NORM 2, EXAMPLE 3
EXAMPLE 3a
This is a NORM 2 envelope with the
Note Off occurring during the DECAY 1
stage.
The envelope “jumps” directly to the
RELEASE 2 stage and proceeds 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.
EXAMPLE 3b
When a sustain pedal is used, a
Sustain Pedal On will “jump” to the
SUSTAIN stage and hold at the Note Off
level. When the Sustain Pedal is let go,
the envelope will proceed into the
RELEASE 2 stage and proceed to 0 .
As with Example 3a, the gray lines in
the illustration above indicate the
envelope stages that are bypassed.
After removing the bypassed stages
from the graph, the envelope shape
looks more like the one here on the
left.
The duration of the Sustain stage is as
long as the sustain pedal is down.
