The PPG Wave 2.V has two ADSR and one AD Envelope with positive or negative
deflection, which can also be edited graphically. Find additional information in the
section “Graphical Editor (Graph)” in this manual. The illustration below explains
the structure of a classic ADSR Envelope:

The original PPG had an especially interesting feature, which can of course al-
ways be found in the Plug-In. If the Attack Rate of an Envelope was set to a va-
lue higher than 47, then the signal would execute the Attack-phase completely,
no matter if the note was still played or not. The the Envelope would always
switch into the Release-phase. This function is especially useful for long filter-
sweeps. For this to work, Envelope 2, which controls the volume, must of
course also be set correspondingly.
ADSR ENVELOPE 1 A,D,S,R each 0...63
This Envelope is used to control the filter frequency and the waveforms. The four
dials control the exact Envelope form and time-wise modulation development. The
impact of the Envelope on the filter frequency can be adjusted with the ENV1-VCF
parameter, the intensity of waveform modulation is changed with the ENV1-WAVES
parameter.
ADSR ENVELOPE 2 A,D,S,R each 0...63
This Envelope is used to control level development. The four dials control the exact
Envelope form and time-wise modulation development of the sound’s level. The in-
tensity of this Envelope can be controlled with the ENV2 VCA parameter.
AD ENVELOPE 3 A,D, ATT each 0...63
This Envelope can be assigned to different modulation targets. Attack and Decay
behave as usual, but the signal always travels through the Envelope completely, no
matter if a note is held or not.
