ELEMENT ENVELOPE

RELEASE RATE
LEVEL SCALING
• Level Scaling LCD Graphic
A level setting of "0" produces the lowest de-
cay level, while a setting of "99" produces the
highest level.
The decay 2 level parameter also sets the hold
level at which the note is sustained until
released.
Summary: Sets the release rate of the amplitude
envelope for the current element.
Settings: 0... 99
Procedure: Use the [ ] cursor key to move the cur-
sor to the lower display line. Use the [-1/NO]
and [+1/YES] keys to set the release rate.
Details: Refer to the INITIAL LEVEL function for a
complete envelope diagram.
A release rate setting of "0" produces the
slowest release, and a setting of "99" produces
the fastest release.
Please note that the release note may be
"biased" by the ENVELOPE Release Rate
parameter in the VOICE COMMON edit mode.
Summary: Determines how the level of the current
element changes across the range of the key-
board.
Settings: 1 ... 16
Procedure: Use the [ ] cursor key to move the cur-
sor to the lower display line. Use the [-1/NO]
and [+1/YES] keys to set the desired level
scaling curve.
Details: Most acoustic instruments do not produce
a uniform sound level throughout their pitch
range. This results in a level curve that can be
simulated by appropriate settings of the level
scaling parameter. Often, for example, the level
decreases slightly as the pitch increases.
Each of the 16 available level scaling curves is
shown in graphic form on the LCD when
selected, making it easy to locate and select the
optimum curve for each application.
