Envelope (Attack/Release)

envelope - controls how sounds fade in and out over time

attack - how quickly the sound reaches full volume release - how long the sound fades out after you stop

access envelope:

  1. [shift] + [sound] to enter sound edit
  2. navigate to EN (envelope) page with [-/+]
  3. x-knob: attack (fade in time)
  4. y-knob: release (fade out time)

attack settings:

  • low/zero: sound starts immediately (punchy drums)
  • high: sound fades in slowly (pads, ambient swells)

release settings:

  • low: sound cuts off sharply when pad is released
  • high: sound fades out gradually (natural decay)

practical uses:

  • add attack to soften harsh drum transients
  • add release to smooth out abrupt sample endings
  • combine for pad-like textures from any sample
