Slope [0L (Linear), 1...9, 10E (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Slope segment - the transition
from the Break level to the Sustain level (which for the Pitch
EG is always 0).
Rel (Release) [0L (Linear), 1...9, 10E (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Release segment - the
transition from the Sustain level to the Release level.
2–8c: EG Level/Time Modulation
L (Level)
These settings let you use two different AMS sources to
control the Level parameters of the EG. For each of the two
AMS sources, the Start, Attack, Decay, and Break levels each
have their own modulation intensities.
By using different settings for each of the three levels, you
can cause both subtle and dramatic changes to the EG shape,
as shown below.
Note: Once the EG has started a segment between two
points, that segment can no longer be modulated. This
includes both the time of the segment, and the level reached
at the end of the segment.
For instance, if the EG is in the middle of the Decay time,
you can no longer modulate either the Decay time or the
Break level.
This also means that modulating the Start level, Attack level,
or Attack time will not affect notes that are already
sounding, unless the EG is then re-started via EG Reset.

Negative AMS on Start, Positive AMS on Start and Break,
Attack, and Break Negative AMS on Attack
AMS1
AMS1
This selects the first AMS source to control the EG's Level
parameters.
For a list of AMS sources, please see "AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List" on page 588.
St (Start)
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Start level.
For example, if you set the AMS1 source to Velocity and set
St to +99, the Start level will increase as you play harder. If
you instead set St to –99, the Start level will decrease as you
play harder.
At (Attack)
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Attack level.

Attack, and Break

PROG P2: OSC/Pitch 2–8: Pitch EG
Br (Break)
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Break level.
AMS2
This selects the second AMS source for controlling the EG's
Level parameters. The Start, Attack, Decay, and Break levels
share this source, but each has its own modulation intensity.
The parameters ofAMS2 are identical to those of AMS1,
above.
T (Time)
These settings let you use an AMS source to control the Time
parameters of the EG. The Attack, Decay, and Slope times
share this AMS source, but each has its own modulation
intensity.

AMS
AMS
This selects the AMS source to control the EG's Time
parameters. Velocity and Keyboard Track can both be useful
here, for instance.
For a list of AMS sources, please see "AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List" on page 588.
At (Attack)
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Attack time.
For example, if you set the AMS source to Velocity and set
Attack to +99, the Attack time will get much longer at higher
velocities. If you instead set Attack to –99, the Attack time
will get much shorter at higher velocities.
When the AMS source is at its maximum value–for instance,
when Velocity is at 127–a setting of +8 will make the Attack
time almost twice as long, and a setting of –8 will cut the
Attack time almost in half.
Dc (Decay)
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Decay time.
Sl (Slope)
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Slope time.
