ADS1DS2R Envelope
A difficult name for an envelope that is quite easy to understand. Besides the parameters an ADSR
envelope features, it offers an adjustable attack level and a second Decay and Sustain pair. With these
additional parameters, you can create much more complex envelopes. The additional envelope
parameters are accessed through the
Shift
button.

ADS1DS2R Envelope
Attack
0…127
Determines the attack rate or amount of time it takes for a signal to go from zero to Attack level.
Attack Level
0…127
Controls the level at each the
Attack
phase ends and the
Decay
phase starts.
Decay
0…127
Determines the decay rate or amount of time it takes for a signal to reach the
Sustain
level.
Sustain
0…127
As soon as the
Sustain
level is reached, the envelope proceeds with the second
Decay/Sustain
pair
as explained below.
Decay 2
0…127
Determines the decay rate or amount of time it takes for a signal to reach the
Sustain 2
level.
Sustain 2
0…127
Determines the level which is maintained until a note ends.
Release
0…127
Once the note is released, the release phase begins. During this phase, the envelope fades to zero at
the rate determined by the Release value.
