User Manual

▪ ADSR: Typically, the ADSR envelope is used for longer, sustained Samples that require
complex dynamic control.
Unlike many other hardware devices, the pads on MASCHINE are sensitive not only to
being hit, but also to being held — so using the ADSR envelope, you can make the pads
behave like a MIDI keyboard and sustain a note only for as long as it is held down.
Parameter Description
AMPLITUDE ENVELOPE
Attack (AHD and
ADSR)
Attack determines how quickly the Sound reaches full volume after
being triggered.
Hold (AHD only) Hold determines how long the envelope will stay at its maximum
level.
Decay (AHD and
ADSR)
Decay determines how fast the envelope drops to the Sustain level in
ADSR mode; in AHD mode, it is used to adjust how fast the Sound
dies down. This parameter can also be modulated by the Velocity
control, see ↑6.2.5, Page 5: LFO.
Sustain (ADSR only) Sustain determines the constant level being kept after Decay until
the note ends. This can also be controlled by an external MIDI
controller or keyboard using the MIDI Control Change 64.
Release (ADSR only) Release determines how long the sound takes to fade out after the
note has ended.
