  Pushing the Nvelope
Take complete control over the "shape" of your tracks with the brand-new Nvelope 500 from Elysia! The Nvelope allows you to reshape the attack and sustain characteristics of any sound, from drums to guitars to a full mix. Tweak the attack for maximum impact and detail. Roll up the sustain for fullness and character. Switch to EQ mode for total control of the spectral content of the signals. With two channels, you can process kick and snare separately or link together for stereo keyboards or a full mix. You won't believe how powerful the Nvelope 500 is until you put it to work!

The Nvelope 500 is in the popular and convenient 500-series format, and will work with any 500-series-compatible chassis.
