Poly Key Timer - E-Mu ProteusX Operation Manual

The Channel Lags could be used to slowly increase or decrease the speed of an
LFO which in turn controls some other effect, perhaps left/right panning, pitch,
or the filter. When a MIDI footswitch is used as the input, the lag acts to slow
down the instantaneous change of the switch. The slowly changing output value
can then be routed using a patchcord to crossfade between voices or change the
speed of an LFO.

Poly Key Timer

This processor starts a timer which begins counting down whenever a key is
pressed and stops when the key is released. The value of this timer can be used on
any voices assigned to the key after the key release. The Poly Key Timer is a
special modulation source controlled by the key and not the voice.
Poly Key Timer can be used to control the volume of a Release Layer in order to reduce
its volume the longer a key is held. This control is commonly used on grand piano
presets to lower the pedal damper volume the longer the keys are held.
