ENVELOPE EXAMPLES
Now that we’ve covered envelope functions in detail, let’s take a look at a few
envelopes that can be created in the A6. The envelope depicted on page 135
represents the most basic envelope contour: all stages are used, they’re all linear and
all levels have positive values.
The following five examples are just a few of the endless variations that can be
accomplished on the A6, but illustrate the flexibility of these powerful modulations.
