Trigger
This defines the control source that starts the current layer’s ASRs. The ASR starts when the
trigger switches from off to on. If the Trigger parameter is set to
ON , a global ASR starts running
immediately when you select a program that contains it. A local ASR starts running as soon as
you trigger a note in the layer that contains it. Switch controls are better suited for ASR triggers
because of their binary (on/off) nature. A continuous control will trigger the ASRs when its
signal value is above its midpoint.
Mode
This parameter sets the sustain section of the ASR. The ASR’s mode determines what the ASR
does when it finishes its attack section. If the Mode parameter is set to
Normal , the ASR will run
directly from its attack section to its release section (no sustain). At a setting of Repeat , the ASR
will cycle through the attack and release sections, then loop forward and cycle through again
until the ASR’s trigger switches off. If the mode is set to
Hold , the ASR maintains its position at
the end of the attack section until the ASR’s trigger switches off. The ASR then goes into its
release section. If the ASR’s trigger switches off before the attack section is complete, the ASR
goes directly to its release section.
Delay
When the ASR’s trigger switches on, the ASR will start immediately if this parameter is set to
zero. Nonzero values will cause a corresponding delay between the ASR trigger and the start of
the ASR.
Attack
This defines how long the ASR takes to ramp up from minimum to maximum effect on
whatever it’s patched to.
Release
This defines how long the ASR takes to fade to minimum from its maximum. If the ASR’s trigger
switches off before the ASR has reached maximum, the ASR releases from that level.
