takes for the note's amplitude to ascend to the

(the Program's volume) before moving to the

Use this knob to set how much time it takes for the note's amplitude to descend to the
level of the

being played. The lower the note, the shorter the Decay time will be. The higher the note, the
longer the Decay time will be.
Key > Hold:
Use this knob to set how much the
Hold
value modulates based on the note
being played. The lower the note, the shorter the Hold time will be. The higher the note, the
longer the Hold time will be.
