The Envelope Section with Filter 1+2 and Amp envelopes
Quantum’s envelopes allow you to manipulate sound pa-
rameters via rate or timed modulations. Quantum offers
six independent programmable envelopes for every sound
program:
•
Two Filter Envelopes. These envelopes are designed
to control the Dual Analog Filter 1 and 2 but can also
be used for other modulations.
•
An Amplifier Envelope. This envelope is designed to
control the sound volume, but can also be used for
other modulations.
•
Three additional Free Envelopes. These envelopes
can be used freely to perform additional modulations
on any module.
r
Only the Filter 1 + 2 and Amplifier envelopes can be
edited via the front panel parameter controls. All
envelopes are completely accessible via the Envelo-
pes display page.
Most traditional synthesizers feature ADSR envelopes.
These envelopes are made up of four parameters that
determine their response:
Attack
,
Decay
,
Sustain,
and
Release
.
The envelope is started by pressing a key. It ascends to its
maximum value at the rate determined by the
Attack
parameter. It then descends at the rate determined by the
Decay
value until it reaches the predetermined
Sustain
value. It remains at this value until the key is released. The
envelope then descends to zero at the rate determined by
the
Release
parameter.
