The Amplitude Envelope Function [110 AMP

ENVELOPE]

The Amplitude Envelope (button [110]) determines the volume of the

note over time. For example, it determines whether the note fades in

slowly or starts abruptly. Unlike the Pitch and Filter Envelopes, the Amp

Envelope is always fully active. See below for the envelope parameters.

Setting Envelope Parameters

The following parameters apply to the Pitch, Filter and Amplitude

Envelopes.

Setting the Envelope Attack Time

Buttons:

[EDIT] [90]-[110]

Page:

Parameter:

Attack (00 to 99)

This sets the amount of time the envelope will take to reach its

maximum level. The higher the value, the slower the attack.

Setting the Envelope Decay Time

Buttons:

[EDIT] [90]-[110]

Page:

Parameter:

Decay (00 to 99)

This sets the amount of time the envelope takes from the end of the

Attack stage to reach the Sustain level. The higher the value, the longer it

will take.

Setting the Envelope Sustain Level

Buttons:

[EDIT] [90]-[110]

Page:

Parameter:

Sustain (00 to 99)

This sets the level that the envelope will reach after the Decay time.

Setting the Envelope Release Time

Buttons:

[EDIT] [90]-[110]

Page:

Parameter:

Release (00 to 99, HOLD - Pitch Envelope only)

TIP: Some Programs may leave the Amp

Envelope fully open, and provide attack and

decay using the Filter Envelope.
