SHAPE: Selecting the Stage Slope
Each time parameter of an envelope (except Delay) has a user-selectable property
called slope. This term refers to how the attack, decay and release stages accelerate
(speed up) or decelerate (slow down) as each stage approaches its target level.
When a time stage parameter is selected, its current slope appears in the far right side
of the display. Use Soft Knob
7 to make your selection:
• A LINEAR slope means that the time settings do not accelerate (or decelerate)
as the stage progresses towards its target level. In the illustration above, notice
that the linear slope is depicted as a straight line (from where we get the term
“linear”). The stage doesn’t speed up or slow down in its duration but keeps
an even rate of change.
