EG SELECT
EGiPITCH
EG
This switch determines
whether
the
envelope
generator of the currently selected
operator, or the overall pitch
envelope generator
for
the voice (the
PITCH EG
affects
all
operators simultaneoulsy)
is
to
be
edited using the
ENVELOPE
GENERATOR
switches.
Consecutive
presses
on
this
switch
alternate
between
the operator
and
pitch
envelope generator
displays.
Once
the desired envelope generator
is
selected,
its
values are set using the
ENVELOPE
GENERATOR
switches, described below.
In
the
case
of the
PITCH
EG,
the
envelope generator
LEVEL
1
through
4
parameters
correspond
to different frequencies,
while the
RATE
parameters determine
the
rate
of
change between
frequencies.
A
LEVEL
setting of
50 produces
standard
pitch,
settings
below 50 produce
a
lower
pitch,
and
settings
above 50 produce
a
higher
pitch.
A
setting of
produces
a
pitch
4
octaves
below
standard
pitch
and
a
setting
of
99 produces
a
pitch
4
octaves higher than standard
pitch.
When
the
PITCH EG
is
not to
be
used,
all
PITCH EG LEVEL
parameters should be
set to 50.
ENVELOPE GENERATOR:
R1, R2, R3, R4,
L1, L2, L3,
L4
These
switches
select
the
specific
envelope
generator parameters
to
be worked
on:
RATE
1
through
RATE
4,
and LEVEL
1
through
LEVEL
4.
The
data
range
for
both
RATE
and
LEVEL
parameters
is
through
99. For the
RATE
parameters
is
the fastest
and 99
the slowest.
For the
LEVEL
parameters
is
minimum
and 99
is
maximum
level.
The
following
EG
curve
shows
the relationship
between
the
RATE
and
LEVEL
parameters.
