Pitch Envelope Section; Amp Envelope Modulation Section - Tascam GVI Owner's Manual

PITCH ENVELOPE SECTION

Attack: The pitch Attack time is measured in seconds (0-60). This value determines the amount
of time that it takes for a sustained note to be tuned from the specified pitch Depth value back to
its original pitch.
Depth: Pitch Envelope Depth is measured in cents and represents the Attack or Note On pitch
of a sample. In other words, when a note is played, the sample begins playback with the
specified Depth offset and is then bent back to its original pitch over the time interval specified
in the Attack parameter.

AMP ENVELOPE MODULATION SECTION

Controller: The amplitude modulation controls allow real-time MIDI control of the Attack,
Decay and Release of a samples amplitude envelope. Use the Controller drop-down menu to
choose the MIDI controller from the list of standard MIDI controllers.
Invert: When enabled, this setting reverses the incoming MIDI controller data values.
Attack, Decay, and Release depth: These sliders allow you to enable MIDI control of
amplitude envelope parameters. Enabling these parameters allows the specified MIDI
Modulation Controller to affect one, two, or all three parameters at once, with varying intensity
for each.
The overall audible effect of the MIDI controller will depend on the region's amplitude
envelope settings. For example, if the amplitude envelope Attack time is set to zero, you will
not hear any effect by altering the Modulation Controller. With an envelope Attack higher than
zero, the Modulation Controller will start working; smaller Attack time settings will result in
subtle changes while larger Attack time settings result in more dramatic changes. The same
paradigm also applies similarly to the Decay and Release values.
