Secrets of Wusik
decay time would be a function of both the decay and sustain settings.
Last in this first category, we need to measure release. I did do the test to confirm that the value would be time Once again, we get to go through the and not slope, but it would be mad to utter enjoyment of "set, freeze, record think it would be different in that value, unfreeze". Too much regard than decay. excitement for one day, right? Once again, the very lowest values are Here we need to change things a little. questionable but that probably Take your MIDI one note masterpiece matters little. Table 2 shows the and make the note end on beat three results of the decay measurements. (exactly at two seconds). Set attack to zero and suspend at 127. Not that It's reasonable to expect that sustain it matters when suspend is maxed out, is just a simple ratio, that 64 is about but set decay at zero just to be half. Let's check this just to make sure completely certain it'll play no role. In and, yes, in Wusik Station it is this case, we need to subtract two (however, remember that the scale is seconds from the time at which the dB). I don't think we need a table for signal returns to zero. Otherwise the sustain values. drill is the same as before. Table 3

shows the results. I shouldn't even need to say it, but I will anyway: the values for the very lowest values are probably a little bogus. Don't Cut Me Off! OK, let's move on to something that you might think would be more elusive: the filter cutoff control mappings. That is, it would be elusive if we didn't have the brilliant (and free!) Voxengo Span VST plug-in at our disposal. Compared to calibrating ADSR settings, this is now actually a piece of cake. We don't need to do the tedious set/freeze/read/unfreeze repetitions.
