L0-L4 (Key on Levels 0...63): These determine
the levels to which the operator EG will move

while a key is being pressed.

LP (Segment Loop Point S1...S4): This specifies
the segment from which the EG will continue
looping if a key remains-depressed after the EG

has arrived at level L4.

Rl, R2 (KeyOff Rates 0...63): These determine
the speed with which the operator EG will
change levels after a key is released.

L1, L2 (KeyOff Levels 0...63): These determine
the levels to which the operator EG will change

after a key is released.

The meaning of these EG parameters is explained in
the previous section 3.1 Operator EG.

In this AFM operator EG (All) display, the

OPERATOR SELECT buttons cannot be used to select
operators.

AFM ELEMENT DATA

4. (F1) AFM operator output (Each)

JUMP #241

Summary: Set output level and scaling for a single

operator while viewing a graphic display of the

scaling.

Procedure:

From: AFM Element job directory (JUMP #230)

Select: job 04:0utput and press (JUMP #241)

F1 (Each)

Specify: the output level and scaling for the

selected operator

Output Level: This sets the output level of each

operator. The output level of a carrier operator

will affect the volume, and the output level of a

modulator operator will affect the tone. Remem-
ber that the input levels of each operator input

In1 and In2 can also be adjusted as explained in

1. ( F 3 ) Algorithm (Input level) (JUMP #233).

Even if the output level of an operator is raised,
it will have no effect on another operator to
which it is connected if the corresponding input
level of the operator is set at 0.

Offset (-127... +127) determines the output
level adjustment for each of the four points
specified by Note.
The four note settings must be in ascending
order. It is not possible to set a break point
to a note lower or higher than the note set-
tings of the neighboring break points.

The following diagram shows how the oper-

Offset (-127...#127) of each Break Point deter-
mine how the output level of each operator will

vary across the keyboard. When the cursor is

located at note, you can press F7 (Kbd) and
press a key to enter the new note setting.

ator output level would be adjusted across the

keyboard for the settings shown in the above
LCD.

Break Point: The operator output level can be

made to vary depending on the note that is
played. On most acoustic instruments, notes

differ in volume and tone depending on the range
in which they are played. For example the low

notes of a piano are more tonally complex and

louder than the high notes.

Use the four break points to specify how the

operator output level will be adjusted across the

keyboard.

Each offset is added to the overall operator out-
put level of 80. For example the offset at break
point 1 (El) is -4, so the resulting operator out-
put level at El is 76. The resulting operator out-
put level is limited to the range of 0... 127.
