About This Tool
Sound designers and modular synthesizer enthusiasts adjust Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release (ADSR) envelope generator stages to shape voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) levels and filter cutoff curves. Traditional analog envelope circuits rely on resistor-capacitor (RC) charging curves where time constant tau equals resistance times capacitance (`tau = R × C`), with attack times reaching 63.2% of peak voltage in one tau.
### Implementation Notice & Calculation Model Rather than simulating discrete analog RC circuit transistor ladder networks or capacitor charge tolerances, this interactive utility computes a 3-variable comparative envelope parameter model: - **Primary Dimension / Load (val1):** Base envelope duration or primary amplitude stage (default: 100). - **Operating Coefficient (val2):** Stage transition multiplier or modulation scaling index (default: 20). - **Safety / Rate Factor (val3):** Envelope curve divisor or rate factor, automatically guarded against zero division (default: 5).
### Algebraic Formulas & Worked Example With default component inputs (val1 = 100, val2 = 20, val3 = 5): 1. **Primary Output Metric:** `(val1 × val2) / max(0.01, val3) = (100 × 20) / 5 = 400.00` 2. **Secondary Geometric Root:** `sqrt(val1 × val2) = sqrt(100 × 20) = sqrt(2000) ≈ 44.72` 3. **Stage Efficiency Percentage:** `(val1 / (val1 + val2)) × 100 = (100 / 120) × 100 ≈ 83.33%`
### Synthesis Model & Computation Privacy No synthesizer patch data, parameter configurations, or audio telemetry are transmitted to remote servers.

Enter your primary envelope dimension or stage duration into the Primary Dimension / Load field.
- 2
Set your modulation or curve scaling value in the Operating Coefficient field.
- 3
Adjust the divisor parameter in the Safety / Rate Factor field.
- 4
Review the computed primary output metric, geometric root factor, and stage efficiency percentage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this calculator simulate physical analog capacitor charge curves?
No. The utility evaluates a 3-variable algebraic scaling model for comparative sizing rather than simulating physical RC circuit voltages.
What formulas are used for the envelope metrics?
The tool computes (val1 × val2) / max(0.01, val3), the geometric mean sqrt(val1 × val2), and the load ratio (val1 / (val1 + val2)) × 100.
Is any patch or preset data sent to a server?
No. The calculator operates 100% client-side in your local browser runtime.
