Operator’s output attenuation 0...127.
0 = no attenuation (max output level)
…
127 = max attenuation (operator silent)
Varying output level of a carrier varies the channel volume, and possibly timbre, if there
are multiple carriers. Varying output level of a modulator varies the sound timbre.
5.6 Register addresses 80H...FFH
Rest of the register groups (4...7) contain envelope related settings. All settings are
operator specific. The addressing scheme is described in chapter 4.2.

KSE2...KSE0
Key scaler for envelope, 0...7. Scales all envelope times (attack,
decay, release) by shortening times towards higher notes.
0 = light scaling (times are slightly shorter at higher notes)
…
7 = heavy scaling (times are much shorter at higher notes)
AR4...AR0
Attack rate 0...31.
0 = very slow (very long attack time)
…
31 = very fast (attack time about zero)
