Decay 2 Time (sec)

The Decay 2 Time is measured in seconds (0.000-60.000) or is set to “Infinite” which overrides the time setting.

This parameter determines how long the Sustain section of the envelope will last. A Decay 2 Time will cause the sample level to sustain for that amount of time and then go into the release, even without letting go of the note. Checking the “Infinite” check box will cause the sample level to sustain indefinitely until you release the note.

Release time (sec)

The Release Time is measured in seconds (0.000-60.000).

This parameter determines how long it will take for the sample volume to ramp down depending on how Decay 2 is set.

If the Decay 2 is set to “Infinite”, the release will kick in when the note is released.

If the Decay 2 is set to a specific amount of time, then the release will kick in after that amount of time or when you release the note, whichever comes first.
