DIGITAL PROCESSING 4 LOOP ON,
LOOP IN RELEASE,
and BACKWARDS modes
■
Loop On
turns the loop on and off for a particular voice.
■
Loop in Release
turns on the Release Loop. Without Release Loop, the signal may
cut off abruptly after you remove your fingers from the keys; with Release Loop, you can
loop the final portion of the sample so that the loop will keep playing—even after you
lift your finger off the key—for as long as the VCA release lasts.
■
Backwards
reads the voice out of memory in the reverse order from which it was
stored. Backwards mode uses the Sustain Loop for its release, and the Release Loop for
its sustain.
Applications: Backwards tape effects simulation. Reverse attack and decay characteris-
tics of voices.
