Playing programs Arpeggiator
23
Amp EG
The
Amp
EG
lets
you
control
how
the
volume
changes
over
the
course
of
a
note.
Every
instrument
has
its
own
characteristic
volume
envelope.
This
is
part
of
what
gives
each
instrument
its
identifiable
character.
Conversely,
by
changing
the
volume
contour–for
instance,
applying
a
string
‐
like
Amp
EG
curve
to
an
organ
multisample–
you
can
produce
interesting
and
unusual
sounds.
Use
PROG.
EDIT:
Amp
EG
to
adjust
the
envelope.
Arpeggiator
You
can
edit
the
arpeggiator
used
by

four
preset

and

patterns.
