FILTER ENVELOPE SECTION
Preattack: The Filter Pre-attack value is adjusted with percentage numbers (0-100).
Preattack offsets the initial Filter Cutoff value for the attack of the Filter Envelope. For
example, a Preattack offset of 50.00 sets the envelope’s initial Filter Cutoff value to halfway
between the lowest Cutoff value (0) and the user specified Cutoff Value.
Attack: The Filter Attack time is measured in seconds (0-60). This value sets the amount of
time that it takes for a sustaining sample’s Filter envelope to morph between the lowest Cutoff
value (0) and the user specified Cutoff Value
Decay1: The Decay1 time is measured in seconds (0-60). This parameter defines the amount of
time it takes for the Filter Cutoff to morph from the peak Cutoff value down to the Filter
Sustain value.
Sustain: The Filter Sustain value is also adjusted with percentage numbers. (0-100). The
Sustain setting determines the Filter Cutoff value during the sustain portion of the Filter ADSR
that occurs between Decay1 and Decay2.
Decay2: The Decay2 time is either measured in seconds (0-60), or set to Infinite, which
overrides the time setting. Decay2 determines how long the Sustain section of the Filter
envelope will last before releasing, even without letting go of the note. Setting Decay2 to
Infinite will cause the Filter Cutoff to remain at the specified Sustain value until you release the
note.
Release: Filter Release time is measured in seconds (0-60)
. This value determines how long it
will take for the Filter Cutoff to ramp down from the Filter Sustain value to zero. If Decay2 is
set to Infinite, the release will begin when the note is released.
If Decay2 is set to an amount of
time, the release will begin either after that amount of time passes or if you release the note
before the Decay2 time passes.
