ADSR

The ADSR is thean essential modulator for synthesis,synthesis. inIn this case, thisit is ana DAHDSR (Delay-Attack-Hold-Decay-Sustain-ReleaseRelease) envelope)envelope.

The main features of this ADSR are :are:

• 66-stage stages enveloppeenvelope (Delay-Attack-Hold-Decay-Sustain-Release)
• AttackConfigurable /curve Delayfor Attack, Delay, and releaseRelease stages has their curve configurable
• Multiple modes (Gate, Trig, LoopLoop, and Gated loop)Loop)
• EnveloppeThe envelope can be restartedrestart when retriggedretriggered before the endfinishing (or continue)
• Like every other modulators, Ouputthe output gain can be modulated to actfunction likeas a "Depth" parameter.

Keep in mind that every envelope parameter of the envelope can be modulated, except for the onesthose in the Settings tabtab, which setdefine the behaviorenvelope's of the enveloppe.behavior.

All values are showndisplayed in %. Time values depend on the Range settings (Snap, Fast, Medium, Slow).

ADSR Tab

The ADSR tab hasconsists of two pagespages, that you can navigatenavigable by pressing itsthe corresponding button (button 1).

Page 1 letsallows you to modify (and modulate) the envelope times:

Attack	Decay	Sustain	Release
Attack	Decay	Sustain	Release
SetSets the time it takes for the envelope to reach its highestpeak level,level after the gate goesis highactivated (or thea key is pressed in the case of MIDI) .	SetSets the time it takes for the envelope to go downdrop to the Sustain level,level after the Attack stage is completed andcompletes, while the gate remains high (or the key stays pressed in the case of MIDI).	SetDefines the level at which the envelope will stayremains as long as the gate is high (or while the key staysis pressedheld in the case of MIDI).	SetSets the time it takes for the envelope to go backreturn to its lowest level,level after the gate goesis lowreleased (or thea key is released in the case of MIDI). If the gate goesis lowreleased before the Decay (or Attack) stage is completed,finishes, the envelope will directly startstarts the Release stage from theits levelcurrent it was at when the gate went low, effectivelylevel, skipping the Sustain stage (or theboth Decay and Sustain stages)Sustain).

Page 2 letsallows you to modify (and modulate) the envelope curves:

Delay/Hold Tab

In thisThis tab allows you canto add segments to the ADSR envelope:

SetSets the delay time it takes forbefore the Attack stage to startstarts ramping up after the gate goesis highactivated (or thea key is pressed in the case of MIDI) .	SetSets the time during which the envelope is held at its maximum value,peak after the Attack stage is completedcompletes and before the Decay stage startsstarts.	-	-

Settings Tab

In thisThis tab you will findcontains settings forthat define the envelope behavior. ThoseThese settings cannot be modulated.
