TS-10 Musician’s Manual Section 9 — Program Parameters

Press the Env 3 button again. This displays the final sub-page for ENV 3:
MODE (ENV 1 and ENV 2) Range: NORMAL, FINISH, or REPEAT
• NORMAL — The envelope plays through normally.
• 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 3 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.
• REPEAT — In this mode, at the end of the DECAY3 stage, instead of sustaining, the envelope
goes immediately back to the beginning of the envelope and repeats. When the key is
released, the envelope stops repeating, and moves into the release stage. This type of
envelope can be used to create complex LFO-type effects. When ENV3 is set to
MODE=REPEAT, each time Envelope 3 restarts it will restart the Wave from its SAMPLE-
START-OFFSET value.

Voice Triggering/Stealing Notes
Since Env 3 controls the volume of the voice, there are a number of special considerations to be
aware of when using the different envelope modes:
• In NORMAL mode, if you set a delay on the voice, and you release the key before the
designated delay time elapses, the voice will not sound.
• In FINISH mode, if you set a delay on the voice and you release the key before the designated
delay time elapses, the note will sound anyway, and then envelope will run through its full
cycle. The envelope finishes what you set it up to do.
• In REPEAT mode, the envelope will repeatedly cycle through the PEAK and BREAK 1 and 2
LEVELS, using the ATTACK and all three DECAY times, for as long as the key is held down.
When envelope gets to the SUSTAIN level, it goes back to the INITIAL level. The TS-10
restarts the wave at its SAMPLE-START-OFFSET every time the envelope repeats.
In order to maximize the use of the TS-10’s 32 voices, and to manage the “voice stealing” it is
sometimes useful to understand when a given voice will be assigned and when it will be
released, or “put back” into the pool for use by other sounds. This depends on a combination of
envelope mode and the wave type.
