EG (Envelope Generator)

Part Edit Mode
The EG parameters allow you to shape the sound of a Part's Voice — or, in
other words, set how the level and timbre of the Voice changes over time.
This section also includes independent Pitch Envelope Generator (PEG) pa-
rameters for controlling how the pitch of a Part's Voice changes over time.
The relationship of the main EG parameters — Attack, Decay and Re-
lease — are shown in the illustration below. These parameters not only affect
the sound level, but also the timbre (with the Filter parameters; see page 43).
This determines the amount of filter resonance or emphasis of the
Cutoff Frequency parameter above. Higher values increase the em-
phasis of the Cutoff Frequency, producing a higher resonant peak,
while lower values produce a relatively flat response.
