GLOSSARY
Envelope calling cards vietnam
The envelope is a special kind of shape that controls the value
of a property (usually volume) over time. This gives a synthesizer
more natural sounding, but it can also be used for creating special
effects. The common type of envelope is called ADSR. ADSR stands
for Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release. All envelopes now are less or
more based on the ADSR envelope model. However, as you will see in
FL Studio too, some envelopes are enhanced with additional
elements, to suit some particular requirements for the specific
generator.
ADSR Envelope elements:
- Attack - Attack determines the time it takes
for the note to get to the maximum level.
- Decay - Decay determines the time it takes for
the note to go from the maximum level to the sustain level
(controlled by Sustain).
- Sustain - Sustain determines the level the
sound is played at while the note is being held (after the other
envelope states (Attack and Decay) have been cycled
through).
- Release - Release determines the time it takes
for the note to go from the sustain level to zero level when it is
released.
