ENVELOPE
The
ATTACK
,
DECAY
,
RELEASE
, and
SUSTAIN
parameters provided here let you shape the volume
envelope of the voice.
1 ATTACK
Sets the speed of attack — i.e. how fast the sound
reaches maximum level after a key is pressed.
“
0
” sets the normal attack for the selected voice,
minus settings produce a slower attack, and plus
settings produce a faster attack. Use the
1
LCD
dials to set as required.
2 DECAY
Sets the speed of decay portion of the envelope
— i.e. how fast the sound decays from the maxi-
mum attack level to its normal level.
“
0
” sets the normal decay for the selected voice,
minus settings produce a slower decay, and plus
settings produce a faster decay. Use the
2
LCD
dials to set as required.
3 RELEASE
Sets the speed of release — i.e. how fast the
sound decays after a key is released when the
panel [SUSTAIN] button is off and the sustain
pedal is not pressed.
“
0
” sets the normal release for the selected
voice, minus settings produce a slower release
decay, and plus settings produce a faster release
decay. Use the
3
LCD dials to set as required.
4 SUSTAIN
Sets the speed of sustain decay — i.e. how fast
the sound decays after a key is released when the
panel [SUSTAIN] button is on or the sustain
pedal is pressed.
“
0
” sets the normal sustain for the selected voice,
minus settings produce a longer sustain decay, and
plus settings produce a faster sustain decay. Use the
4
LCD dials to set as required.
NOTES
• The maximum range for all parameters is from -50 through
0 to +50, although this range is more limited with some
voices. An exclamation mark (!) will appear next to the
parameter when the maximum or minimum allowable setting
for the selected voice has been reached.
• The default values for the selected voice are produced by
settings of “0”.
• With voices like STRINGS, in which key velocity (keyboard
dynamics) controls the speed of attack, attack speed changes
in the same way even if the attack parameter is set to a minus
value.
• Since PIANO 1 and some other voices already have the
