Module: ANALOG PROCESSING 12 Function: VCA ENVELOPE

Hint: Filter and VCA settings interact. For example, if the VCA is set for an extremely short decay
and sustain level is near 0, then you won’t hear the effects of setting a long filter decay.
2. Select the desired parameter for adjustment with the cursor buttons, then use the data slider to
change the parameter value. Fig. ANALOG-1 shows the effect and timing of the various envelope
parameters; refer to these as you read the following descriptions of the five parameters.
