7.2.12.4. Rel (Release)
The Release segment defines the time it takes for the instrument to reach silence after the
key is released. If we are working with percussive sounds, with a fast decay to zero, and no
sustain, this segment will have no impact.
But if we are dealing with long sustained sounds, defining a longer Release time may be
good to avoid "clicks" caused by sudden cutoff of the sound after releasing the key.
Release time may be as short as 0.010 s and as long as 30.0 s. By default, it assumes
0.020 seconds.
7.2.13. Loop (Sample Loop)
The original Mellotron tapes didn't loop. They played for around 8 seconds, and after that the
sound would shut off, and the key had to be released in order for the rewind mechanism to
pull the tape back to the starting point.
However, in Mellotron V we can overcome that limitation. This is done by defining loop
points, and defining a loop playback mode. By default, this parameter is Off, which means
the Mellotron V will behave like the original (when the sample reaches the end, it stops
playing).
If we choose
Forward (clicking the arrow pointing to the right), the instrument will play the
sample from the Start point up to the loop End point, and then will jump to the loop Start
point and continue looping this way until the key is released.
If we choose
Back and Forth (clicking the two arrows, one pointing to the right, and the other
pointing to the left), the instrument will play the sample from the Start point up to the loop
End point, and then will play the sample backwards up to the loop Start point, then will play
forward up to the loop End point again, and will repeat this cycle until the key is released.
The Mellotron V will define automatically a slight crossfade of the loop points to avoid clicks.
