4.8 The Store Function

The Store function lets you save an edited program for later use. 
Press and hold the <Shift> key and simultaneously press the
<Down> key to activate the Store function. When you first
activate this function, the program number and a flashing “S” are
displayed. If the current program number is between 1 and 20,
the appropriate program number is displayed. If the current
program number is greater than 20, then 20 is automatically
subtracted from the number. Programs 21 through 40 are not
user-programmable. Use the <Up> and <Down> keys to select a
new program number. Press <Shift-Down> again to store the
current program at the program number’s memory location. All
Editing or Compare modes are deactivated automatically. The
<Mode> key terminates the Store function. 

5. The Parameters

5.1 Edit Level 1, VCF Envelope

This is where you can adjust the VCF envelope’s parameters. The
attack phase of the envelope is activated via a MIDI Note On
message or an audio trigger. The release phase is activated via a
MIDI Note Off message or at the point when the trigger signal’s
decay value drops lower than a specific defined value. The current
volume level is used as the reference value. In other words, the
level is not automatically set to “0” at the start of the envelope.
You can start envelopes at any time via the <Manual Trigger> key.
The VCF envelope is used primarily to control the cutoff
frequency (refer to Section 5.5, <Cutoff>), but it can also be used
to modulate other parameters (refer to Chapter 6). 

Attack

Value range of 0...127
<Attack> describes the ascent rate of the envelope. At an initial
level of zero, the value of 0 is equivalent to approx. 2 milliseconds;
64 equals one second; 127 equals approx. one minute.
