Chapter 2 Trying It Out
Chapter 2
Using an Envelope Generator
We will now adjust the amplitude EG to lengthen the release rate of the ohhhh sample.
The “release” determines how long the sample sound lingers after you stop playing the
key at the keyboard.
Procedure
1.
Select EDIT mode, and then select the EG (envelope generator) function.
2.
Press Knob 1, and then turn Knob 2 or Knob 3 to select the Voice OH sample
for editing. Then press Knob 1 again.
3.
Turn Knob 1 to select the AEG (amplitude envelope generator) screen. Then
turn Knob 5 to set the RelRate value to 40.
▼The screen should now look like this.
4.
Now play a key between C4 and B4 at your keyboard.
Notice how the sound fades out slowly when you release the key.
Memo
• The AEG determines how the sample’s amplitude (sound level) develops over time. In addition to
the release-rate value, you can also set an attack rate and a sustain level. The attack rate value
determines how rapidly the sound rises when the key is first hit, while the sustain level deter-
mines how the sound continues while the key is held down.
• The A3000 also provides a filter EG (“FEG”) and pitch EG (“PEG”). You use these features to
select how filtering and pitch develop over time while the key is held down.
