pitch and volume envelope modules, basic filters, a sample engine selection, a one-knob
compressor, and send controls for delay and reverb effects can be found here.

10.1. Volume Envelope
Apply a volume envelope to the currently active cell from here. When hovering over this module,
you can see the envelope shape against the waveform in the Waveform Control (refer to
The
Volume Envelope
module contains the following parameters and controls:
The Volume Envelope module.
•
Power
: Activates/deactivates the envelope.
•
Envelope mode
: The two envelope symbols on the right side of the section header let you
choose between two basic types of volume envelope: AHDSR (Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain,
Release), which is represented by the left envelope symbol, and AHD (Attack, Hold, Decay),
which is represented by the right envelope symbol. Typically, the AHDSR envelope is for
sustained samples, while the AHD envelope is more for “one-shot” sample playback. AHD
mode disables the Sustain and Release controls below.
•
Attack
: Adjusts the time it takes for the envelope to reach its maximum level.
•
Hold
: Adjusts how long the envelope will remain at its maximum level. Set this to 10-30ms to
add punch to the signal.
•
Decay
: Adjusts the time it takes for the envelope to fall from the hold level to the sustain level.
•
Sustain
: Adjusts the level that will be maintained in the sustain phase as long as the incoming
MIDI note is held. Sustain control is not available in AHD mode (see envelope mode selectors
description above).
