Amplitude EG Rate Parameters (Rate)
The Amplitude EG (envelope generator) parameters allow
you to shape how the level of the Voice changes over time.
By pressing & from this page, you can select the graphic
Amp EG Edit page, for more detailed editing of the EG
parameters. (See page 55.)
Keep in mind that the EG parameters affect each other, and
are affected by how long a note is held. For example, if
Decay is set to a low value and the note is held for a long
time, you may not be able to hear changes made to the
Release parameter. Also keep in mind that the EG param-
eters may have little or no effect, depending on the particu-
lar Voice selected.
L Attack Rate (Amp EG Atk Rate)
Range: 0 — 63
This determines the Attack rate of the EG, or how long it
takes for the sound to reach full volume when a note is
played.
L Decay 1 Rate (Amp EG Dcy1 Rate)
Range: 0 — 63
This determines the first Decay rate of the EG, or how
rapidly the sound goes to the Decay 1 Level setting. (See
page 56.)
L Decay 2 Rate (Amp EG Dcy2 Rate)
Range: 0 — 63
This determines the second Decay rate of the EG, or how
rapidly the sound goes to the Decay 2 Level setting. (See
page 56.)

Pressing & from the Amp menu selects the

L Release Rate (Amp EG Rel Rate)
Range: 0 — 63
This determines the Release rate of the EG, or how long the
sound sustains after a note is released.
Pan
Range: -7 (left) — 0 (center) — 7 (right); 8 (scaling)
This determines the pan setting for the Element, or its
placement in the stereo image. A setting of 8 (scaling)
results in the pan setting being tracked across the keyboard,
with left - right corresponding to low - high. In other
words, the lower the note, the greater the sound is panned
to the left; the higher the note, the greater the sound is
panned to the right.
Velocity Limit Low/High (Vel.Lim L/H)
Range: 0 — 127
This determines the velocity range over which an Element
can be played. Velocities played outside the range will not
be sounded by the Element. This can be used to set up
velocity splits among the Elements, in which different
Elements sound depending on how hard or soft you play
the keyboard.
In the display, the left parameter dial is Velocity Limit
Low (which determines the softest responding velocity),
and the right is Velocity Limit High (which determines the
hardest responding velocity).
