Amplifier Envelope

After passing through the filters and their envelopes, the signal goes

into an analog voltage controlled amplifier or VCA. The VCA has a

dedicated, five-stage envelope generator.

The Amplifier Envelope is used to shape the volume characteristics of

a sound over time by giving you control over its attack, decay, sustain,

and release stages. The Pro 2’s envelope generators provide additional

controls for looping the envelope and for modulating the envelope

amount using keyboard velocity.
