Same Synth Note, Two Attack Speeds

Compare a 15 ms attack and a 450 ms attack on the same 220 Hz synth note.

What to listen for

Attack controls how quickly the note rises. Both examples have the same pitch and peak level. Once the slower attack reaches its peak at 450 ms, the two synthesized signals match for the rest of the note.
