The Envelope TRIGGER Parameter

This Parameter is found in each of the three Envelopes and drastically affects the

Envelopes’ behavior. There are four possible Values for the Envelope Trigger

Parameter:

NORMAL With this Value, the Envelope will always start at its

current level (i.e., if another note had been played to

previously initiate the Envelope’s cycle, playing another

note would not interrupt the cycle). With a Value of

NORMAL, the Envelope will immediately advance to the

Release stage when either the Envelope Gate Time is

exhausted or the Sustain Pedal is released (whichever

comes last).

FREERUN With this Value, the Envelope will move through its

Delay, Attack and Decay stages and then remain in its

Sustain stage until the Envelope Gate Time becomes

exhausted or the Sustain Pedal is released. If the

Envelope Gate Time becomes exhausted or the Sustain

Pedal is released somewhere in the middle of the Attack

or Decay stage, the Envelope will continue through the

Decay stage and then jump to the Release stage.

RESET When set to RESET, the Envelope will always start at the

beginning (hence “reset”) whenever a new note is

played, regardless of whether the Envelope has run its

course. With a Value of

RESET, like NORMAL, the Envelope

will immediately advance to the Release stage when

either the Envelope Gate Time is exhausted or the

Sustain Pedal is released (whichever comes last).

RESET-FREERUN When set to RESET-FREERUN, the Envelope will start at the

beginning whenever a new note is played

and it will

move through its Delay, Attack and Decay stages and

then remain in its Sustain stage until the Envelope Gate

Time becomes exhausted or the Sustain Pedal is

released. Like

FREERUN, if the Envelope Gate Time

becomes exhausted or the Sustain Pedal is released

somewhere in the middle of the Attack or Decay stage,

the Envelope will continue through the Decay stage and

then jump to the Release stage.

The Envelope DELAY Parameter

This Parameter determines the amount of time that the Envelope will

wait before

doing anything. It is very useful for affecting certain Parameters of a Sound

sometime after the Sound starts. When the Delay is set to 00, the envelope begins its

Attack stage immediately, without any Delay. If you repeatedly play a note while

increasing the Envelope Delay Value, you will notice that the time between

triggering the note and the time that you hear the effect of the Envelope gets

progressively longer as the Envelope Delay Value is increased.

If the Delay is set above 99, the display will read

HOLD. This indicates that the Delay

stage of the Envelope will wait until either the Envelope Gate Time is exhausted or

1 2 ... 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 ... 174 175
