Hallo,

No, it has a unique envelope generator which used four pairs of
"levels" and "rates" to be specified. This is more aking to a
breakpoint envelope in the traditional sense, but it can be used to
simulate an ADSR. Quoting the manual (pg 26, available here:
http://www.maths.abdn.ac.uk/~bensondj/html/dx7.html):
NOTE If you are familiar with analog synthesizers that
have Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release envelope genera-
tors (ADSR EGs), you may recognize the line defined
by R1 and L1 as the "attack" portion of the envelope.
There are parallels between a conventional ADSR EGs
and the DX7's EGs. However the DX7 envelopes are
much more flexible than ADSR types because the DX7
offers 8 precisely programmable parameters (R1, L1,
R2,L2. R3,L3, R4, L4) instead of 4 (A-D-S-R). I t ' s not
really important for you to understand ADSR enve-
lopes when you're programming the DX7, but if you
already do and are curious about the comparison, see
the envelope discussion in the Advanced Program-
ming Notes section of this manual.
