Amp Bank
In the Amp bank you control the volume of the individual voices within a drum
sound.
Gate Time/Release Time
Amp Bank
Gate Time
Determines the amount of time the envelope stays at full level before entering the
release stage.
Range: 00 to 99
»
Note: This parameter pertains to FINISH mode only.
Release Time
In NORMAL mode, this defines the time it will take the envelope to return to zero
after the key has been released. When in FINISH mode, this controls the amount
of time it takes for a voice to return to zero after the Gate Time.
Range: 00 to 99
LevV/Mode
Amp Bank
LevV
Velocity Level Control — The Velocity level parameter will lower the volume
with a softer keystrike. This means that the settings you assign to Voice Volume
is the maximum level, the level that will be reached with the hardest keystrike.
The amount of "LevV" will determine how much that level will be reduced as you
play softer. With this parameter you can have continuous dynamic control over
the volume by varying how hard you play. Changing the Velocity Curve
(VelCurv) gives you further control over the velocity response of the envelope.
Range: 00 to 99
Mode — (ENV 1 and ENV 2)
• NORMAL — The envelope plays through normally, as shown in the diagram
on the following page.
• FINISH — The envelope runs its full cycle, ignoring the key-up event The
envelope waits to enter the release stage until the Gate Time is finished, instead
of stopping as soon as the key is released. This is good for percussive-type
sounds where you want the envelope to be the same for every note, no matter
how long the key is held down.
