Eg (Envelope Generator) Parameters - Attack Time And Release Time - Yamaha MU15 Owner's Manual

EG (Envelope Generator) Parameters —
The EG parameters allow you to shape the sound of a Part's Voice — or, in
other words, set how the level and timbre of the Voice changes over time.
The relationship of the two EG parameters — Attack Time and Release Time —
are shown in the illustrations below. These parameters affect both the volume
of the Voice and its timbre (with the Filter parameters; page 50).
1) Short Attack and Release Times
2) Long Attack and Release Times
Even though the key is held for the same length of time in both
examples, the sound of the second example takes a much longer
time to reach full volume and sustains longer after the key is re-
leased.
