The parameter Decay lets you apply typical decay characteristics
to the sound. The effect of the decay pertains to the key pressed
on the keyboard: in the positive range the note is held as long as
the selected sample allows (organ envelope), the zero position
corresponds approximately to the decay time of a stringed
instrument, and in the negative range the decay time gradually
becomes shorter.
On the Z1000 the parameter Attack applies to both the filter and
the amplitude. When set to a positive value this parameter
causes a delay in the attack. For example, this allows you to
eliminate the attack noise of the sample waveform or, with a
higher setting, to apply the attack characteristics of strings to
waveforms with a percussive attack. When the Cutoff value is in
the positive range, the attack is employed only for delaying the
amplitude (the fade-in of the attack takes place in the volume).
When the Cutoff value is in the negative range, the attack also
modulates the attack response of the filter.
parameters. If you move the filter value downward, the sound
becomes muddier. It still can, however, be varied dynamically by
adjusting the velocity. When the keys are struck more forcefully,
the filter opens again, thus letting you control the variations in
timbre by way of the force with which you play the keyboard.
