The attack time — how quickly Noise reaches full volume — is set with the A (Attack) slider, while
the time it takes for the envelope to reach the sustain level after the attack phase is set by the D
(Decay) slider.
The S (Sustain) slider sets the level at which the envelope will remain from the end of the decay
phase to the release of the key. When this slider is set to 0, there is no sustain phase. With it set
to 100, there is no decay phase.
Finally, the release time is set with the R (Release) slider. This is the time it takes for the envelope
to reach zero after the key is released.
The Noise section can be toggled on or off via the switch next to its name.
24.2.3 Resonator Tabs
Collision’s Resonators.
The majority of Collision’s character is determined by the parameters in the two Resonator tabs.
Each stereo resonator can be toggled on or off via the switch in its tab. Keep in mind that if both
resonators are turned off, no sound will be produced.
Each resonator section is further divided into three subsections. On the left are controls related
to tuning. In the center are the controls that determine the physical properties of the resonant
object. To the right are mixer controls. Each resonator’s center subsection contains a “Copy to“
button. Pressing this button copies this subsection’s parameter settings from the currently selected
resonator to the other resonator.
The “link“ tab between the Resonator tabs allows you to adjust parameters for both resonators
simultaneously. The behavior here is similar to what happens when you edit the properties for a
multi-selection of clips (page 97): parameters that have differing values will display the value
range (either on the control for knobs or in the status bar for sliders and choosers) and can be
