About Subtractive Synthesis Page 85

After the envelope has reached full level, it starts to fall back again. How long this should take, is set with

the Decay parameter.

The level of the envelope does not necessarily have to fall all the way back to zero level at the end of the

Decay. Instead, the ADSR-envelope has a Sustain setting used to determine the level the envelope should

rest at, after the Decay. If you for example want to create a flute sound, you would have a fairly high

Sustain setting on your Volume envelope, since a flute tone basically stays at a steady level for as long as

you play it. On the other hand, for a piano sound, you would want a Sustain level of “0”, since a piano

sound decays to silence if you hold the key long enough.
