Delay Time/Direction
Delay Time=000
Direction=FORWRD
Delay Time Range: 000 to 250 msec, or KEYUP
Determines how long the voice will wait after a key is struck before playing. A delay of up to 250
milliseconds is possible.
When Delay Time=KEYUP, the voice will wait until the key is released before it plays.
Direction Range: FORWRD or BACKWD
This parameter determines the direction a wave will play. When Direction=BACKWD, looped
sounds will play from the end of the sample to the start point, and will not loop.

Mod Source Mod Amount
Start Index Range: 00 to 99
This parameter is an alternate wave start point that can be dynamically switched to (controlled by
the Mod Source and Amount parameters). When START=00, the whole wave will play. As the
start point is adjusted upwards, it will begin playing further into the wave. You can use this, for
example, to skip the attack and play only the loop portion of (looped) sustaining sounds.
A note about TransWaves
Each TransWave is actually composed of many different single-cycle waveforms, which progress
from one timbre to another, occupying adjacent areas of memory. Movement within the sound is
created by playing different waveforms in succession; that is, by modulating the wavetable.
When Wave=TRANSWAVE on the previous page, the Start Index parameter controls where
within the wavetable the voice-loop will begin playing when the key is struck. The illustration
below shows a typical wave of this category, with the Start Index set in the middle range, near 50.
