ENVELOPE
Envelope and Sample & Hold are the two primary modulation sources of
Softpop.
An envelope is a simple time function that, once triggered, goes up
(attack) and down (decay). It can also be cycled to function as an LFO
(low-frequency oscillator).
The main envelope controls are RATE, which controls how fast both
attack and decay happen, and SHAPE, which sets the proportion between
attack and decay. The SP2's envelope has an exponential shape in both
the attack and decay phases, which works great for the percussive decay
character and gives the longer attack shapes a reversed feel.
The envelope can be triggered by a short press of the TRIG button or by
active gates of the sequencer (normalized in the patchbay).
If the CYCLE switch is in the upper position, the envelope will repeat its
shape infinitely (becoming an LFO).
