Rate: Decay

≤

0 … 127.

Determines the rate at which the envelope level goes from maximum level to the

sustain level set by the “

Level: Sustain

” parameter. The higher the value the faster

the decay.

●

Rate: Release

≤

0 … 127.

Determines the rate at which the envelope level goes from the sustain level to “0”

when the key is released. The higher the value the faster the release.

●

Level: Attack1

≤

0 … 127.

Sets the envelope level reached by the first portion of the attack, as determined by

the “

Rate: Attack1

” parameter. The higher the value the higher the level. When set

to “

127

” the attack 1 level becomes the same as the maximum level, therefore the

second portion of the attack (“

Rate: Attack2

” parameter) will not be produced.

●

Level: Sustain

≤

0 … 127.

Sets the envelope sustain level. The higher the value the higher the level. When set

to “

127

” the sustain level becomes the same as the maximum level, therefore the decay

portion of the envelope (“

Rate: Decay

” parameter) will not be produced.
