Yoshimi User Manual ~ Envelopes

## Envelopes

There are actually four envelope types. The bandwidth one in SubSynth has identical controls to the frequency envelope.

- A.val Attack target value - amplitude only
- A.dt Attack time
- D.val Decay target value - filter only
D.dt Decay time - not frequency or bandwidth
- R.dt Release time
- R.val Release target value - not amplitude
- Stretch Anticlockwise envelope is shorter on lower pitch notes and vice-versa
- L Linear - amplitude only
- frcR Forced release

The 'E' button opens the graphical window showing the overall envelope shape, where it is then possible to set freemode.

### Freemode

This window shows a freemode enabled envelope. This is where all the normal controls have been assigned to fully editable target points. Not only that, but you can add points up to a maximum of 40. This allows you to develop extremely detailed and expressive envelopes.
The yellow vertical is the sustain/release point, and you can have new points both sides of it.

- Freemode Enables or disable freemode behaviour
- Add point Creates a new point before the highlighted one (there must be one highlighted)
- Delete point Removes the highlighted point. There is a minimum of 3.
- Sust (sustain) The point that is to be regarded as the sustain point. Zero gives no sustain.
- Str (stretch)
- L (linear)
- fcR (forced release)
