Envelopes - CreamWare PRODYSSEY ASB Benutzerhandbuch

Voltage Controlled Amplifier
The envelope and the amplifier determine the sound's
volume curve. You can use the AR or the ADSR enve-
lope to modulate the amplifier. You will also find the
volume fader in this section of the synth.
VCA Gain
This is where you set the sound's volume, which is inde-
pendent of the envelope generated volume curve i.e.
the PRODYSSEY ASB sounds the same even with no
external keyboard, sequencer, etc.
Envelope Generators
Two envelopes are available for different modulation
uses. The first envelope provides settings for attack and
release, while sustain is fixed at maximum. The second
envelope is more complex and features attack, decay,
sustain, and release. You can select from various pla-
ces on the synth which of the envelopes to use on the
modulation. The ADSR envelope can be used to control
the pitch, the pulse width, the cutoff frequency, and the
volume. The AR envelope can be used on the filter cut-
off and the Amplifier. An added feature of the new versi-
on of the synth is that you can set the envelope genera-
tors' velocity to change when you play on the keyboard.
Attack
The duration of the first envelope segment.
During the attack phase the envelope rises
for the selected time frame to maximum.
The selected intensity sets the rate of this
rise.
Decay
The duration of the second envelope segment. During the decay
phase the envelope level falls to the selected "sustain" level.
Sustain: The third segment of the envelope. This control sets the
level at which the envelope stays after decay phase while a note is
held. The sustain effect is dependent on the selected modulation
intensity.
