ADSR Explained: The Four Forces That Shape Your Sound

ADSR: Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release.
The Tri-Force: Power, Wisdom, Courage (and you).

Those who wield ADSR envelopes are capable of many things--including shaping some truly epic sounds. What sort of sounds have you made?

Thank you so much! This is just the video I needed!

I always kinda just messed with attack and release, never really understood decay and sustain all that well besides cutting all but the decay and keeping that short for choppy drums. But my man, you have opened up my world of understanding. Thank you!

What does it mean for the ADSR to "open" and "close" a filter? Is the filter passband gain (amplitude), filter cutoff frequency or filter resonance changing ? Does the shape of the lowpass filter change? Can you set the "strength" of the ADSR's effect on the filter, e.g. limit the range of opening and closing the filter?

Very helpful, thanks a lot!

It"s bomba thank you )))
