Hopefully, you will find poetry written by my family members and the occassional friend. Of course, that all depends on who I can convince to write me a diddy or two.
(1) The time taken for a musical or other sound to reach maximum loudness or timbre from silence. The start of a sound. (2) Of a compressor or limiter etc. The time the device takes to respond to a transition in the signal level beyond the threshold. (3) Of an envelope generator the time taken for the envelope to reach its maximum level from its off or zero position. If the EG is being used to control an amplifier (VCA or DCA) the time taken to reach maximum loudness from silence.
