Valve Release
On a pipe organ, the end of each note (when a key is
released) the reeds fall in pitch, which is more or less
audible on different instruments. The 538/i548’s “Valve
Release” parameter allows you to simulate this
phenomenon (“8” represents the most noticeable
effect), or to switch it off.
