Dear Jen,

What I mean with attack transient is the first part of a musical sound
(from zero to the maximum intensity), and with decay transient the last
part of a musical sound (from maximum intensity to the zero
intensity).

Also, if you produce a musical sound with an attack and a decay
(i.e. both of 2 sec. of duration), without the sustain period
you can compare the perceived duration of the two parts (attack
and decay).

Grazie a te

        Massimo
