The LAYER Page
When the Sustain Pedal parameter is set to Off, notes will not respond to sustain messages.
When the Sustain Pedal parameter is set to On, any note that is played or is already playing
when the pedal is pressed and held will be sustained for as long as the pedal is held. This
setting is useful for piano sounds that do not respond to half damper pedal techniques.
When the Sustain Pedal parameter is set to On2, any note that is played while the pedal is
pressed and held will be sustained for as long as the pedal is held, unless the notes have been
released. Notes that are already playing the release segment of their amplitude envelope will
not be sustained. This is useful for most instrument sounds other than piano, where notes
may have a long amplitude envelope release time. For example, for a string or synth sound
that may have a long release time, use On2 to prevent previously released notes from being
sustained.
When the Sustain Pedal parameter is set to On3, any note that is played or is already playing
when the pedal is pressed and held will be sustained for as long as the pedal is held. The
On3 setting also enables the use of half damper pedal techniques when using a compatible
continuous switch pedal (such as the Kurzweil KP-1H). On3 emulates the behavior of an
acoustic piano's sustain pedal by increasing the release portion of the current layer's amplitude
envelope as the pedal is pressed down, before becoming fully sustained. This allows you to
use a sustain pedal to control note release length and sustain. This setting is useful for piano
sounds that respond to half damper pedal techniques.
Sostenuto Pedal
The Sostenuto Pedal parameter determines how the layer will respond sostenuto messages
(MIDI CC 66), typically sent from the sostenuto pedal (the SW 2 jack).
When the Sostenuto Pedal parameter is set to Off, notes will not respond to sostenuto
messages.
When the Sostenuto Pedal parameter is set to On, any keys that are being held when the
pedal is pressed and held will sustain for as long as the pedal is held. Notes played after the
pedal is already down do not get sustained.
Freeze Pedal
The Freeze Pedal parameter determines how the layer will respond freeze messages (MIDI
CC 69).
When the Freeze Pedal parameter is set to Off, notes will not respond to freeze messages.
When the Freeze Pedal parameter is set to On, any note that is played or is already playing
when MIDI CC 69 is received with a value of 64-127 will sustain without decay, until MIDI
CC 69 is received with a value of 0-63. If a note is already decaying, it will freeze at that
level.
