[T1V] Velocity Attack contro
l
The second velocity-related parameter is T1V — Velocity Attack Control. As the name implies this
p
arameter makes TIME 1, the Envelope attack time, respond to keyboard velocity. When the value o
f
T1V is increased, a harder keystrike will decrease TIME 1, resulting in a faster attack.
This allows for great expression on
String sounds and the like, making
.
it
p
ossible to have a long, smooth At-
tack or a sharp, crisp Attack simply by
varying how hard you play, The
greater the value of
T1V, the more
TIME 1 will be decreased with
velocity. If TIME 1 already equals
Zero. this parameter will have no
effect.
Keyboard Scaling of Decay Times
[TK] Keyboard Decay Scaling
The final Envelope parameter is [TK] — Keyboard Decay Scaling. Raising the value of TK has the
effect of decreasing
TIME 2 and TIME 3 as you play higher up the Keyboard. Higher notes will therefore
decay faster than lower ones. The higher the value assigned to
TK, the greater the difference in Decay
Time between the highest and lowest notes. This is useful for simulating the Decay patterns of many
acoustic instruments (piano, for instance) whose lower notes tend to ring much longer than the higher
ones.
N
ote that if TIME 2 and TIME 3 both have a value of Zero, this parameter will have no effect.
