Microfreak/UG/09 Envelope Gen/03 Envelope Stages
09.3 Envelope stages
- The MicroFreak's Envelope Generator has three stages: Attack, Decay/Release, and Sustain. It is technically an ADS envelope because the keyboard can hold the Sustain stage indefinitely.
09.3.1 Attack
- Attack sets how long the envelope takes to rise from its minimum to its initial maximum level: from 0 ms to 10 seconds.
09.3.2 Decay/Release
- Decay/Release sets how long the envelope takes to move from its attack level to its Sustain level after Attack ends. Its range is 0 ms to 13 seconds.
09.3.3 Sustain
- Sustain sets the level where the signal settles after Decay. This level is usually lower than the initial level, but it can be the same; in that case, Decay does not change the envelope. Use a low Sustain level for percussive sounds.
