TIME
•
Range is 0% to 100%. This control affects the decay time of the noise - Larger
values result in longer decay times.

Range is -50% to +50%. This control sets the mapping of breath pressure to the
output volume of the noise signal. 0% means a linear 1:1 mapping as follows:
LEVEL
•
Range is 0% to 100%. Sets the master volume of the generated noise signal.
