Everyone Can Play Music #10: Envelopes in Sound Design

[f33jay]

So... what's the main difference between the Filter envelope and the Amplitude envelope?

[Discchord]

@f33jay They behave the same way, the only difference is one is controlling the filter cutoff and the other is controlling the over-all volume. This allows you to control the two things with slightly different timings. For instance you might want the volume to come in fast, so you'd have a low attack on that. But if you want the filter to ramp, you'd have a high attack on that.
