises.
By default, the parameter is positioned at 0.00 (no noises), but can be raised all the way
up to 1.00.
