Slope [0L (Linear), 1...9, 10E (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Slope segment ‐ the transition
from the Break level to the Sustain level (which for the Pitch
EG is always 0).
Release [0L (Linear), 1...9, 10E (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Release segment ‐ the transi‐
tion from the Sustain level to the Release level.
Level Modulation
These settings let you use two different AMS sources to con‐
trol the Level parameters of the EG. For each of the two
AMS sources, the Start, Attack, Decay, and Break levels each
have their own modulation intensities.
By using different settings for each of the three levels, you
can cause both subtle and dramatic changes to the EG
shape, as shown below.
Note: Once the EG has started a segment between two
points, that segment can no longer be modulated. This
includes both the time of the segment, and the level reached
at the end of the segment.
For instance, if the EG is in the middle of the Decay time,
you can no longer modulate either the Decay time or the
Break level.
This also means that modulating the Start level, Attack
level, or Attack time will not affect notes that are already
sounding, unless the EG is then re‐started via EG Reset.

AMS1
Source
This selects the first AMS source to control the EG's Level
parameters.
For a list of AMS sources, please see "AMS (Alternate Mod‐
ulation Source) List" on page 121.
Start
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modula‐
tion for the Start level.
For example, if you set the AMS1 source to Velocity and set
St to +99, the Start level will increase as you play harder. If
you set the Start to –99 instead, the Start level will decrease
as you play harder.
Attack
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modula‐
tion for the Attack level.
Break
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modula‐
tion for the Break level.
Positive AMS on Start,
Attack, and Break

AMS2
This selects the second AMS source for controlling the EG's
Level parameters. The Start, Attack, Decay, and Break levels
share this source, but each has its own modulation intensity.
The parameters ofAMS2 are identical to those of AMS1,
above.
Time Modulation
These settings let you use an AMS source to control the
Time parameters of the EG. The Attack, Decay, and Slope
times share this AMS source, but each has its own modula‐
tion intensity.

AMS
Source
This selects the AMS source to control the EG's Time param‐
eters. Velocity and Keyboard Track can both be useful here,
for instance.
For a list of AMS sources, please see "Alternate Modulation
Source (AMS)" on page 121.
Attack
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modula‐
tion for the Attack time.
For example, if you set the AMS source to Velocity and set
Attack to +99, the Attack time will get much longer at higher
velocities. If you set the Attack to –99 instead, the Attack
time will get much shorter at higher velocities.
When the AMS source is at its maximum value–for instance,
when Velocity is at 127–a setting of +8 will make the Attack
time almost twice as long, and a setting of –8 will cut the
Attack time almost in half.
Decay
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modula‐
tion for the Decay time.
Slope
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS modula‐
tion for the Slope time.
EG Reset
AMS Source
This selects an AMS source to reset the EG to the start point.
For instance, you can use a tempo‐synced LFO to trigger the
EG in a repeating rhythm. This reset is in addition to the ini‐
tial note‐on, which always causes th"Alternate Modulation
Source (AMS)" on page 121.
