Loop feature of the envelope, this parameter will have further effects on
the envelope behavior, and these will be discussed below.
Env [edit]: Loop

Soft Button:

Range:
decay, zero, hold, off
Default: off
Under normal circumstances, you'll want your envelope to go straight
through its stages, from attack to decay to sustain and/or release. But
sometimes, you'll want the envelope to loop back on itself and go
through some stages more than once. That's what this parameter is for.
When set to decay, the envelope will go through its attack and decay
stages like usual, but will then loop back to the beginning of the attack
stage. It will continue looping through the attack and decay stages as
long as the note is held. If the envelope is in Freerun mode, it will even
continue looping after you release the note. You will usually only want to
use this configuration with your filter or pitch/mod envelopes; if you set
up the amp envelope to loop forever, you'll only be able to stop it by
playing a lot of other notes at once to steal the voice.

When Loop is set to zero, the envelope will loop through the attack,
decay, and sustain stages as long as the note is held down. When the
note is released, the envelope will loop through the attack, decay, and
release stages. If you set your sustain and release times to different
values, this will allow your envelope to have different cycle times
depending on whether the note is held down or not. Setting sustain time
to Hold will even cause your envelope to start looping only after the
note has been released! When Freerun is active, the envelope will skip
the sustaining and go straight to the attack, decay, release loop.

Be careful! Setting Loop to zero will
always cause your envelope to loop
forever, regardless of the Freerun
parameter.
