   7 Description::
   8 link::Classes/Decay::  has a very sharp attack and can produce clicks.
   9 Decay2 rounds off the attack by subtracting one Decay from another.
  10 code:: Decay2.ar(in, attackTime, decayTime):: is equivalent to:

  12 code::
  13 Decay.ar(in, decayTime) - Decay.ar(in, attackTime)

  39 code::
  40 // since attack and decay are a difference of two Decays,
  41 // swapping the values, the envelope turns upside down:
  42 plot({ Decay2.ar(Impulse.ar(1), 0.001, 0.01) })
  43 plot({ Decay2.ar(Impulse.ar(1), 0.01, 0.001) })
  44
  45 // used as an envelope
  46 { Decay2.ar(Impulse.ar(XLine.kr(1,50,20), 0.25), 0.01, 0.2, FSinOsc.ar(600)) }.play;
  47
  48 // compare the above with Decay used as the envelope
  49 { Decay.ar(Impulse.ar(XLine.kr(1,50,20), 0.25), 0.2, FSinOsc.ar(600), 0)  }.play;
