Making a User Sound
There are two steps to making a User Sound: Editing the effect settings—same as described in the
previous section—and editing the sound’s character.
You can adjust six parameters of the sound character: Vibrato Depth, Brightness, Attack, Decay,
Sustain, and Release.
Brightness
controls the Strength of the high frequencies. Higher values produce a brighter sound,
lower values produce a darker sound.
Vibrato Depth
controls the depth of the Vibrato effect. Positive values produce a deeper Vibrato.
Negative values produce a shallower Vibrato. The actual speed of the vibrato is preset for each
sound.
Attack
determines how quickly a sound reaches its maximum volume after you press a key. Positive
values produce a slower attack that is more gradual and smooth, while negative values produce a
faster attack that is more percussive in nature.
Decay
determines how quickly the volume of the sound decreases after it reaches it maximum
volume while the key is still held down. Positive values produce a slower decay, while negative
values produce a faster decay.
Sustain
determines the volume level of the sound after the decay portion of the sound is complete.
Positive values produce a louder volume, while negative values produce a softer volume.
Release
determines how long it takes for the sound to fade away to silence after you release the
key. Positive values produce a slower fade, while negative values produce a faster fade.
Note:
For some sounds, changing the values for these parameters may have no effect. Each sound has a
pre-programmed setting for each of these parameters. When you change the values you are increasing
or decreasing the value from the pre-programmed setting. If the setting for a certain sound parameter
is 0 for example, then changing the value will have no effect.
