Chapter 6: Modulation and Envelopes
146 ANDROMEDA A6 REFERENCE MANUAL
NORM 1, EXAMPLE 2
EXAMPLE 2a
This is a NORM 1 envelope with the
Note Off occurring during the ATTACK
stage.
The envelope “jumps” to the RELEASE
1 stage and proceeds into the RELEASE
2 level.
The gray lines in the illustration above
indicate the envelope stages that are
bypassed when a Note Off occurs
before the ATTACK stage is complete.
After removing the bypassed stages
from the graph, the envelope shape
looks more like the one here on the
right.
EXAMPLE 2b
When a sustain pedal is used, a
Sustain Pedal On will “jump” to the
SUSTAIN stage and hold at the Note Off
level. When the Sustain Pedal is let go,
the envelope will proceed into
RELEASE 1.
As with Example 2a, the gray lines in
the illustration above indicate the
envelope stages that are bypassed.
After removing the bypassed stages
from the graph, the envelope shape
looks more like the one here on the
left.
The duration of the SUSTAIN stage is as
long as the sustain pedal is down.
