And we have our amplitude envelope over on the right hand side here. We can actually only control the object with it, and each object type does react differently to it. So first of all, let's start out talking about strength. Right now we only have one object turned on. We have three different objects, and their parameters are very similar, and essentially we start off with strength. So…
