Whenon,thisparametercausesallnotesinthelayertosustainthroughtheentirefirstattack

Hold Until Decay (TilDec)
Whenon,thisparametercausesallnotesinthelayertosustainthroughallthreeattack
segmentsintheiramplitudeenvelopesevenifthenoteshavebeenreleased.Loopedamplitude
envelopeswillnotloop,however,ifthenotesarereleasedbeforereachingtheendofthefinal
attacksegment.Noteswill
gointotheirnormalreleasesiftheyarereleasedaftertheenvelope
haslooped.WhensettoOff,noteswillreleaseassoonasaNoteOffmessageisgenerated.
