Yamaha DX9 Operating Manual page 16

The parameters which determine the "shape" of the enve-
lope are RATE 1 through RATE 4 and LEVEL 1 through
LEVEL 4. The RATE parameters determine how long it
takes the envelope to reach one LEVEL from another.
The envelope applied to each operator can be set individual-
ly, permitting an essentially infinite range of envelope
combinations.

RATE:
Pressing the key successively selects RATE para-
meters 1 through 4. Each RATE parameters can be set
from 0 to 99, А O setting produces the longest (slowest)
RATE, and a 99 setting produces the fastest RATE.
LEVEL:
Pressing the key successively selects LEVEL
parameters 1 through 4. Each LEVEL parameter can be
set from O to 99. O is no output, while 99 is maximum
level.
€ Normally LEVEL 4 will be set at "0". In this case
LEVEL 1 should be greater than "50" to ensure proper
EG operation.

The EG RATE and LEVEL parameters can be varied as
the frequency of the notes increases.

RATE:
The EG RATE of each operator can be set to get shorter
as the frequency of the notes increases -- similar to a piano.
RATE can be set from O to 7.
LEVEL:
The EG LEVEL of each operator can be set to decrease as
the frequency of the notes increases.
LEVEL can be set from O to 99.

LEVEL
Permits setting the output level of each operator.
OUTPUT LEVEL:
Controls overall EG level, like the EG DEPTH controls in
conventional synthesizers. OUTPUT LEVEL can be set
between O and 99.
For example, if a specific operator is found to be unneces-
sary once a voice has been created, its output level can be
set to 0.
€ Since the OPERATOR ON-OFF function operates
only in the EDIT mode and OPERATOR ON-OFF
data is not stored in memory, the OUTPUT LEVEL of
all unnecessary operators should be set to 0.
This value will change ME.
In order to maintain constant overall output level even
when changing algorithms, the output level of al! the
carrier operators have been preset to a suitable value.

TRANSPOSE
Transposes pitch over a +1 octave range in semitone steps
with C3 as standard. Press the , and
then the keyboard key corresponding to the desired
amount of transposition according to the illustration on
page 16. To transpose up one octave, for example, press
{пе | KEY TRANSPOSE | key and then press C4 on the key-
board.
