The Envelope SUSTAIN PEDAL Parameter

This Parameter determines whether or not the Sustain Pedal of a MIDI controller will

affect the Envelope. As you can imagine, when set to

OFF, this Parameter does

nothing. When set to

ON, incoming Sustain Pedal messages affect the Envelope in

one of two ways depending on the Value of the Envelope Trigger Parameter:

If the Envelope Trigger Parameter is set to

NORMAL or RESET, when the controller’s

Sustain Pedal is depressed, the Envelope will jump to and remain in the Sustain stage

of the Envelope until either the Sustain Decay reaches 00 or the Sustain Pedal is

released.

If the Envelope Trigger Parameter is set to

FREERUN or RESET-FREERUN, when the

Sustain Pedal is depressed, the Envelope will continue through its Attack and Decay

stages and then remain in the Sustain stage of the Envelope until either the Sustain

Decay reaches 00 or the Sustain Pedal is released.

Note that if the Envelope Gate Time exceeds the duration that the Sustain Pedal is

depressed, the Gate Time Value will keep the Envelope in the Sustain stage until the

Gate Time is exhausted. Similarly, if the time that the Sustain Pedal is depressed

exceeds the Gate Time Value, the Envelope will remain in the Sustain stage until the

Sustain Pedal is released.

The Envelope LEVEL Parameter

This Parameter sets the overall output level of the Envelope. If the Envelope Level is

set to a Value of 00, the Envelope will have no output and subsequently no effect. If

the Envelope Level is set to a Value of 99, it will have the maximum effect on the

Function it modulates.

The Envelope VELOCITY MODULATION Parameter

This Parameter only exists in the Pitch Envelope and the Filter Envelope (not in the

Amplitude Envelope). In the display, it is referred to as

VEL>PLevel for the Pitch

Envelope and

VEL>FLevel for the Filter Envelope. The Envelope Velocity Modulation

Parameter determines how incoming velocity will affect the Envelope level. When set

to a Value of 99, incoming velocity will dramatically increase the Envelope’s output –

notes played hard will deliver a higher Envelope output than notes played soft.

When set to a Value of 00, incoming velocity will have no effect on the Envelope’s

output level. When set to a Value of -99, incoming velocity will have an inverse effect

on the Envelope; that is, the harder the hit, the lower the Envelope output level.

Note that if the Envelope Level Parameter is set to a Value of 99, a positive Value of

any sort for the Envelope Velocity Modulation Parameter will have no effect because

the Envelope is already set to its maximum output. To use this Parameter effectively,

lower the Envelope Level Parameter proportionate to the Envelope Velocity

Modulation Parameter so that their combined Value does not exceed 99. Combined

values above 99 will simply be treated as 99, and your dynamic range will be

reduced.
