The PITCH Page

Hold Through Attack (ThrAtt)

When on, this parameter causes all notes in the layer to sustain through the entire first attack
segment of their amplitude envelopes, even if the notes have been released. If you have a sound
with a slow attack, or an attack that's delayed with the delay control, setting this parameter to
On will make sure your notes reach full amplitude even if you're playing fast. When set to Off,
notes will release as soon as you release the note (generate a Note Off). If the first attack segment
of the layer's amplitude envelope is very short, you probably won't notice a difference between
values of On and Off.

Hold Until Decay (TilDec)

When on, this parameter causes all notes in the layer to sustain through all three attack
segments in their amplitude envelopes even if the notes have been released. Looped amplitude
envelopes will not loop, however, if the notes are released before reaching the end of the final
attack segment. Notes will go into their normal releases if they are released after the envelope
has looped. When set to Off, notes will release as soon as a Note Off message is generated.
