EG outputs a signal which increases in a time depending on the
Attack
setting. Then follows the
“Decay” part, while the output decreases to a level specified by the
Sustain
setting, during a time
specified by the
Decay
setting. It stays to this “sustain” level as long as the EG is gated (ie as long
as the note is hold). Then when the note in off, it goes into the “release” stage, while the output
continuously decreases to zero, depending to the
Release
setting.
Attack
: set the time over which the output
increases.
Decay
: set the time the output decreases to the
sustain level.
Sustain
: set the sustain level, maintains while the
EG is gated (the note is h
e
ld)
Release
: set the time the output decrease to zero
after the note is released.
While knobs control the last 4 parameters, there
are additional features, which are all controlled by
switches. As always a function is active when the
diode is lit.
Key track
: Connect keyboard follow to the EG's
parameter modulation. The highest the note
played, the shortest the attack will be.
Loop2
: set the ADSR 2 in a loop mode. This
means that as long as the note is held, the EG
cycles from attack to release, while bypassing the
sustain stage
Mul
: Multiplies the ADSR parameters by a
factor 2, 3 or 4. This parameter is especially
handy when you need very long attack times, or
decays ( Example : Pads )
