Pitch EG Curve
When you change the curvature, the EG times remain the same.
However, greater curvature will tend to sound faster, because the
value changes more quickly at the beginning.
Different curve settings for up and down
You may find that different amounts of curvature are suitable for
segments which go up and segments which go down.
For instance, a curve of 3 is a good default setting for upward
segments, such as Attack. On the other hand, a curve of 6 or more
is good for downward segments, such as Decay and Release.
Attack [0L (Linear), 1...9, 10E (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Attack segment - the transition from
the Start level to the Attack level.
Dcy/Brk (Decay) [0L (Linear), 1...9, 10E (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Decay segment - the transition from
the Attack level to the Break level.
Slope [0L (Linear), 1...9, 10E (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Slope segment - the transition from
the Break level to the Sustain level (which for the Pitch EG is
always 0).
Release [0L (Linear), 1...9, 10E (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Release segment - the transition from
the Sustain level to the Release level.
Level
Each of the four levels can be either positive or negative.
Positive levels will make the pitch (or other AMS destination) go
up from its programmed value; negative levels will make it go
down.
Note that, unlike the Filter and Amp EGs, the Pitch EG’s Sustain
Level is always 0.
Start [–99...+99]
This sets the initial level at note-on.
Attack [–99...+99]
This sets the level at the end of the Attack time.
Dcy/Brk (Break) [–99...+99]
Break, short for Break Point, sets the level at the end of the Decay
time.
Release [–99...+99]
This sets the level at the end of the Release time.
5–2: L-MOD (Level Modulation)
These settings let you use two different AMS sources to control
the Level parameters of the EG. For each of the two AMS sources,
the Start, Attack, Decay, and Break levels each have their own
modulation intensities.
By using different settings for each of the three levels, you can
cause both subtle and dramatic changes to the EG shape, as shown
below.
Note: Once the EG has started a segment between two points, that
segment can no longer be modulated. This includes both the time
of the segment, and the level reached at the end of the segment.
For instance, if the EG is in the middle of the Decay time, you can
no longer modulate either the Decay time or the Break level.
This also means that modulating the Start level, Attack level, or
Attack time will not affect notes that are already sounding, unless
the EG is then re-started via EG Reset.
Pitch EG Level Modulation
AMS1
AMS1 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects the first AMS source to control the EG’s Level
parameters.
For a list of AMS sources, please see “AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List” on page 292.
Start [–99...+99]
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modulation for
the Start level.
For example, if you set the AMS1 source to Velocity and set St to
+99, the Start level will increase as you play harder. If you instead
set St to –99, the Start level will decrease as you play harder.
Attack [–99...+99]
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modulation for
the Attack level.
Break [–99...+99]
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modulation for
the Break level.
