RETRIG Page
The parameters of the
RETRIG page are identical to those of the TRIG page. RETRIG,
however, adds an additional parameter called
STAGE.
When re-triggering an envelope, you have the added ability to determine at what
stage in the envelope’s cycle where re-triggering takes place. By contrast, the first
trigger that an envelope receives (
TRIG parameters) always starts at the DELAY stage.
You use soft knob
5 to select the desired stage. When re-triggered, the envelope will
start at the beginning of the selected stage:
DEL DELAY stage
ATK ATTACK stage
D1 D1TIME (DECAY 1) stage
D2 D2TIME (DECAY 2) stage
SUS SUSTAIN level; note that sustain will be by-passed if the key or sustain
pedal is not down.
R1 R1TIME (RELEASE 1) stage
