chorus for each partial.

Explanation
Envelope Mode
NO-SUS, SUSTAIN
If this is set to SUSTAIN, the Envelope
Level 3 is held from when the envelope
Time 3 has elapsed until note-off.
When note-off occurs, the envelope
transitions from the current value to the
Time 4 segment (release segment).
If this is set to NO-SUS, the envelope
transitions to the release segment after
passing Time 3 regardless of the note-off
timing, operating according to the times
specified by the envelope.
Damper Free Note
OFF, 1–127
For notes above the specified note
number, the Envelope Mode operates as
NO-SUS.
Use this to simulate the undamped
region of a piano sound.
Receive Bender
OFF, ON
Specifies for each partial whether MIDI
pitch bend messages are received (ON) or
not received (OFF).
Receive
Expression
OFF, ON
Specifies for each partial whether MIDI
expression messages are received (ON) or
not received (OFF).
Receive Hold-1
OFF, ON
Specifies for each partial whether MIDI
hold 1 messages are received (ON) or not
received (OFF).
Redamper Switch
OFF, ON
If Redamper Switch is ON, you can
perform the Half Damper operations used
for piano sounds.
However, the following conditions must
be satisfied in order to use this operation.
5
Envelope Mode is NO-SUS
5
Amp Envelope’s Level 1 and2 are 1 or greater
5
Amp Envelope’s Times are Time 3 > Time4
Soft EQ Sens
0–100
Increases the proportion by which the
EQ’s HighGain is lowered by the amount
of pedal.
With a setting of 0, this has no effect.
MATRIX CONTROL
Ordinarily, if you wanted to change partial parameters using an
external MIDI device, you would need to send System Exclusive
messages-MIDI messages designed exclusively for the AX-Edge.
However, System Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and
the amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get quite large.
For that reason, a number of the more typical of the AX-Edge’s
partial parameters have been designed so they accept the use of
Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the purpose of making
changes in their values. This provides you with a variety of means
of changing the way tones are played. For example, you can use the
Modulation Bar to change the LFO cycle rate, or use the keyboard’s
touch to open and close a filter.
The function which allows you use MIDI messages to make these
changes in realtime to the partial parameters is called the
“Matrix
Control.”
Up to four Matrix Controls can be used in a single tone.
To use Matrix Control, you specify which MIDI message (Source)
controls which parameter (Destination) and how deeply (Sens:
sensitivity).

Velocity and Keyfollow correspond to Note messages.

Although there are no MIDI messages for LFO 1 through TVA Envelope,
they can be used as Matrix Control. In this case, you can change the partial
settings in realtime by playing tones.
*
If you want to use common controllers for the entire AX-Edge, select
“SYS-
CTRL1”
–”SYS-CTRL4.” MIDI messages used as System Control 1–4 are set
with the SysCtrlSrc1–4 (p. 38).

“MIDI Implementation (English)”
(PDF).
NOTE
5
There are parameters that determine whether or not Pitch
Bend, Controller Number 11 (Expression) and Controller
Number 64 (Hold 1) are received (p. 29). When these
settings are “ON,” and the MIDI messages are received, then
when any change is made in the settings of the desired
parameter, the Pitch Bend, Expression, and Hold 1 settings
also change simultaneously. If you want to change the
targeted parameters only, then set these to “OFF.”
5
There are parameters that let you specify whether specific
MIDI messages will be received for each part in a studio
set (p. 11). When a tone with Matrix Control settings is
assigned to a part, confirm that any MIDI messages used for
the Matrix Control will be received. If the AX-Edge is set up
such that reception of MIDI messages is disabled, then the
Matrix Control will not function.
