5. ENVELOPES
Envelopes control the level of pitch, tone, amplitude, and modulation from the moment you
hit a key, as you hold a key, until you release a key, and afterwards. They shape the sound
over time. A parameter can attack suddenly and decay immediately, like a plucked and
damped string ("pizzicato"), or fade up slowly and take a very long time to fade away after
you release the key—essentially, anything you want to hear. The Arturia CZ V's graphic
display of each envelope makes them easy to see, understand, and edit. You can make
almost any time contour imaginable.
The CZ V has eight separate envelope generators. We've already covered the basics of six of
those in the Synthesis section [p.33] , where each Line has access to its own three envelopes:
Pitch, DCW, and Amp. The ENVELOPES tab accesses these same six envelopes in greater
detail, plus two MOD envelope generators. The entire center section of the display shows
a single envelope, so there is more detail as you edit, and there are several controls not
available in the SYNTHESIS window.
5.1. Navigating the ENVELOPES window
To select the envelope you'd like to see or edit:
Click on the envelope name in the left-hand
column of the window. The envelope and its points will be highlighted in light blue, and the
area under the curve will be shaded.
To identify envelopes in the background of the current envelope: Move your cursor over the
left-hand column of envelope names, but do not click. As the cursor highlights the envelope
name, its shape will appear in light gray in the envelope window.

!: Only envelopes that are the same type or mode of the current envelope will be visible in the
background. This isn't an issue if you select the same envelope mode for all eight envelopes in a preset.
Line 1 Amp is the current envelope in blue; the cursor is
over the Line 2 Amp name, showing its curve in light grey
in the background
