So basically we've got a couple of different envelopes. We've got one for the amplitude and one for the filter. Now the amplitude envelope is going to be the one that controls the overall volume curve of the patch that you're using as you hit a note. So we've got attack, decay, sustain, release. It's very simple, attack, decay and release are all time functions. Sustain is a level. So let's talk attack and decay. Now, attack is the amount of time it takes to go from zero to full power when you hit a key. Decay is the…
