SUSREL, EXAMPLE 4

This is a

SUSREL

envelope with the

Note Off occurring during the

DECAY 1

stage.

If a Sustain Pedal On occurs, the
envelope “jumps” to the

SUSREL

stage

and proceeds into

RELEASE 2

. If the

Sustain Pedal Off occurs during the

SUSREL

stage, the envelope will jump

RELEASE 2

for its final decay to

The gray lines in the illustration above

indicate the envelope stages that are
bypassed when a Note Off occurs
before the

DECAY 1

stage is complete.

After removing the bypassed stages
from the graph, the envelope shape
looks more like the one here on the

right.

MODTRG
The

MODTRG

(“modulation trigger”) envelope mode is very similar in function to

FRERUN

, except that the envelope is triggered by a user selectable modulation

source instead of the keyboard or other “note source” (the A6’s Sequencer,

Arpeggiator, or a received MIDI Note).

Start:

The envelope is started by an On level from the selected modulation

source.

Progress:

once the envelope is started, regardless of Modulation Input or Sustain

status (key held down or the Sustain Pedal is down), the envelope will
proceed normally through Delay, Attack, Decay 1, and Decay 2 stages
(subject to modulation, Retriggering, Looping, etc… ) to the

SUSTAIN

Stage.

Sustain:

If the Sustain Pedal is down when the

SUSTAIN

Stage is reached, the

pedal will hold at the

SUSTAIN

Level until the pedal is let go.

Afterwards, the envelope will proceed to

RELEASE 1

and continue

through to the end of the envelope.
