SUSTAIN
Sustain causes a sound to slowly fade away after the keys are released. Without sustain, the sound of the
key stops immediately upon release. The Sustain feature covers Bass Sustain, String/Vocal Sustain (lower
keyboard), String/Vocal Sustain (upper keyboard), Lower Flute Sustain, and Upper Flute Sustain. The
orange Pedal Genius tab also has Sustain capabilities.
Sustain levels are preset from Lowrey and do not need to be changed. The sustain length is adjustable and
has a numeric value from 1 (no sustain) to 100 (maximum sustain). Sustain settings can be changed using
the following methods.
