This function basically contains 8 “STEPs
is broken down into RATEs and LEVELS which you can
lise to create 8-step (maximum) amplitude envelopes for
‘each module (M1 ~M&),
determine how the amplitude
(remember,
amplitude
=
loudness)
of
each
module
changes
‘overtime. In other words, the sound attack and decay, and
all
the
changes
in
volume
which
the
sound
goes
through
in between.
Furthermore, as mentioned in the section on the PD Sound
Source on Page 12, if the module LINE is set to EXT
PHASE for the next LINE, ENVELOPE DCA affects the
timbre of the succeeding LINE
(For more information on ENVELOPES, RATEs, LEV-
ELs and STEPS, refer to the VZ-10M Sound Seminar on
page
92.)
SS & ED POINTS
In addition to RATE and LEVEL values, SS (Sustain, FIG.
A)
and
ED
(End,
F1G-B)
points
can
be
specified
at
any
step
in
the
DCA
envelope.
‘To enter an SS point in any step, simply press the IN-
TERNAL /SUSTAIN key when the cursor is in ether the
RATE or LEVEL position of the specified step.
‘When a sustain points inserted in the envelope, the sound
Will be sustained until a note off message is received. The
step immediately following the SS step then becomes the
“release” point (as in ADSR type amplitude envelopes).
‘*To delete a sustain point, move the cursor to the cor-
responding step and press the INTERNAL /SUSTAIN
key once again.
To enter an ED point in any step, simply press the
CARD/END key when the cursor isin either the RATE,
‘or
LEVEL
position
of
the
specified
step.
As there are up to 8 steps in the DCA envelope, the end
‘Point is intially set in step 8. The end point can be moved
to any step, however subsequent steps will automatically
bbe deleted.
To delete the end point from any step (1 through 7), sim
ply
move
the
cursor
to
the
step
and
press
the
CARD/END
‘ey once again. The end point returns to step 8 automat-
‘cally.

GRAPHIC
DISPLAY
This
function
also
contains
graphic
display
capability
that
allows
you
to eit
the DCA
envelope
while
actually
view:
ing
it “graphically.”
This
function
works
in exactly
the
same
way
as the DCO
envelope
graphic
display
(see
page

COPY
/INITIALIZE
This
function
features
COPY
and
INITIALIZE
functions
which
allow
you
to “copy”
DCA
specifications
from
one
‘module
to another,
and
to “reset”
the selected
module
to
an initialized
seting.
To COPY
the DCA
specifications
of the selected
module
to another
module,
first
select
MENU
1-08
and
the mod-
ule
containing
the detune
settings
you
want
to copy
from.
Next,
hold
down
the WRITE
key and
then
pres
the MOD-
ULE
SELECT
key corresponding
to the module
you
want
to copy
into.
When
this
procedure
is carried
out,
complete
DCA
data
(MENU
1-10,
11,12,
14, 17)is
copied
into
the
destination
module.
To INITIALIZE
the selected
module,
firs
select
MENU
1-09
and
the module
containing
the specifications
you want
to initialize.
Next,
hold
down
the WRITE
key
and
then
press
the
YES
key.
DCA
settings
for
MENU
1-09
and
MENU
1-17
(VEL
RATE)
will be reset
to initialized
values.
[Note
that
when
this function
is inialzed
the
AMP
ENVE-
LOPE
of the selected
modiule,
as wel
as enabled
steps
in
the
AMP
ENV
of MENU
1-17
are initialized
(see
