6.2.4.4 Gate < 000-127 >
The gate time, i.e. the impulse length of the trigger pulse for both the membrane
circuitries M1 and M2 can be adjusted from 0.1ms to 15ms.
This parameter is very influential on the sound of the attack and the decaying tone. The
shorter the gate time, the higher the frequencies contained in the spectrum of the
attack, though less energy is put into membrane circuitries causing a weaker and
shorter envelope.

6.2.5.1 E1Amt = Envelope 1 Amount < 000-127 >
For a simple pitch envelope that changes the pitch over time. This parameter controls
the amount of this software-driven pitch envelope for F-OSC 1.
6.2.5.2 MtNz2 = Metal Noise 2 < 000-127 >
Metallic noise 2 is the second of the two noise generators. The parameter changes the
noise to a metallic noise which consists of periodic asyncronous bit patterns.
With <oFF> the noise generator is turned off, <noi> yields a static random noise
(white noise).
On values above that <2-127> a complex signal formed from digital multitones and bit
patterns is produced. Each value represents a unique sound pattern which doesn't
change smoothly across the range but jumps to various sounds one by one.
6.2.5.3 E2Amt = Envelope 2 Amount < 000-127 >
For a simple pitch envelope that changes the pitch over time. This parameter controls
the amount of this software-driven pitch envelope for F-OSC 2.
