After the first decay ramps down, the sample audio will sustain for a period of time
depending on the Decay 2 settings. (Infinite or Decay time) This setting determines the
volume level of this sustaining portion.
Decay 2 (sec)
The Decay 2 Time is measured in seconds (0.000-60.000) or it is set to “Infinite”
which overrides the time setting.
This parameter determines how long the Sustain section of the envelope will last.
Decay 2 Time will cause the sample level to sustain for that amount of time and then go
into the release, even without letting go (note-off) of the note.
Release (sec)
The Release Time is measured in seconds (0.000-60.000).
This parameter determines how long it will take for the sample volume to ramp
down depending on how Decay 2 is set.
If the Decay 2 is set to “Infinite”, the release will kick in when the note is released. If
the Decay 2 is set to an amount of time, then the release will kick in after that amount
of time passes “or” if you release the note before that time passes, then the release will
kick in at that point.
Envelope 3
a half second max for a natural sounding instrument. However extreme settings can
be used for special effects to put a slow volume ramp up for each triggered note.
Depth (cents)
Use the internal depth to apply a fixed amount of detuning or depth for the pitch
with a minimum setting of -1200 to a maximum of 1200 cents (+/- one octave).
Two types of control are in this section. There are
basic controls for the Pitch Envelope (EG3) located
at the far left side. In addition, there are sensitivity
controls for MIDI control modulators for the ampli-
tude (EG1) and filter (EG2) envelopes.
Attack (sec)
The attack time is measured in seconds (0.000-
10.000).
This parameter sets the amount of time that it
takes for the pitch to reach its nominal setting. For
most instruments, this time will range from zero to
