D(ECAY):
This fader determines the duration of the envelope’s decay
stage. The higher the setting, the longer it takes for the envelope to travel
from its maximum level to the level determined by the sustain fader. The
decay stage can be as short as 1 millisecond or as long as 10 seconds.
S(USTAIN):
This fader determines what level the envelope will be held
at when you hold a note past the decay stage. This is the only envelope
parameter that is not tied to a duration but to a level. The duration of the
sustain stage always depends on how long you hold a note.
R(ELEASE):
This fader determines the duration of the envelope’s release
stage. The higher the setting, the slower the release time and the longer
it takes for the envelope to fade out after you release a key. The release
stage can be as short as 1 millisecond or as long as 10 seconds.
The bottom toggle switch allows you to choose between three types of
envelope behaviours:
• Lower position:
With this setting, envelope 1 is in default mode.
• Middle position:
With this setting, the shape of envelope 1 is inverted.
An envelope that is ramping up during its attack stage will now ramp
down. The effect on the modulation destination is the opposite of
envelope 1 modulating in default mode.
• Upper position:
With this setting, envelope 1 operates in loop mode.
Instead of being triggered just once, the attack, decay hold and decay
stages are repeated indefinitely until you release a key. As soon as
you release a key, the release stage is triggered. The rate at which the
looped envelope is repeated is indicated by the LED graphically linked
to the
LOOP
label.
In loop mode, the sustain setting determines from what level the
envelope rises at the beginning of the attack stage and to what level
it falls at the end of the decay stage.
