Velocity (Keyboard Velocity Tracking)
This parameter determines the extent to which the note velocity,
or how hard you hit the key, affects the envelope. When set to
0%, the envelope always comes out full-strength, regardless of
how lightly you hit the key. When set to 100%, the amplitude of
the envelope directly matches the velocity, and very light
keystrokes will result in very weak envelopes. Parameter values in
the middle scale accordingly.
In all cases, a hard keystroke produces a strong envelope. This
parameter just lets you choose the envelope strength for weak
keystrokes.
Reset
on every note
Whenever you press a key, the envelope starts at the beginning.
unless legato
If you play one note while holding down another, the new note's
envelope starts at the current position of the held note.
Freerun
This parameter determines the how the envelope treats its sustain
portion. If set to off, then the envelope transitions from the attack
stage to the decay stage to the sustain stage, as long as you are
holding the key down. As soon as you take your finger off the key,
the envelope will move into the
"off" "on"
release stage. If this parameter is set to on, then there is no sustain
stage—the envelope transitions from attack to decay to release.
Furthermore, it doesn't matter how long you hold down the key;
the envelope always follows this fixed-length program.
If you are using the Loop feature of the envelope, this parameter
will have further effects on the envelope behavior, and these will
be discussed below.
