The Qoffers four independent programmable envelopes for every sound program:• A Filter Envelope. This envelope is designed to control the filter but can also be used forother modulations.• An Amplifier Envelope. This envelope is designed to control the sound volume, but canalso be used for other modulations.• Two additional Envelopes Env 3 and Env 4.
