Sound Parameters – EnvelopesWaldorf Q User’s Manual 124ADS1DS2R EnvelopeA difficult name for an envelope that is quite easy to understand. Besides the parameters an ADSRenvelope features, it offers an adjustable attack level and a second Decay and Sustain pair. With thisadditional parameters, you can create much more complex envelopes. The additional envelopeparameters are accessed through the Shift button.Attack DecaySustainReleaseKey pressed Key releasedTimeLevel100%Attack Level Sustain 2Decay 2Picture 40: ADS1DS2R EnvelopeAttack 0…127Determines the attack rate or amount of time it takes for a signal to go from zero to Attack level.Attack Level 0…127Controls the level where the Attack phase ends and the Decay phase starts.Decay 0…127Determines the decay rate or amount of time it takes for a signal to reach the Sustain level.Sustain 0…127As soon as the Sustain level is reached, the envelope proceeds with the second Decay/Sustain pairas explained below.Decay 2 0…127Determines the decay rate or amount of time it takes for a signal to reach the Sustain 2 level.Sustain 2 0…127Determines the level which is held until a note ends.Release 0…127Once the note is released, the release phase begins. During this phase, the envelope fades to zero atthe rate determined by the Release value.
