D(ECAY):
This fader determines the duration of the envelope’s decay
stage. The higher the setting, the longer it will take for the envelope to
travel from the maximum level reached at the end of the attack stage to
the level that is determined by the sustain stage. The decay stage can be
as short as 0.5 milliseconds or as long as 10 seconds.
D(ECAY) H(OLD):
In shift mode the
DECAY
fader allows you to adjust the
amount of time it takes for the decay stage to start after the attack stage
reached its peak. The decay hold stage can be as short as 0 seconds or
as long as 10 seconds. At its minimum setting this parameter will have no
impact, i.e. the envelope will then respond as if it only featured five or four
stages (attack, decay, sustain, and release or attack hold, attack, decay,
sustain, and release).
S(USTAIN):
This fader determines at which level the envelope is sustained
if you hold down a note on the keyboard for longer than the hold, attack
and decay stages. This is the only control parameter of the envelope
generator that is not tied to a duration, but to a level. The duration of the
sustain stage always depends on how long you keep holding down a key.
R(ELEASE):
This fader determines the duration of the envelope’s release
stage once you release a key. The higher the setting, the slower the
release time and the longer it will take for the effect the envelope has on its
destination to fade out after you released a key. The release stage can be
as short as 0.5 milliseconds or as long as 10 seconds.
The
KEYTRACK
toggle switch allows you to determine whether or not and
to what degree the duration of envelope 1’s decay and release stages will
respond relative to the pitch of the notes being played on the keyboard.
The toggle switch allows you to choose between the following options:
• OFF:
At this setting the duration of the envelope’s decay and release
stages will remain unaffected by the pitch of the notes that are being
played on the keyboard.
• 1/2:
At this setting the duration of the envelope’s decay and release
stages will respond in relation to the pitch of the notes being played on
the keyboard. The higher the note you play on the keyboard, the faster
the decay and release stages will be articulated. At a key-tracking
setting of
1/2
, the time it takes for the envelope to travel through its
decay and release stages will decrease relative to the keyboard pitch in
quarter tone steps.
• ON:
At this setting the duration of the envelope’s decay and release
stages will also respond in relation to the pitch of the notes being played
on the keyboard. This option allows for full key-tracking, meaning the
time it takes for the envelope to travel through its decay and release
stages will decrease relative to the keyboard pitch in semitones.
Toggling the KEYTRACK switch in shift mode will enable key-
tracking for both envelopes.
