ATTACK
Determines the attack time of the sound. For example, you can
adjust a strings voice so that the sound gradually swells in
volume by setting a slow attack time — simply turn the
[ATTACK] knob to the right. For a more percussive attack, turn
the knob to the left.
RELEASE
Determines the release time of the sound. Turning the knob to
the right sets a long release time and (depending on the
selected voice) lets the sound sustain after the key is released.
To produce a sharp release, in which the sound abruptly cuts
off, set a short release time.
n When the Drum voice is selected, this is used as Decay time.
