Controlling the volume
The* VCA* (Voltage* Controlled* Amplifier)* and* EG*
(Envelope*Generator)*let*you*specify*how*the*volume*
will*change*over*time,*from*the*beginning*of*the*note*
to*when*it*decays*to*silence.*Lengthening*the*ATTACK*
TIME*will*make*the*note*begin*slowly,*and*lengthening*
the*RELEASE*TIME*will*make*the*note*end*slowly.
4.
Creating time-varying change
In*addition*to*using*the*EG*(Envelope*Generator)*to*
vary*the*volume*over*time,*you*can*also*use*it*to*apply*
time-varying*change*to*the*pitch*or*tone.*For*example,*
you*could*make*the*pitch*fall*when*the*note*begins,*or*
make*the*tone*brighten*gradually.*In*a*similar*way,*you*
can*use*the*MG*(Modulation*Generator)*to*apply*cyclical*
change*to*the*pitch,*tone,*or*volume.

Polyphonic step sequencer
1.
Specifying the note timing
The*step*switches*determine*the*timing*of*the*notes,*and*
the*GATE*slider*determines*the*duration*of*the*notes.*Steps*
where*the*GATE*is*set*at*25%*or*higher*will*be*sounded.
2.
Specifying the notes that sound
The* step* switches* and* the* OCTAVE* ZONE* buttons*
specify*the*notes*that*will*sound.*The*13*step*switches*
in*each*column*correspond*to*one*octave.*To*create*a*
phrase,*use*the*OCTAVE*ZONE*buttons*to*specify*the*
octave,*and*turn*on*the*desired*switches*for*each*step*to*
specify*the*pitches*that*will*sound.
