9. A voice in the SD5 exploits a sampled wave form stored in a Wavetable as a sound source The wave form can also be created from a number of different samples arranged across the keyboard as multi splits or stacked to velocity switch according to the key dynamics but in any event these samples cannot be modified by the user on the 505 The raw sound of the wave form is processed via an amplitude envelope ADSR that tailors the curve by which the sound volume varies over time after a note is played There are different types of envelopes that are used by the SD5 is made up of four segments namely the Attack the time the sound takes to reach the maximum level Decay the time that the sound takes to drop from maximum level to that established by the Sustain Sustain the level at which the sound remains until the note played is released and Release the time the sound takes to drop from the Sustain level to Zero level This type of envelope 1 referred to as ADSR Together with the control via ADSR the SD5 enables the musician to modify the level of the harmonics of the sound with a filter that literally cuts off the frequencies above a point the so called cut off The frequencies near the cut off point can be boosted with the Resonance to crea te those classic sweeps that are typical of analogue synthesizers and often heard in dance music Again using the programming page the user can assign effects and Reverb to the voices and can modify the type
