Envelopes

A terse lookup for every envelope control. Aconite has six envelopes: Env 1 defaults to amplitude, Env 2 to filter cutoff, and Env 3 to 6 are free. Every envelope shares the control set below. See The envelope pool and Drawable envelopes.

ControlWhat it doesRange / values
AttackRise time from note-on to peak.time
DecayFall time from peak to the Sustain level.time
SustainHeld level while the key is down.0 to 100 %
ReleaseFall time to silence after note-off.time
ADS RelTies the Release time to Decay, collapsing the envelope to a three-stage shape driven by one control.Off / On
ControlWhat it doesRange / values
ModelEnvelope voicing: sets the attack, decay, and release curve shapes. ADS is a punchy exponential whose release reuses the decay time; Analogue a rounded RC-style exponential; Digital near-linear and precise; Vintage a linear attack into an exponential decay and release; Classic an exponential attack into a linear decay and release.ADS / Analogue / Digital / Vintage / Classic
VelocityHow much playing velocity scales the envelope output.0 to 100 %
KeytrackHow much pitch scales the envelope times (higher notes shorter).signed %
CurveBends the attack and decay slopes from linear into the exponential curves of an analog RC envelope, for a snappier feel.0 to 100 %
QuantizeSnaps the envelope output to discrete steps, turning the smooth contour into a stepped, staircase sweep.0 to 100 %
ControlWhat it doesRange / values
CycleNormal runs the envelope once per note; Loop repeats the attack and decay stage like an LFO; One-shot ignores note-off and plays the full shape to the end.Normal / Loop / One-shot
Loop SyncWhen looping, locks the loop rate to the host tempo (via Loop Div) instead of the free attack and decay times.Off / On
Loop DivNote division the loop rate locks to when Loop Sync is on.note value
DrawSwaps the fixed ADSR handles for a freely drawn multi-segment contour, shaping the envelope point by point.Off / On
Env RestartOn a re-triggered note, whether envelopes resume From Current level (smooth) or restart From Zero (a clean, consistent attack).From Current / From Zero
