Envelope 2
Delay: Use this knob to set the amount of time before the envelope starts.
Attack: Use this knob to set how much time it takes for the pitch or filter cutoff to ascend to
the level of the Program's tuning or filter cutoff.
Hold: Use this knob to set how long the pitch or filter cutoff will remain at the level of the
Program's tuning or filter cutoff before moving to the Decay stage of the envelope.
Decay: Use this knob to set how much time it takes for the pitch or filter cutoff to descend to
the level of the Sustain parameter.
Sustain: Use this knob to set the pitch or filter cutoff 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 pitch or
filter cutoff. 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 pitch or
filter cutoff. The lower the note, the shorter the Hold time will be. The higher the note, the
longer the Hold time will be.
Important: Envelope 2's
identical functions to those of the Amp
Envelope, but Envelope 2 modulates the
tuning and filter cutoff frequency. (See the
Pitch Controls and Filter Controls sections
to learn more about how to adjust the
amount of modulation.)
