Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release : ADSR Explained

Since I cannot upload a pdf image directly, and converting it to any other format seems to cause the line to disappear altogether, here is what an image might look like when opened in Preview input for this image is [64 64 64 64]:. As you can see it is very thin.

However because it is a PDF image and not a raster image does not have to comply with thickness requirements. Try it online byte version, because it runs online. Note that certain outputs may not be completely visible using Trinket, because of the way the canvas works. You'll need to download and install Python if you want it to work better.

Click for larger version. Displays the image, with axis labs being cumsum c 0,A,D,64,R and c 0,,S,S,0 , as well axis lines and numeric labels. This uses the Gloss library. The display function expects a window to plot in here: First we need a call to size somewhere in the program so that the output will fit in the window default at x My newer answer is more straightforward than the older answer, but I like the older one more even if it is bigger.

Because thats what these settings do, they are the basic controls of envelope settings. In many synthesizers an envelope is defined by four parameters, as represented in the following figure from Wikipedia: Using the same envelop to modulate to parameters simultaneously is common e. Again, with the amplitude envelope, using a release really high it will take a long time before the note dies out when the note is released. How do you actually render this?

There is a small hack in there: I could have saved more with color 99 or 9 instead of ; but those are pretty hard to see on black. The script writes to file f the coordinates of each point, and xmgrace the GUI version reads the file and displays the plot using lines by default. I think this can be done directly by a grace script, if it can accept input, but I'm not familiar with its syntax.

I'll look into it. This is far from optimized, trying to learn the language while participating in these questions. Feel free to point out what I can do. Initially I thought I can't answer in dc, but I see that printing the syntax of a vector image is allowed. The code calculates the translated coordinates of each point and generates the SVG syntax for the plot. Since an image editor has the origin at the top-left corner, I had to subtract the y values from height , in this case, so that the image is shown as if the origin is at the bottom-left corner.

To display the image plot, save that exact output to a file and open it with Gimp, for example, or enter the text in an html page as I did above.

The script is a long concatenation of the SVG syntax string. The keyword M stands for move to coordinate and L stands for draw line from current position to given coordinate.

Shortest code in bytes wins. Note that the scale is different in each figure in accordance with the rule that scale can be freely chosen [15 30 70 40] [64 64 64 64] [0 10 50 80] [0 0 90 80] [5 50 0 0] [5 50 0 80] [24 32 48].

I was expecting a more simian challenge from the title! Ben That reference was intended too: Suever 9, 13 Explanation This uses a couple of techniques to achieve its goal. Here are two versions of the code without the wrapper: Since I cannot upload a pdf image directly, and converting it to any other format seems to cause the line to disappear altogether, here is what an image might look like when opened in Preview input for this image is [64 64 64 64]: Post Left Garf Hunter I sincerely admire the fact that you know TikZ so well that it's the first solution that comes into your mind.

How do you actually render this? You can use map in Python 2: Cannot call a function that blocks or suspends here on line undefined in main. Have you confirmed that it works? I'm not sure if the error is unique to Trinket or not. Works for me in 2. It's probably a limitation in Skulpt. I submitted a simpler version of this program as an example to the Skulpt github repo, and they thought it was a nice find. Hopefully they'll be able to fix it, but the pace of their "turtle sprint" seems to be more of a walk.

Takes the arguments in the order S, R, A, D and returns a vector graphics object.

The dotted line above indicates that the Release stage was activated and superseded the Fall time which was already in progress. The H in this acronym stands for Hold time and allows you to adjust the time that the peak amplitude level is held before the decay stage of the envelope begins. Third, the split slider control on the Attack parameter allows the user to specify the influence of Velocity on the Attack phase. In contrast to simple two or four stage envelopes, multiple stage envelops can be found for complex modulation possibilities.

Some envelopes allow you to specify sustain and loop points and various looping methods within the shape itself and use non-linear ramps based on logarithmic or exponential curves. The typical use of an envelope is to control or modulate amplitude. If there are multiple envelopes in an instrument, the last envelop is typically hardwired to amplitude in the case of the ES2 that would be Envelop 3.

Typical Stages

This means that no additional routing needs to be set up in the instrument for amplitude to be controlled. But things get interesting when envelopes are used to modulate parameters like the cut-off frequency of a low pass filter, pitch variations or noise bursts. Anything in the signal path is fair game.

Likewise they could be used alter the rate of an LFO or another modulator. Using the same envelop to modulate to parameters simultaneously is common e.

The difference between modulating a parameter with an LFO vs. The envelope generates data based on the duration of the event. But as mentioned above in the example from Sculpture, some envelopes can also be looped, in which case they become a sort of an LFO in their own right, based on their particular shape. As with LFOs, the impact of an envelope on whatever parameter it is attached to can often be controlled. Logic Pro uses the via nomenclature to accommodate this parameter.

Envelopes can be influenced by velocity, aftertouch, the mod wheel, or theoretically any MIDI continuous controller. Envelopes are crucial to creating unique synthesized sounds and can be used to modulate a myriad of parameters beyond amplitude for timbral and textural variety.
