The Envelopes
The Nave envelopes allow you to manipulate sound
parameters via rate or time modulations. Nave offers
three independent programable envelopes:
• Filter Envelope (Filter Env). This envelope is fi-
xed to control the filter but can also be used for
other modulations.
• Amplifier Envelope (Amp Env). This envelope is
fixed to control the sound volume, but can also
be used for other modulations.
• Additional Envelope (Free Env). This envelope
can be used freely to perform additional modula-
tions on any module.

The parameter controls of the envelopes are
nearly similar. Only the Free Envelope comes
without the Linear/ Exponential switches for the
envelope phases.
Filter Env / Free Amp / Amp Env
• Attack determines the attack rate or amount of
time it takes for a signal to go from zero to maxi-
mum level.
• Decay determines the decay rate or amount of
time it takes for a signal to reach the Sustain le-
vel.
• Sustain determines the sustain level which is
held until a note ends.
• Release begins, when a note has ended. During
this phase, the envelope fades to zero at the rate
determined by the Release value.
The envelopes also contain a loop function:
• AD Loop repeats the phase between Attack and
Sustain until a note is hold and Attack phase
