Amplifier
Discovery's amplifer applies an envelope to the output gain of the current layer of sound.
This is the fnal stage of synthesis. The following controls apply:
●
Attack
: Controls for the time that envelope moves from note press (0) to full
volume. (Does not apply to legato mode).
●
Decay
: This knob controls the time length between envelope gain goes from upper
point (end of Attack) to Sustain level.
●
Sustain
: Sets the point at which the envelope stays while note is held. This state
is held until the note is release.
●
Release
: Once the note is released, this knob will control the time in which the
gain will fall from current envelope point (Sustain) into complete silence, fnishing
the voice use.
Longer releases can result in many simultaneous voices, resulting in high CPU
usage.
●
Gain
: Adjusts the overall volume for the current layer. Use morphing to add
dynamics.
●
Limiter
: Applies a compressor with –Inf:1 ratio for the current layer.
Discovery Pro can also switch from default
linear
envelope
behavior to
exponential
, which is usually
better for pads, by clicking the LED next to each knob.
Once LED is enabled, that particular envelope stage will
use exponential values instead linear.
