The Envelopes
GakStoar alpha has two ADSR envelopes for amplitude and filter cutoff and one envelope for pitch (for both oscillators individual switchable)
The following parameters are available (the pitch envelope is described separately):

parameter | range | explanation |
Attack | 1 ms ... 10.0 s | The time in which the full level is reached. Can be adjusted at the "short" times with an accuracy of 1 ms (millisecond). |
Decay | 1 ms ... 10.0 s | The time in which the sustain level is reached. |
Sustain | 0..100% | The level which is held until the key on the keyboard is released. |
Release | 1 ms ... 10.0 s | The time in which the level decreases to null (not longer noticeable). |
The pitch envelope is differently arranged. The pitch envelope for the oscillator must be switched on, so that a pitch modulation actually takes place.

parameter | range | explanation |
Pitch 1 | -12 ... 12 | The startup pitch is relative to the played note and covers a range of one octave up and down (+12 and -12 semitones). The Oscillator starts with this relative pitch. |
Time 1 | 0ms ... 10,0s | The time in which the Oscillator reaches its "normal" Pitch (the pitch corresponding to the played note). Can be adjusted at the "short" times with an accuracy of 1 ms (millisecond). An adjustment of 0,000 causes an immediate, delay-free reaching of the destination pitch. |
Time 2 | 0ms ... 10,0s | The time in which the final pitch is reached. Can be adjusted at the "short" times with an accuracy of 1 ms (millisecond). An adjustment of 0,000 causes an immediate, delay-free reaching of the destination pitch. |
Pitch 2 | -12 ... 12 | The final pitch. Relative to the played note and covers a range of one octave up and down (+12 and -12 semitones). |
