The second decay phase should of course been the release phase, that paragraph should have read: Release: This determines the time taken for a note to die away after the key is released. A longer release produces sustained notes, and 'Sustain' buttons usually increase this time constant, although some seem to just increase the sustain level. On monophonic machines a long release time would result in one note cutting off abruptly when another one started, because there's only one VCO, and it can't do do jobs at once. If the key is released during the attack or decay phase, then the release phase is entered early.
