NORD MODULAR V3.0
S S S S
Sets the sustain level. This level will be held (sustained) for as long as the logic Gate signal is high. When
the logic Gate signal drops to zero, the envelope will proceed with the release stage. The sustain level is
displayed in 'units' in the corresponding display box. Range: 0 to 64 units.
R R R R
Sets the release time. When the logic Gate signal drops to zero, the envelope will decrease from the sustain
level to zero with the release time. The release is exponential. The release time is displayed in milliseconds
or seconds in the corresponding display box. Range: 0.5 ms to 45 s.

Each of the attack, decay, sustain and release values can be controlled externally by using the correspond-
ing control signal input below the A, D, S and R knobs. You can adjust the level of each control signal
by turning the corresponding rotary knob. Note that the A, D and R control inputs handles bipolar con-
trol signals. Positive control signals shortens the times and negative control signals increase the times.

The info graph shows an approximation of the envelope gain curve. The yellow line represents the sustain
level, which is not defined in time since it depends on the gate signal hold time.

A logic control signal input that is used to start the envelope. Note that this is a Trig input and not a gate
input. This means the envelope will always complete all the envelope stages. A green LED indicates when
a trig signal is received
