Slider Function
[A] Attack Time
Sets the time required for the volume of each note to reach its peak. This
time increases as you raise the slider.
[D] Decay Time
Determines the time it takes for the note's volume to drop from its peak
to its sustain level. If the sustain level is at its maximum, this has no effect.
[S] Sustain Level
Determines the level at which the volume is maintained after the peak
has been reached. As long as you continue to press a key on the keyboard,
its note keeps sounding at this level.
[R] Release Time
Sets the time it takes for a note's volume to reach zero after you release
your finger from a key on a keyboard.
For example, if you shorten a note's attack time and lengthen its release time, the
note's volume may be shaped like a note on a piano. If the sustain level is at
maximum, it may sound like an organ, and if the attack time is long, it may sound
like a string section.
