ENVELOPES SECTION
When this parameter has a +ve value, during the “Sustain” phase of the envelope the Sustain value will rise to full at a “Rate”
determined by this parameter as can be seen below:
Low values like +01 will produce a very slow rise & high values will produce a quick rise to full intensity. When this parameter has a
-ve value, during the “Sustain” phase of the envelope the Sustain value will fall to zero at a “Rate” determined by this parameter as
can be seen below:
Low values like -01 will produce a very slow fall & high values will produce a quick fall to zero intensity. The range of this parame-
ter is -64 to +63. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
The lower parameter is “Env 1 sustain time”. In this case with a value of 000.
This parameter controls the length of time the “Sustain” phase of the envelope lasts. Use the lower Data knob to adjust this para-
meter. Full clockwise at a value of “Key” the sustain phase of the envelope behaves as any standard ADSR envelope. i.e. the sus-
tain phase lasts until the key has been released, at which pint the release phase starts. Any setting other that the Key setting
defines a finite time duration for the sustain phase. If this is shorter than the duration that the key is held down then the release
phase is started before the key is released. The range of this parameter is 000 to 126 & Key. This parameter is memorised with a
Program.
Page 5 looks like so:
The higher parameter is “Env 2 level track”. In this case with a value of +00.
In conjunction with the “Env 2 level note” parameter below these parameters control the amount of envelope modulation in relation
to the note played on the master keyboard. This is particularly useful when dealing with more complex FM synthesis. Use the high-
er Data knob to adjust this parameter. The operation of this parameter is identical to Env 1 level track parameter on page 2 but
applies to Envelope 2. The range of this parameter is -64 to +63. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
The lower parameter is “Env 2 level note”. In this case with a value of +00.
In conjunction with the “Env 2 level track” parameter above these parameters control the amount of envelope modulation in relation
to the note played on the master keyboard. This is particularly useful when dealing with more complex FM synthesis. Use the lower
Data knob to adjust this parameter. The operation of this parameter is identical to Env 1 level note parameter on page 2 but applies
to Envelope 2. The range of this parameter is C-2 to G9. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
