Velocity Level Control — The Velocity level parameter will lower all envelope
settings with a softer keystrike. This means that the settings you assign to
INITIAL, PEAK, BREAK, and SUSTAIN are maximum levels, the 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 four levels 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
Velocity Attack Control — 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
"AtckV=00."
Range: 00 to 99
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.
Available values are: QUHCRISE, CONVEX, LINEAR, and CONCAVE.

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 —finishes playing through all its
stages — ignoring the key-up event. The envelope spends no time at the
sustain stage. As soon as DECAY 2 is finished, instead of stopping at the
sustain stage, the envelope immediately goes into the release stage. 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.
