Explanation
The same as ATTACK described
in page 38.
Adjusts the decay time (the time
from when the attack has
finished until the volume reaches
the level at which it will remain
as long as you hold down the
key). Higher settings produce a
longer decay time.
The same as RELEASE described
in page 38.
Adjusts the modulation speed of
vibrato. Higher settings produce
faster vibrato.
Adjusts the modulation depth
vibrato. Higher settings produce
more intense vibrato.
Adjusts the time until vibrato begins.
Higher settings produce a longer
delay until vibrato will begin.
Only the last-played note will
sound. This setting is effective
when playing a solo instrument
patch such as sax or flute.
Two or more notes can be
played simultaneously.
Uses the Tone's Mono/Poly setting.
This setting specifies whether the
Legato Switch will be used (ON)
or not (OFF). Legato Switch is
valid when the Mono/Poly
parameter is set to "MONO."
With the Legato Switch "ON,"
pressing a key while continuing
to press a previous key causes
the note to change pitch to the
pitch of the most recently pressed
key, sounding all the while. This
creates a smooth transition
between notes, which is effective
when you wish to simulate the
hammering on and pulling-off
techniques used by a guitarist.
When "TONE" is selected, the
Tone's own settings take effect.
