9–1: ENVELOPE
These parameters let you create time-varying changes in the
volume of oscillators.
OSC (Oscillator Select) [1, 2]
Select the oscillator (1 or 2) that you want to edit.
Note: Oscillator 2 can be selected if Oscillator Mode is set to
Double.
Reset AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source to reset the EG to the start point. For
instance, you can use a tempo-synced LFO to trigger the EG in a
repeating rhythm. This reset is in addition to the initial note-on,
which always causes the EG to start.
For a list of AMS sources, please see “AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List” on page 292.
Note: Once the Amp EG is in its Release segment, it cannot be
reset. (Otherwise, the sound might keep playing forever!)
Threshold [–99...+99]
This sets the AMS level which will trigger the EG reset.
Among other things, you can use this to adjust the exact point in an
LFO’s phase where the EG will be reset, effectively controlling its
“groove” against other rhythmic effects. When the threshold is
positive, the EG triggers when passing through the threshold
moving upwards. When the threshold is negative, the EG triggers
when passing through the threshold moving downwards.
Note: With some LFO shapes, and with faster LFO speeds, the
LFO may not always reach the extreme values of +99 or –99. In
this case, setting the Threshold to these values may cause
inconsistent behavior, or may mean that the EG doesn’t reset at all.
If this happens, reduce the Threshold until the EG triggers
consistently.
TIME/CURVE/LEVEL
These parameters specify how the amp 1 EG will change over
time.
Amp EG
Level
Start [00...99]
This sets the initial volume level at note-on.
Attack [00...99]
This sets the level at the end of the Attack time.
Dcy/Brk (Break) [00...99]
Break, short for the Break Point, sets the level at the end of the
Decay time.
Slp/Sus (Sustain) [00...99]
This sets the level at the end of the Slope time. Once it reaches the
Sustain level, the EG will stay there until note-off (unless it is reset
via AMS).
Time
Higher values mean longer times, as shown below.
Attack [00...99]
This sets how long the EG takes to move from the Start level to the
Attack level.
For the fastest possible attack time, you can set the Start level to
+99; in this case, the EG will start instantaneously at its maximum
value.
Dcy/Brk (Decay) [00...99]
This sets the time it takes to move from the Attack level to the
Break level.
Slp/Sus (Slope) [00...99]
This sets how long the EG takes to move from the Break level to
the Sustain level. Once it reaches the Sustain level, the EG will
stay there until note-off (unless it is reset via AMS).
Release [00...99]
This sets how long it takes the EG to move from the Sustain level
to silence.
