Sustain Pedal (On or Off) Page 9
This determines whether or not the Sustain Pedal will have an effect on the envelope.
When turned on, holding down the Sustain Pedal while playing short notes is virtually
the equivalent to holding down those notes on the keyboard with some subtle but
important differences. If the Delay and Attack are set to 0 and either the Decay is 0 or
the Sustain is 99, the envelope will immediately jump to the sustain decay stage (if
not already there) when the note is released and the sustain pedal is held down. If a
long attack is set, and the envelope does not reach the end of the attack segment
when the note is released, it will be skipped and the envelope will jump immediately
to the release segment. If a long delay is set, and the envelope has not reached the
attack segment before the note is released, the envelope will remain at 0. However, if
Freerun is turned on, the envelope will continue through the delay, attack, decay and
sustain segments and remain at the sustain decay segment. This is exactly the same
as holding down the note on the keyboard. When the Sustain Pedal parameter is
turned off, the Sustain Pedal will have no effect on the envelope.
Level (00 to 99) Page 10
This is the overall output level of the envelope. If this is set to 00, the Pitch Envelope
will have no output and will have no effect, while at 99 it will have a maximum effect
on whatever it is being routed to.
TIP:
When selecting Pitch Envelope Level as a modulation destination, set the Pitch
Envelope level to 00 if the Modulation Level is above 0 (or, set the Pitch Envelope
level to 99 if the Modulation Amount is below 0).
Velocity Modulation (00 to 99) Page 11
This determines how keyboard dynamics will affect the envelope level. When set to
99, note velocity controls the envelope’s output; notes played hard will deliver a
higher envelope output than notes played soft. When set to 0, note velocity will have
no effect on the envelope’s output level.
