Sound Parameters
49 M Manual
Envelopes Section
M’s 4 programmable envelopes allow you to manipulate
sound parameters via rate or timed modulations.
• VCF DADSR. This envelopes is designed to control
the VCF, but can also be used for other modulations.
• VCA ADSR. This envelope is designed to control the
sound volume, but can also be used for other modula-
tions.
• Wave . This loopable envelope with 8 different times
and levels (multi segment envelope) is designed to
control the wave scanning for a wavetable, but can
also be used for other modulations.
• Free . This loopable envelope with 4 different times
and levels (multi segment envelope) can be used
freely to perform modulations on any module.

An ADSR envelope is started by pressing a key. It
ascends to its maximum value at the rate deter-
mined 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 deter-
mined by the
Release
parameter.

Multi segment envelopes are extremely flexible
modulation sources. Their structure is made of
grouped time/level parameters that allows one to
generate an almost free modulation amount over
several time segments. The envelope consists of se-
veral single segments, that can be divided into a
sustain and a release phase. The crossover point
between these two phases can be determined by
selecting the corresponding segment number. The
envelope is started by pressing a key. It ascends to
the
Level 1
value at the rate determined by the
Ti-
me 1
parameter. In the next time segment
Time 2
the amplitude moves to the
Level 2
value. The sa-
me procedure is processed for the following seg-
ments until the end of the sustain phase is reached.
The envelope then moves on to process the remai-
ning segments until it finally ends with its last va-
lue
Level 8
. In fact you can reduce the number of
processed segments to get things easier. Additio-
nally you can repeat specific segments by installing
loops in the sustain phase as well as in the release
phase.
