44 Amplifier Envelope
Dave Smith Instruments
To create a “gated VCA” effect, set the
env
amount
of the Amplifier to zero,
route the LFO square wave to
amp
with an
amount
setting of 100% and hold a note.
Velocity On/Off:
On, Off
—Allows key velocity to influence volume. If
on, the harder you play, the more the louder sound will be. If off, key
velocity will not affect the volume. This control allows for more touch-
sensitive sounds.
Additional Amplifier Parameters (Display Menus)
Additional Amplifier Envelope parameters are accessible through the
menus in the main display. To see these menus, adjust any of the controls
in
amp
portion of the
envelopes
section of the front panel.

Attack:
0...127
—Sets the attack time of the envelope. The higher the
setting, the slower the attack time and the longer it takes for a sound to
reach its full volume. Pads typically have softer (longer) attacks. Percus-
sive sounds have sharper (shorter) attacks.
Decay:
0...127
—Sets the decay time of the envelope. After a sound
reaches its full volume at its attack stage,
decay
controls how quickly the
sound transitions to the level set with the
sustain
control. The higher the
setting, the longer the decay. Percussive sounds, such as synth bass, typi-
cally have shorter decays.
Sustain:
0...127
—Sets the sustain level of the envelope. The higher the
setting, the louder the sustained portion of the sound will be. The sound
will stay at this level for as long as a note is held on the keyboard.
Release:
0...127
—Sets the release time of the envelope. This controls
how quickly a sound dies out after a note is released.
