THE PHASEMISTRESS CONTROL PANEL - ADSR MODE
PhaseMistress — Version 5
The Attack knob determines how fast the envelope will increase to its
maximum value once it has been triggered. The lower the setting of
the Attack knob, the faster the attack time. As you increase the setting
of the Attack knob the attack time will get longer / slower (similar to
increasing the Smoothing parameter). Keep in mind that the possible
modulation level goes from a hypothetical 0 to 100%, so the Attack time
determines how fast the envelope modulation signal will move from a
level of “0” to a level of “100”.
A ( ATTACK )
Once the Attack has reached its maximum value, the envelope moves to
the Decay stage and the modulation signal “decays” then until the Sus-
tain value is reached. The Decay knob controls the speed or length of
the decay time. The lower the setting of the Decay knob, the faster the
decay time will be. Conversely, the higher the setting of the Decay knob
the longer the decay time will be and the longer it will take to reach the
Sustain level.
Note that if you do not want a decay to occur, you can turn the knob all
the way up.
D ( DECAY )
The Sustain knob controls at what level (between 0 –100%) the enve-
lope will “hold” or sustain at as long as the Trigger button is held down,
or, as long as the input signal is above the Threshold setting.
S ( SUSTAIN )
The Release knob adjusts the time it takes for the envelope signal to
move from the Sustain level back to a “0” level once the Trigger button
is released, or after the input goes below the Threshold.
R ( RELEASE )
ADSR Mode features a slide out Tweak Menu accessible by selecting the
Tweak Button located underneath the Input/Output controls.
ADSR Mode’s Tweak Menu consists of the same first row of controls
found in LFO and Rhythm Mode (Freq Mod, Res Mod, Res Ofs Mod, L/R
Offset, L/R Mode, and Analog Style). For a detailed look at each parame-
ter, please refer back to pages 14-16 of this manual.
