Expert Sleepers Silent Way v1.7.3 - Manual (Page 35)

This alternate view exposes the full range
of controls for each envelope generator.
There are three attack sections and two
release sections, plus the sustain section.
The shape of the curve in each section can
be independently controlled.
In terms of the simple view, ‘A’ maps to
‘Time A2’, ‘D’ maps to ‘Time A3’, and ‘R’
maps to ‘Time R1’.
If ‘Level A1’ remains at zero, ‘Time A1’ is
essentially a delay before the envelope
starts, which can be useful for auto-
rhythmic effects.
Env Misc
The Env Misc group contains three more controls per envelope.
The Vel 1/2/3 knobs control how much Envelope 1/2/3 respec-
tively are affected by the velocity of MIDI notes. At the default set-
ting of 0.0 the envelope is not affected by velocity at all. At a setting
of 1.0, the scale of the envelope is completely determined by the ve-
locity - so a note with velocity zero will produce a constant zero en-
velope. At a setting of -1.0, the envelope depth is inversely related
to the note velocity.
The Mult 1/2/3 dropdown menus allow you to apply a multiplier
to the envelope times. E.g. when the multiplier is set to 10, all the
envelope stages will take 10 times longer than the value displayed
on the envelope knobs.
The ‘RTZ’ (Reset To Zero) buttons control whether each envelope
always starts from zero, or whether it continues from its current
value when retriggered.
