Time Tracking (On or Off)
This determines whether or not keyboard position will affect the cycle speed of the
envelope. When turned on, playing toward the higher end of the keyboard will result
in a faster envelope cycle; playing toward the lower end of the keyboard will result in
a slower envelope cycle. However, this does not effect the attack time, but only the
decay, sustain, sustain decay and release segments. This feature will result in only a
subtle change. The envelope's timing doubles or halves over a range of two octaves.
Sustain Pedal (On or Off)
This determines whether or not the Sustain Pedal will have an effect on the envelope.
When turned on, holding down the Sustain Pedal while playing short notes is virtually
the equivalent to holding down those notes on the keyboard with some subtle but
important differences. If the Delay and Attack are set to 0 and either the Decay is 0 or
the Sustain is 99, the envelope will immediately jump to the release stage (if not
already there) when the note is released and the sustain pedal is held down. If a long
attack is set, and the envelope does not reach the end of the attack segment when
the note is released, it will be skipped and the envelope will jump immediately to the
sustain decay segment. If a long delay is set, and the envelope has not reached the
attack segment before the note is released, the envelope will remain at 0. However, if
Freerun is turned on, the envelope will continue through the delay, attack, decay and
sustain segments and remain at the sustain decay segment. This is exactly the same
as holding down the note on the keyboard. When the Sustain Pedal parameter is
turned off, the Sustain Pedal will have no effect on the envelope.
Level (00 to 99)
This is the overall output level of the envelope. If this is set to 00, the AENV will have
no output and will have no effect, while at 99 it will have a maximum effect on
whatever it is being routed to. Tip: When selecting AENV Level as a modulation
destination, set the AENV level to 00 if the Modulation Level is above 0 (or, set the
AENV level to 99 if the Modulation Amount is below 0).
