VOICE EDIT MODE
Loop mode. This parameter will appear on the
display only if a "...loop" mode was selected in
If "normal" looping is selected, the sample
will play back continuously in the specified
direction. If "alter" looping is selected, the
sample will play back alternately forward and
backward.
For a sample of "abc", the loop type and
mode settings would produce the following
results:
Forward only:
Backward only:
Forward loop (normal):
Backward loop (normal):
Forward loop (alter):
Backward loop (alter):
abc
cba
abcabcabca...
cbacbacbac...
abccbaabccba...
cbaabccbaabc...
To rename the selected sample press F6
(Name). For details, refer to How to enter char-
acter data, page 30.
To return to Sample assign to change the key
assignments for the currently selected sample,
press F7 (Asgn). For details refer to the preced-
ing section, Sample assign.
When you finish editing sample data, press EXIT
to return to the Waveform assign display.
Remark: Some samples loaded from external
devices may produce noise when played using
the SY99. Try changing the parameter settings
of such samples using the external devices.
AWM ELEMENT DATA
3. AWM EG
JUMP #258
Summary: This determines how the volume of an
AWM element will change over time.
Procedure:
From: AWM Element job directory (JUMP #256)
Select: job 03:EG. (JUMP #258)
Specify: volume EG parameters
EG Mode (Mode = hold, attack): This setting
determines whether the first segment of the
AWM EG will begin from level 0 (attack mode)
or from maximum level (hold mode).
The AWM EG is graphically displayed.
This indicates the time range of the EG graphic
display; "xl" displays the shortest time with
the greatest detail. To change the time range,
press F1-F6 (xl, x2, x5, x10, x20, x50).
This indicates the segment from which the EG is
displayed. To begin the graphic display from a
different segment, press F7 or F8 to select
Segl...Seg4 or Rel1.
Hold Time or Rate 1 (HT=63...0 or Rl=0...63):
If the EG Mode is set to "hold" this will deter-
mine the Hold Time for which the level of the
waveform is held at maximum. A setting of
HT=63 results in the longest time. If the EG
Mode is set to "attack" this will determine Rate
1 of the EG. A R1 setting of 63 results in the
fastest attack.
Keyon Rate 2-4, Release Rate (R2-R4 = 0...63,
RR = 0...63): These settings determine the
speed of the operator EG. Higher values result
in faster change.
Rate Scaling (RS = -7...+7): Rate Scaling
allows the operator EG rates to be increased or
decreased depending on the key that is played.
For positive settings the EG rates will increase
as you play higher notes, resulting in shorter
envelopes. For negative settings the EG rates
will decrease as you play higher notes, resulting
in longer envelopes.
Keyon Levels 2-3 (L2-L3 = 0...63): These
determine the levels of the AWM EG. There is
no L1 setting since the AWM EG either begins
from 0 and moves toward maximum level (in
attack mode), or begins, at maximum level and
stays there until the hold time has elapsed (hold
mode). Nor is there a L4 setting since the level
of the AWM EG immediately begins to move
toward 0 after reaching L3. If you want the
sound to continue sustaining as long as you
