RELEASE
This defines the time it will take the envelope to return to zero from whatever level it has attained
when the key is released.

Note that the Envelope 3 time levels are shorter. The envelope time for a value of 16 is identical
to the 01 value in the chart (i.e. value 16 = .01 sec). All values higher than 16 follow the chart in
ascending order based on this interval. Values less than 16 can be used to eliminate the “click”
attack on waves and still give the appearance of an instant attack.

LevV/AtckV/VelCurv
LevV Range: 00 to 99
The Velocity Level parameter will lower all envelope settings with a softer keystrike. This means
that the settings you assign to PEAK, BREAK, and SUSTAIN are the maximum levels that will be
reached with the hardest keystrike. The amount of “LevV” will determine how much those
levels will be reduced as you play softer. With this parameter you can have continuous dynamic
control over the three levels by varying how hard you play. Changing the Velocity Curve
(VelCurv) gives you further control over the velocity response of the envelope.
AtckV Range: 00 to 99
Velocity Attack makes the envelope ATTACK time respond to keyboard velocity. When the
value of “AtckV” is increased, a harder keystrike will result in faster attack. Note that this
parameter will have no effect if the envelope ATTACK Time=00.
VelCurv Range: QUIKRISE, CONVEX, LINEAR, and CONCAVE
This selects which of the four available velocity response curves the envelope will use if the
velocity level control (LevV above) is set to some value other than zero.
