) Half Damper Time
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after
the key is released while holding down the Foot Controller
FC3 with the Half Damper Switch parameter (9) turned on.
After releasing the key, you can control the decay time of
the sound via the Foot Controller position, with the Half
Damper Time of the AEG being the maximum decay value
and the Release Time of the AEG being the minimum
decay value.
When you release the pedal, the decay time after the key is
released is equivalent to the AEG Release Time.
You can create a piano-like effect by setting the Release
Time to a small value and setting the Half Damper Time to
a large value.
The setting here is available only when the Half Damper
Switch parameter (9) is set to on and you use the optional
FC3 connected to the rear panel.
Settings: 0 – 127
! EG Time Velocity Sens
(EG Time Velocity Sensitivity)
Determines how the AEG transition time (speed) responds
to velocity, or the strength with which the note is pressed.
When this is set to a positive value, high velocities result in
a fast AEG transition speed while low velocities result in a
slow speed, as shown below. When this is set to a negative
value, high velocities result in a slow AEG transition speed
while low velocities result in a fast speed. When this is set
to 0, the amplitude transition speed does not change no
matter what the velocity.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
@ EG Time Velocity Sens Segment
(EG Time Velocity Sensitivity Segment)
Determines the part of the Amplitude EG which the EG
Time Velocity Sensitivity (!) affects.
Settings: attack, atk+dcy, decay, atk+rls, all
attack
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects the Attack Time.
atk+dcy (attack+decay)
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects the Attack Time and Decay1
Time.
decay
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects the Decay Time.
atk+rls (attack+release)
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects the Attack Time and Release
Time.
all
The EG Time Velocity Sensitivity affects all the Amplitude EG Time
parameters.
# EG Time Key Follow
Determines the degree to which the notes (specifically,
their position or octave range) affect the Amplitude EG
times of the selected Element. When this is set to a positive
value, high notes result in a fast Amplitude EG transition
speed while low notes result in a slow speed. When this is
set to a negative value, high velocities result in a slow
Amplitude EG transition speed while low notes result in a
fast speed. When this is set to 0, the Amplitude EG
transition speed does not change no matter what the
pressed note.
Settings: -200% – 0% – +200%
$ Center Key
Determines the central note for the EG Time Key Follow
(#). When the Center Key note is played, the AEG
behaves according to its actual settings.
Settings: C -2 – G8
n You can also set the Key directly from the keyboard, by
holding down the [SF6] KBD button and pressing the desired
key. For details, see page 82.
EG Time Key Follow and Center Key
Amplitude Scaling controls the amplitude output level
according to the positions of the notes on the keyboard.
You can divide the entire keyboard by four break points,
and assign different offset values of amplitude to them
respectively.
14 Break Point 1 – 4
Determines the four Break Points by specifying the note
numbers respectively.
Settings: C -2 – G8
n You can also set the Break Point directly from the Keyboard,
by holding down the [SF6] KBD button and pressing the
desired key. See “Basic Operation” on page 82.
n Break Point 1 to Break Point 4 will be automatically be
arranged in ascending order across the keyboard.
