Attack

The first parameter of an envelope generator which determines the rate or time it will take for the event to reach the highest level before starting to decay.


The first part of the sound of a note. In a synthesizer envelope, the attack segment is the segment during which the envelope rises from its initial value (usually zero) to the attack level (often the maximum level for the envelope) at a rate determined by the attack time parameter.
