segment will begin at the value of the envelope at the moment the note-off message occurs,
regardless of which segment is currently active.
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 en-
velope will stay at this level until note release unless it is in Loop, Sync or Beat Mode.
Envelope End Level (End) — (LFO, Filter and pitch envelopes only) This is the level reached at the
end of the Release stage.
Envelope Loop Mode (Loop) — 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 defined by this parameter.
Envelope Rates<Velocity (Time<Vel) — Envelope segments will be modulated by note velocity
as defined by this setting. This is especially interesting if the envelopes are looping. Note that this
modulation does not influence the beat-time in Beat or Sync Modes, but the envelope segments
themselves.
The filter 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 slow-
er. Negative slope values cause the envelope to remain flat 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.
