- Amplifier
- An amplifier is an linear device which increases the strength of a
signal. An amplifier can increase the voltage swing of a signal, it is
then said to have a voltage gain. An
amplifier can also increase the current strength of a signal. If an
amplifier has no voltage gain it is said to be unity gain and is
usually called buffer. There exists
amplifiers which gain can be changed by an applied signal these are
called VCAs.
- Attack
- Attack is a term used for envelopes.
It is the period when the envelope rises from its initial dead level
up to the peak level. The attack period is started when the trigger
gets active.
