without a Sustain phase while the amplifier envelope
offers a switch for Sustain. Everytime a note comes in,
both envelopes are triggered with an Attack rate of zero
Boost on / off
Boost saturates the signal. If set to off, no
saturation will be added or, in other words,
the signal will remain clean. If set to on, har-
monics will be added to the signal, resulting
in a warm distorted character, suitable for
harder lead sounds and effects. For your in-
formation: The saturation stage is located behind the
filter module.
✻ Boost is well suited for sounds that use some fil-
ter resonance.
Sustain on / off
If Sustain is set to on, the envelope will remain
at the maximum level as long as the note is
played. Otherwise it will fade towards zero with
a rate according to Decay.
Release on / off
If Release is set to on, the envelope will fade to
zero using the Decay rate when the note is
stopped. Otherwise the envelope stops with a
decay rate of zero, which results in immediate
silence
Decay
Decay is the rate used for the envelope to
go down to zero according to both Sustain
and Release settings.

If both Sustain and Release are set to "on", the
envelope will not be retriggered when the pitch
changes because one key has been released.
Otherwise the envelope will always be triggered
whenever pitch changes. Keep this in mind when
experimenting with the Arpeggiator, as it can pro-
duce surprising results.
