Envelope Editors

Determines how much the selected envelope affects the audio. This parameter allows for positive and negative values. If the Envelope Amount is set to 0, the envelope has no effect.

Shows the envelope curve. You can adjust it by adding, moving, and deleting nodes. The nodes for attack (A), sustain (S), and release (R) are always shown and cannot be deleted. Next to the release node, the release time of the envelope is shown.

Determines how the envelope is played back when it is triggered.

• Select Sustain to play the envelope from the first node to the sustain node. The sustain level is held for as long as you play the note. When you release the note, the envelope continues with the stages following the sustain. This mode is suited for looped samples.

• Select Loop to play back the envelope from the first node to the loop nodes. Then, the loop is repeated for as long as the key is held. When you release the note, the envelope continues playing the stages that follow the sustain. This mode is suited for adding motion to the sustain of the envelope.

• Select One Shot to play the envelope from the first to the last node, even if you release the key. The envelope has no sustain stage. This mode is suited for drum samples.

• Select Sample Loop to preserve the natural attack of the sample. The decay of the envelope does not start until the sample has reached the sample loop start.

  If you set the second node to the maximum level and use the following nodes to shape the decay during the loop phase of the sample, the envelope only affects the loop phase. The attack of the envelope is still executed.

Determines how the velocity affects the level of the envelope.

The level of the envelope depends on the velocity setting and on how hard you hit a key. Higher values increase the level of the envelope the harder you hit a key.
