Parameter Description
Attack Rate
(15 levels)
The higher the Attack Rate, the longer sounds take to reach the maximum
volume. When using tones with Attack Rate high, use longer notes or select
slower tempo.
Decay Rate
(16 levels)
Lower Decay Rate to shorten the time sounds reach down to Sustain Level
Sustain Level
(16 levels)
The Sustain Level for a Normal Tone equals the sustained volume. For
Step-Down Tones, Sustain Level measures the volume at which Ring Tone
begins to decrease. The higher the Sustain Level, the higher the volume.
Sustain Rate
(16 levels) The lower the Sustain Rate, the longer the Sustain Level volume is
sustained.
16 is Normal Tone, and other levels are Step-Down Tones.
Release Rate
(16 levels)
The Release Rate for a Normal Tone equals the time from beginning to end
of a sound. For Step-Down Tones, Release Rate measures the time from
when a sound begins to decrease until it ends completely. The lower the
Release Rate, the sooner the sound ends. For sustaining effects, increase
Release Rate.
KEYOFF Nullify
(On/Off) Choose On to avoid sound skipping of Step-Down Tones including those in
DRUM
Wave Select
(29 types)
Select from 29 waveforms
Vibrato
(four levels/Off)
Vibrato is a periodic variation in pitch
AM Modulation
(four levels/Off) The higher the AM Modulation level, the stronger the tremolo (periodic
changes in loudness)
Feed Back
(eight levels)
Set Feed Back (not available for some Operators)
+
When Release Rate is set high for Normal Tones, rests may be ignored in playback.

Effect Level
(four levels) Effect Level affects cycle time of wavering quality in pitch or loudness.
Select high level to shorten the cycle.
Basic Octave
(four levels)
Adjust octave of tones
Panpot (31 levels)
Panpot measures the position of sounds, which varies by combination of L
(left) and R (right). Sound bias is emphasized as the value difference
increases.
Sustain (On/Off) Choose On to extend sounds
Vibration Level
(four levels/Off)
Select higher level for stronger vibrato
