Chapter 6: Modulation and Envelopes
Positive Values: If
double in speed with each octave above Middle C, and halve in speed with each
octave below Middle C.
Negative Values: If
speed with each octave below Middle C, and halve in speed with each octave above
Middle C. Negative values have reverse effect of positive settings.

LOOP Page Parameters

Each of the three envelopes has the ability to loop – repeat selected stages over and
over. The parameters in the Loop page allow you specify how the loop behaves:
• When it starts: as the envelope proceeds through its stages – according to the
settings in the
envelope when looping starts. As an example, you can set the envelope to
start looping when the
below.
• Where it starts looping: once the loop is instructed to start, you specify the
stage of the envelope where the loop begins. As an example, you can set the
loop's start point to be the
• How the looping continues: you can instruct the loop to repeat a specific
number of times (from 1 to 240), repeat until you release the key (or a MIDI
Note Off is received), repeat as long as the Sustain Pedal is down, or cycle
infinitely.

Envelope looping simply instructs an envelope to repeat a certain stage or stages.
You can set up a loop to repeat only one stage – for example
available stages –
