CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 406
Envelope Initial Level (Initial) This sets the initial value of the envelope.
Envelope Peak Level (Peak) This is the peak level at the end of the note attack.
Envelope Sustain Level (Sustain) This is the sustain level at the end of the note decay. The
envelope will stay at this level until note release unless it is in Loop, Sync or Beat Mode.
Envelope End Level (End) (Filter and pitch envelopes only) This is the level reached at the
end of the Release stage.
Envelope Mode (Mode) If this is set to Loop, the envelope will start again after the end of
the decay segment. If set to Beat or Sync, it will start again after a given beat-time. In Sync
Mode, this behavior will be quantized to song time. In Trigger mode, the envelope ignores
note off.
Envelope Beat/Sync Rate (Repeat) The envelope will be retriggered after this amount of
beat-time, as long as it is still on. When retriggered, the envelope will move at the given
attack rate from the current level to the peak level.
Envelope Loop Time (Time) If a note is still on after the end of the decay/sustain segment,
the envelope will start again from its initial value. The time it takes to move from the sustain
level to the initial value is dened by this parameter.
Envelope Rates<Velocity (Time<Vel) Envelope segments will be modulated by note ve-
locity as dened by this setting. This is especially interesting if the envelopes are looping.
Note that this modulation does not inuence the beat-time in Beat or Sync Modes, but the
envelope segments themselves.
The lter and pitch envelopes also provide parameters that adjust the slope of their envelope
segments. Positive slope values cause the envelope to move quickly at the beginning, then
slower. Negative slope values cause the envelope to remain at for longer, then move faster
at the end. A slope of zero is linear; the envelope will move at the same rate throughout
the segment.
Attack Slope (A.Slope) Adjusts the shape of the Attack envelope segment.
Decay Slope (D.Slope) Adjusts the shape of the Decay envelope segment.
Release Slope (R.Slope) Adjusts the shape of the Release envelope segment.
