Envelope Controls

Amp Envelope
Hold: Use this knob to set how long the note will sound at the Program's maximum amplitude
(the Program's volume) before moving to the Decay stage of the envelope.
Decay: Use this knob to set how much time it takes for the note's amplitude to descend to the
level of the Sustain parameter.
Sustain: Use this knob to set the audio level of the note that the Decay stage will descend to.
Note: EWI5000 does not use the Release stage of a traditional synth envelope.
Key > Decay: Use this knob set how much the Decay value modulates based on the note
being played. The lower the note, the shorter the Decay time will be. The higher the note, the
longer the Decay time will be.
Key > Hold: Use this knob to set how much the Hold value modulates based on the note
being played. The lower the note, the shorter the Hold time will be. The higher the note, the
longer the Hold time will be.
Delay: Use this knob to set the amount of time
before the note starts.
Attack: Use this knob to set how much time it
takes for the note's amplitude to ascend to the
Program's volume level.
