ADSR — Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release
The classic envelope shaper of sound. Four simple stages that dictate how a note breathes: the strike of its Attack, the fading Decay, the held Sustain, and the final Release. Together they form the invisible choreography behind every synth stab, pad swell, and bass punch — the heartbeat of electronic music in four letters.
Now it’s your turn: bring your own spin on ADSR. Whether you define it with technical precision, poetic flair, or playful metaphor, drop your version into the mix and let’s see how creatively this acronym can be reimagined.
