Envelopes & Control Signals Category
Generates an envelope with the specified attack and release times with either linear or exponential
segments.
In a prototype with an Envelope parameter field (Oscillator, for example) you can use an envelope
generator directly as the Envelope parameter. Envelope generators can also be used to control other
parameters (such as Frequency or OnDuration). To apply an envelope to any Sound, use the Sound and
an envelope generator as Inputs to the VCA prototype. (The VCA simply multiplies its two inputs by each
other).
AttackTime
Time required for the envelope to reach its maximum value (as attenuated by Scale) whenever its Gate
value becomes positive.
ReleaseTime
Time it takes for the envelope to return to 0 once Gate changes from a positive number back to zero.
Type
Choose between linear and exponential segment shapes.
Scale
Overall attenuation on the envelope generator values.
Gate
Enter a 1 in this field to play the Sound exactly once for the duration you have specified in the Duration
field.
If you use an EventValue (for example, !KeyDown) in this field, the Sound can be retriggered as often as
you like within the duration specified in the Duration field.
When Gate becomes positive, the Sound is heard; when Gate becomes zero, the Sound is released.
