EG Operation in "MULTCH" Mode
The envelope curve which has been set is generated each time you
blow into the mouthpiece or each time the pitch is changed by touch
ing another note key or touching the same note key again. Thus, this
mode is appropriate for playing non-legato or staccato, and for non-
sustained curves.
Ex.:
However, be careful of the following when the envelope curve is sus
tained or the release time is long:
Ex.:
Staccato
"Mi"
Envelope
Breath
inhale exhale inhale exhale inhale exhale
Or

Key = "Do"
"Re" "Mi"
The sound is staccato if you
change pitches even while
blowing continuously
into the mouthpiece.
f_ Release will only be
applied to this note.

Click exhaler
Breath ->
Key = "Do"
"Re" "Ml"
Thus, the release time for each note is cancelled out and becomes
attack time, producing an unnatural clicking sound. If "Do", "Re"
and "Mi" are played as in the example, the set release time will only
be applied to the final "Mi". The clicking sound can be suppressed by
changing
the values of the sustain level and attack time.
Ex.:
If Ihe attack time is short and the sustain level is high, there well be no
clicking sound. There are limits, however, so it is best only to use
"MULTCH" mode for non-sustained percussive sounds.
