8 BPM Sync
To set the length of an envelope segment quickly: While on page 1, hold [SHIFT] and
press the appropriate Control button for the desired length of time. This works with BPM
On or Off.
BPM Sync settings
When the BPM Sync parameter is set to On, all
of the segments with durations are measured
in rhythmic values. This includes the Delay,
Attack, Hold, Decay, and Release stages of the
envelope. A duration can be set to 0, which
means it happens instantly and therefore has
no rhythmic value.
All other settings have a quantized duration
ranging from 1/64T (a sixty-fourth note triplet)
to 64' (64 quarter notes, or 16 measures in 4/4
time). Dotted values are also available. The
chart on the right contains examples of how
the values are shown:
BPM = Off: 0 ms to 36.0 seconds
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to 64' (16
measures)
BPM = Off: 0 ms to 60.0 seconds
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to 64' (16
measures)
0.0 to 128.0
BPM = Off: 0 ms to 60.0 seconds
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to 64' (16
measures)
BPM = Off: 0 ms to 32.0 seconds
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to 64' (16
measures)
BPM = Off: 0 ms to 36.0 seconds
BPM = On: 0, 1/64T to 64' (16
measures)

Description
After the delay period, this
is the length of time the
envelope takes to reach its full
amplitude.
After the hold period, this
is the length of time the
envelope takes to reach its
sustain level.
The resting level of the
envelope prior to note off
The length of time the
envelope takes to reach its
zero point after note off
The length of time before the
attack segment begins
The length of time between
the attack and decay segments
-
Toggles all envelope segments
from seconds to synchronized
time divisions.
