EG Function
EG Function
The EG function sets up the sample’s envelope generators (EGs). The envelope genera-
tors determine how sound develops over time, both while the note is held and after it is
released. The A3000 offers three different EGs: an amplitude EG, a filter EG, and a pitch
EG.
FYI
The COMMAND key gives you rapid access to a number of helpful commands while you
are working with this function. For example, you can use the COMMAND key when you
want to save your edit results to disk, or when you want to cancel your new changes and
restore the previously saved data. (☞147)

This page sets up the AEG (amplitude envelope generator). The AEG determines how
the sound level (amplitude) develops over time. Development begins at Note On, and
terminates when the sound dies out. The envelope is defined by four settings, as illus-
trated below.
