If a sound layer’s Keyboard Mode parameter (found in the Pitch Function, Page 10,)
is set to “Mono”, the Amp Envelope will only retrigger when playing legato if the
Trigger Mode is set to either “Reset” or “Reset-Freerun”.
Time Tracking (On or Off) Page 8
This determines whether or not keyboard position will affect the cycle speed of the
envelope. When turned on, playing toward the higher end of the keyboard will result
in a faster envelope cycle; playing toward the lower end of the keyboard will result
in a slower envelope cycle. However, this does not effect the attack time, but only the
decay, sustain, sustain decay and release segments. This feature will result in only a
subtle change. The envelope’s timing doubles or halves over a range of two octaves.
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 release
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 sustain decay 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 Amp 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.
When selecting Amp Envelope Level as a modulation destination, set the Amp
Envelope level to 00 if the Modulation Level is above 0 (or, set the Amp Envelope
level to 99 if the Modulation Amount is below 0).
