the ATTACK knob to minimum to disable the attack portion of the
envelope. The attack time range is 4 ms to 8 seconds in mono mode.
4. DECAY Knob – Sets the staccato or fade-out speed of the volume
envelopes. As you turn DECAY clockwise the decay time increases. Turn
the DECAY knob to maximum to disable the decay portion of the envelope.
The decay time range is 4 ms to 8 seconds in mono mode.
5. POLY Button – Press and release to toggle between mono and poly
modes. When the POLY button is lit, poly mode is engaged.
6. SENS Mini Knob
MONO (POLY OFF): While using the Attack Decay with POLY off, the SENS
knob sets the threshold at which a new pluck is detected at the INPUT
jack thus triggering the start or restart of the volume envelope.
 As SENS is turned clockwise, the more easily your playing will trigger
an envelope reset.
 Each time the volume envelope is triggered, the attack portion of the
envelope runs first and then is immediately followed by the decay
portion of the envelope.
POLY ON: When POLY is enabled the SENS knob has a similar function as
in Mono mode but over a limited range.
 The higher SENS is turned, the more easily a new note will trigger the
Attack portion of a note's volume envelope.
 While POLY is enabled, the SENS knob is only in play when both the
ATTACK and the DECAY knobs are not set to their off positions.
 When SENS is set to maximum—while in POLY mode—it is normal for
bubbling noises to be produced by the volume envelopes.
7. HARMONIX Mini Knob – Adjusts the gain and saturation amount of
the Attack Decay's internal distortion section. The H LED must be lit for
the HARMONIX knob to be active.
8. TONE Mini Knob – Sets the tone of the Harmonix section. As the
TONE knob is turned clockwise, the distortion's tone gets brighter. The H
LED must be lit for the TONE knob to be active.
9. H.VOL Mini Knob – Sets the output volume of the Harmonix section.
The H LED must be lit for the H.VOL knob to be active.
10. PRESET Buttons 1, 2, & 3 – Press and release to load and unload
the first, second, or third preset. Press and hold for two seconds to save
the sound you currently hear to a preset.
