SUSREL, EXAMPLE 4
This is a SUSREL envelope with the
Note Off occurring during the DECAY 1
stage.
If a Sustain Pedal On occurs, the
envelope “jumps” to the
SUSREL stage
and proceeds into RELEASE 2 . If the
Sustain Pedal Off occurs during the
SUSREL stage, the envelope will jump
to RELEASE 2 for its final decay to 0 .
The gray lines in the illustration above
indicate the envelope stages that are
bypassed when a Note Off occurs
before the
DECAY 1 stage is complete.
After removing the bypassed stages
from the graph, the envelope shape
looks more like the one here on the
right.
MODTRG
The
MODTRG (“modulation trigger”) envelope mode is very similar in function to
FRERUN , except that the envelope is triggered by a user selectable modulation
source instead of the keyboard or other “note source” (the A6’s Sequencer,
Arpeggiator, or a received MIDI Note).
Start: The envelope is started by an On level from the selected modulation
source.
Progress: once the envelope is started, regardless of Modulation Input or Sustain
status (key held down or the Sustain Pedal is down), the envelope will
proceed normally through Delay, Attack, Decay 1, and Decay 2 stages
(subject to modulation, Retriggering, Looping, etc… ) to the
SUSTAIN
Stage.
Sustain: If the Sustain Pedal is down when the SUSTAIN Stage is reached, the
pedal will hold at the SUSTAIN Level until the pedal is let go.
Afterwards, the envelope will proceed to RELEASE 1 and continue
through to the end of the envelope.
