4.2 The Edit View 35
The envelope modules generate a four segment envelope:
attack, decay, sustain, release. The attack time is adjusted us-
ing the Attack knob. The attack time can also be modulated
with the velocity signal received from the MIDI keyboard to
make the attack time shorter as the velocity increases, the in-
tensity of this effect being controlled using the Vel knob on the
left of the Attack knob. When this knob is in its leftmost po-
sition, the attack is only determined by the value of the Attack
knob, turning the knob clockwise increases the influence of
the velocity signal until the attack time is strictly determined
by the inverse of the velocity signal when the Vel knob is fully
turned to the right. The decay time is set with the Decay knob.
The sustain phase of the envelope generator lasts from the end
of the decay phase until the key is released. When the Sustain
knob is fully turned to the left, the sustain level is zero and
there is no sustain phase while fully turned to the right, the
sustain level is at maximum and there is no decay phase. When the key is released, the envelope
generator toggles to the release phase and the envelope signal decreases from the value at the end
of the sustain phase to zero in a time set by the Release knob.
Note that during the sustain phase, the envelope signal can be made to decrease even if a key
is still depressed. The time taken to go from the level set by the Sustain knob to a value of zero
is then determined by the value of the Time knob located below the Sustain knob. When the Time
knob is fully turned to the left, the envelope signal falls to zero right after the end of the decay
phase; when the knob is in it rightmost position, the sustain level is held as long as the key is
depressed. Finally, the overall level of the envelope can be controlled with the velocity signal from
the keyboard through the Vel slider located to the left of the Sustain knob and behaves in exactly
the same way as the Vel parameter associated with the Attack knob.
Shape of the Envelope Segments
We have so far determined the shape of the envelope by adjusting the duration of the different
phases as well as their level. The envelope signal can further be modified by adjusting the shape
of the envelope segments. These are linear when the Exp button is in its off position and become
exponential when it is switched on as shown in Figure 17.
Free Run Mode
The Free button sets the envelope into free-run mode. This allows one to bypass the sustain phase
of the envelope or in other words, to go directly from the decay phase to the release phase regardless
of the amount of time a key is depressed.
