8.6 Master Envelope
Editing the release time of an Envelope with the Master Release control
It is often desirable to hear obvious audible changes in an Envelope with just a little bit
of work. This is the case when using the MIDI controller and playing live. For this reason,
ABSYNTH 5 has the central envelope Master Envelope, which follows the traditional envelope
model with the four-step phases Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release (ADSR): with this Master
Envelope you can change the amplitude progression fast and effectively. This opens up new
possibilities for real-time sound composition, especially in live situations.
8.6.1 Assigning Breakpoints
To use the four Master Envelope knobs in the navigation of Envelopes, you first have to con-
nect every Knob to a Breakpoint on an Envelope. In order to do this, proceed as follows:
Click on the ADSR Assign switch to put the Master Envelope into learning mode. Then click the
division A (the A Tab). Now you can select a Breakpoint for the attack phase of the Envelope.
To achieve this, click on a Breakpoint in the Envelope Display of the Envelope representation.
Next to the Breakpoint you will see a little A. Now you have connected the Breakpoint with
the attack Knob (A) of the Master Envelope. To undo the connection, click on the Breakpoint
again and the A disappears.
To connect the remaining three knobs of the Master Envelope with Breakpoints of the selected
Envelope, repeat the process; but first select, with the help of Tabs D, S and R, which Master
Envelope knob you wish to assign to the Breakpoint. When you have assigned the desired
Breakpoints to all the Master Envelope knobs, click the ADSR Assign switch again to turn off
the learning-mode.
