The EX-800 has nine Digital Envelope Generators (DEGs).
8 of the DEGs (DEG 1 or DEG 1 & 2) control the volumes of
the 8 individual DCOs, providing individual articulation (at
tack, decay, etc.) for each note. The remaining DEG (DEG
3) dynamically changes the VCF Cutoff and Noise level.

DEG 3 (FOR VCF & NOISE)
All Digital Envelope Generators use an advanced 6 stage de
sign. In addition to the normal Attack, Decay, Sustain and
Release functions, they include BREAK POINT and SLOPE
functions, which control an extra envelope stage that can cre
ate either a second attack or a second decay.
NOTE:
All three DEGs have the same types ofparameters, and all
parameters have the same range (0-31).
These DEGs provide highly improved percussive and in
strumental sounds and many new special effects.
In WHOLE Mode, the 8 DEGs that provide DCO articulation
(Volume Envelopes) are all controlled by the DEG 1
parameters (# s - SS), so that all notes are articulated in
a similar way. In this mode the DEG 2 parameters have no
effect (and appear blank if you try to access them).
In DOUBLE Mode, two DCOs and two DEGs are assigned
to each note. Each DEG (and DCO) may be programmed
separately, creating a wide range of complex, dynamic
sounds. DCO 1 is controlled by DEG 1 (# S I- SS ) and DCO
2 is controlled separately by DEG 2 (# S I - SS). (See sec
tion on DCO MODE for further information).
PARAMETER NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
T 7 | • [ 5 : I • I "I i I ATTACK (Rate)
Controls how long it takes for the envelope contour
to rise from zero to its maximum level after the key
is depressed.
NOTE:
The maximum envelope level can correspond to the maxi
mum DCO or Noise volume (as set by LEVEL parameters
# !'!, c'~t, 3:1). It can also correspond to the highest (or
VCF Cutoff Frequency (as set by POLARITY and EG
INT #'-!S.
