thank you for this video and all your videos! :) I do understand how ADSR envelopes normally work, but in Metasounds I do not understand why the Sustain level is not time? what is the number telling us? it just continues forewer... I think I am missing something really simple, but can not figure out what....? thought maybe someone looking at this might see this comment and know the answer. I am so exited about working with Metasounds and can not figure this out

So sorry for the delay in responding. For some reason YT stopped notifying me of new comments. The sustain level is the amplitude the envelope drops to after the decay and it will stay there indefinitely until a trigger input is received to the "Trigger Release" input. For example: if your attack time is 1, you're input will go from a value of 0 to 1 in 1 second' immediately followed by your decay. Let's just say that your decay time is also 1 and your decay level is .75. Over the course of 1 second, your envelope will go from a value of 1 to .75 and stay there. Then when it receives the trigger to release, it will finish the job of going from .75 down to 0 over whatever you've set as the release time.
