Trigger

This defines the control source that starts the current layer’s ASRs. The ASR starts when the

trigger switches from off to on. If the Trigger parameter is set to ON, a global ASR starts

running immediately when you select a program that contains it. A local ASR starts running

as soon as you trigger a note in the layer that contains it. Switch controls are better suited for

ASR triggers because of their binary (on/off) nature. A continuous control will trigger the

ASRs when its signal value is above its midpoint.

Mode

This parameter sets the sustain section of the ASR. The ASR’s mode determines what the

ASR does when it finishes its attack section. If the Mode parameter is set to Normal, the

ASR will run directly from its attack section to its release section (no sustain). At a setting

of Repeat, the ASR will cycle through the attack and release sections, then loop forward and

cycle through again until the ASR’s trigger switches off. If the mode is set to Hold, the ASR

maintains its position at the end of the attack section until the ASR’s trigger switches off.

The ASR then goes into its release section. If the ASR’s trigger switches off before the attack

section is complete, the ASR goes directly to its release section.

Delay

When the ASR’s trigger switches on, the ASR will start immediately if this parameter is set to

zero. Nonzero values will cause a corresponding delay between the ASR trigger and the start

of the ASR.

Attack

This defines how long the ASR takes to ramp up from minimum to maximum effect on

whatever it’s patched to.

Release

This defines how long the ASR takes to fade to minimum from its maximum. If the ASR’s

trigger switches off before the ASR has reached maximum, the ASR releases from that level.
