Envelope Controls

Venom provides 3 separate envelope generators (EG). Envelopes are time based modulation sources that react

to how the keys are played. All envelopes can be used as a modulation sources for a variety of destinations (see

Modulation Matrix). EG 1 is “hard wired” to Amplitude and as such always effects Amplitude in addition to

any other modulation destination to which it may be assigned. EG 2 is typically applied to the Filter and EG

3 is freely assignable using the Modulation Matrix.

Attack Sets the amount of time (2 ms to 20 sec.) it takes for the envelope to go from minimum level (0) to max-

imum level. Attack is the first stage of the envelope and occurs right as the key is pressed. You can use the fol-

lowing MIDI CC numbers to edit the Attack Time for the corresponding envelope generator: EG 1 = MIDI CC

73, EG 2 = MIDI CC 20, and EG 3 = MIDI CC 25.

Hold Sets the amount of time (2 ms to 20 sec.) the envelope holds at maximum level before entering the Decay

stage. Hold is the second stage of the envelope and occurs if the key is still held after the Attack stage. You can

use the following MIDI CC numbers to edit the Hold Time for the corresponding envelope generator:

EG 1 = MIDI CC 28, EG 2 = MIDI CC 21, and EG 3 = MIDI CC 26.

Decay Sets the amount of time (0–20 sec.) it takes for the envelope to go from maximum level to the Sustain

level. Decay is the third stage of the envelope and occurs if the key is still held after the Hold stage. You can

use the following MIDI CC numbers to edit the Decay Time for the corresponding envelope generator:

EG 1 = MIDI CC 75, EG 2 = MIDI CC 22, and EG 3 = MIDI CC 27.

Sustain Sets the level that the envelope holds at while the key is held. Sustain is the fourth stage of the enve-

lope and continues as long as the key is held. You can use the following MIDI CC numbers to edit the Sustain

Level for the corresponding envelope generator: EG 1 = MIDI CC 79, EG 2 = MIDI CC 23, and EG 3 = MIDI CC

76.

Release Sets the amount of time (2 ms to 20 sec.) it takes for the envelope to go from the Sustain Level to min-

imum level (0). Release is the fifth and final stage of the envelope and occurs when the key is let up. You can

use the following MIDI CC numbers to edit the Release Time for the corresponding envelope generator:

EG 1 = MIDI CC 72, EG 2 = MIDI CC 24, and EG 3 = MIDI CC 77 (range 0–126).

Setting Release for ENV 2 or ENV 3 to 127 results in an infinite release time, or “Release Hold.”
