D Sustain
The Sustain parameter determines the value the envelope should drop back to af-
ter the Decay. If you set Sustain to full level however, the Decay setting doesn’t
matter since the value will never decrease.
A combination of Decay and Sustain can be used for creating envelopes that rise
up to the maximum value, then gradually decrease to, and stay on a level some-
where in-between zero and maximum.
D Release
This works just like the Decay parameter, with the exception that it determines the
time it takes for the value to fall back to zero after the key is released.
D Delay
This is used for setting a delay between when a note is played and when the effect
of the envelope starts. That is, the sound will start unmodulated, and the envelope
will kick in after you have kept the key(s) pressed down for a while. Turn the knob
to the right to increase the delay time. If the knob is set all the way to the left, there
will be no delay.
D Key To Decay
By using this, you can cause the value of the Decay parameter (see above) to be
offset depending on where on your keyboard you play. If you turn the knob to the
right the decay value will be raised the higher up you play, and turning the knob to
the left will lower the decay value the higher up you play. With the knob in the cen-
ter position, this parameter is deactivated.
Destinations
The following are the available Mod Envelope destinations:
D Pitch
This will make the envelope modulate the pitch, as set in the Pitch section (see
page 279). Turn the knob to the right to raise the pitch and to the left to lower the
pitch. In the middle position, pitch will not be affected by the envelope.
D Filter
This will make the envelope modulate the cutoff frequency of the Filter (see page
279). Turn the knob to the right to increase the frequency and to the left to lower
the frequency. In the middle position, the envelope will have no effect on the cutoff
frequency.
The Amplitude Envelope
The Amplitude Envelope parameters let you control how the volume of a sound should
change over time - from the moment a note is struck to the moment it is released
again.
Parameters
Most of the Amplitude Envelope parameters are identical to those of the Modulation
Envelope. So for a detailed description of the following parameters, please refer to the
modulation envelope section on page 280:
• Attack
• Hold
• Decay
• Sustain
• Release
• Delay
• Key To Decay
The following are the parameters that are unique for the Amp Envelope section:
D Level
This knob sets the level of the zone. Turn it to the right to raise the level.
D Spread and Pan modes
These two parameters are used for controlling the stereo (pan) position of the
sound. The Spread knob determines the sound’s width in the stereo image (how
far left – right the notes will be spread out). If this is set to “0”, no spread will take
place. The Mode selector switch is used for choosing which type of spread you
want to apply:
