Designed after the CURVE function of the PORTA
function, SHAPE refers to the slope (acceleration
or deceleration attributes) of the envelope’s
Attack, Decay 1, Decay 2, Release 1 and Release
2 stages.
This parameter is active at all times for all time
parameters except
DELAY. To select a particular
slope for a time parameter, select the parameter
by tabbing with soft button
1, then use soft knob
5 to select the desired slope. The display will
show an envelope graphic that will depict the
slope selected for each stage.
See the
SHAPE topic on the following page for a
detailed description of the A6’s stage slopes.
➟
RELEASE 1
R1TIME
Release 1 Time
OFF ···
131.05 S
The amount of time it takes the envelope to
decrease from the
SUSTAIN LEVEL to the RELEASE
2 LEVEL
; this is the envelope stage entered when
a Note Off occurs.
➟ RELEASE 2
R2TIME
Release 2 Time
2 M ···
131.05 S
The amount of time it takes the envelope to
decrease from the
RELEASE 2 LEVEL to zero, from
2 milliseconds to 131.05 seconds. Note that
Release 2 (and also Attack, previous page)
differs from the other envelope times in that a
2ms time minimum is required.
Important Note: If
R2TIME is set to its maximum
value, the envelope will enter into “infinite
release”. This means that when the envelope
reaches this stage, it will hold at its
R2LEVL (see
page 141) indefinitely until you change to
another Program or Mix, or turn the A6 off.
To alert you that
R2TIME has been set to its
maximum, the
HOLD LED on the front panel for
that envelope will light.
