FILTER EG Settings
The FILTER EG (Envelope Generator) determines the transition in timbre while the key is being
held down. There are five handles, each controlling a different stage in the envelope. The first
handle (furthest to the left) controls the “Hold Time/Level.” The second controls the “Attack Time/
Level.” The third controls the “Decay 1 Time/Level.” The fourth controls the “Decay 2 Time/Sustain
Level.” The last square mark (furthest to the right) controls the “Release Time/Level.” Drag the
handles vertically to adjust levels, and horizontally to adjust the transition times.
n To set these values directly, select the “FILTER EG” tab of the “EL DETAIL” dialog.
AMPLITUDE EG Settings
Controls the transition in volume from the moment a Note On message is received (attack) to the
point at which the sound stops (release). Drag the leftmost up or down to set the velocity of the
attack time. Drag the second left or right to set the envelope attack time. Dragging the third and
fourth left or right controls the way the sound is sustained (Decay Time 1 & 2) while the keys on
the keyboard are held down, and dragging them up or down control the Decay 1 Level and Sustain
Level. Dragging the last left or right controls the how long the sound is heard after receiving a
Note Off message (Release Time).
n To set these values directly, select the “AMP EG” tab of the “EL DETAIL” dialog.
