Akai EWV2000 User Manual

The EWV2000 envelope generators are equipped with two trigger
modes, "SINGLE" and "MULTCH". Usually use the "SINGLE"
mode, but for non-legato and staccato pieces try using the
"MULTCH" mode.
To select the trigger mode, press the EFFECT button. The display
will read:
EG Operation in "SINGLE" Mode
The envelope curve which has been set is generated each time you
blow into the mouthpiece when playing non-legato.
Ex.:
Non-legato
wm
inhale=
exhale **
Do Re Mi
"Do"
Envelope
Re" "Mi"
inhale exhale
Inhale exhale inhale exhale
Breath
J
An envelope curve is generated for each note.
If you blow continuously into the mouthpiece, that is if you play
legato, the envelope curve will be sustained at the sustain level from
the first sound. Because of this, for a non-sustained envelope curve,
the effect will be as if there is no envelope curve for the following
sounds and these sounds may not be produced.
Ex.:
Legato
Sustained envelope

Thus, it is difficult to play legato with a non-sustained envelope curve.
