FL Studio - ADSR Envelopes - Warbeats Tutorial

From http://www.warbeats.com : The famous ADSR Envelope... It's seen in almost every virtual instrument or software synthesizer from Albino to Halion to SampleTank to Z3ta but do you know what it does?

In this tutorial I try to explain how an ADSR envelope helps shape a sound. To demonstrate I chose to use the FL Studio sampler channel but the way ADSR works is the same in just about every instance.

ADSR can be applied to various parts of a sound, it's volume is one of the most common as well as the filter. Understanding ADSR is important if you ever plan to create your own unique sounds someday.

Wtf? The beginning of this is so wrong. The rest is great.

I expect I'll be rated down by fanboys for saying this but it's the truth no matter how you spin it:

Controlling the playback of a long sample through envelopes = BIG WTF.

You use LOOP POINTS for that (to set the start and end points of a sample).

The envelope is for adjusting the VOLUME pattern for the sample. The LOOP POINTS are for EDITING the sample.

What you're doing by using the envelope is removing the envelopes real utility.

I beg to differ, editing a sample is completly different than loop points. You would use edison for that.

Loop points are used when you want to loop or repeat a sample, hence the name LOOP.

ADSR is an envelope and as demonstrated can be used to make a sample play for a certain amount of time and fade.

@regularmagnolia what i think ideally he is trying to be able to make a sample set sound smooth with help of the envelopes. If not, thats what i got out of it > : D
