4.12 MSEGs
Dune 2 introduces four graphical envelopes called
MSEG
(Multiple Segment Envelope Generator).
Graphical envelopes allow precise and customizable
adjustment of sound parameters over time, and thus
serve as an important modulation source. MSEGs can
be looped, which allows to create rhythmic gate ef-
fects (for instance the classic "trance" gate sound), or
they can act as low-frequency oscillators with custom
shapes.

Create new points either with the left mouse but-
ton (double-click), or with the middle mouse but-
ton (single-click).
