1: Pressure

• Each VL1 voice has its own pressure envelope which determines how it
responds to pressure changes. The parameters in this display page determine
how the pressure envelope is used and how it will respond to keyboard veloc-
ity.
EG Mode
This parameter determines whether or how the pressure envelope will be used.

Attack Rate Offset
Adjusts the attack rate of the voice's pressure evelope. Positive values produce a
faster attack while negative values produce a slower attack.
Release Rate Offset
Adjusts the release rate of the voice's pressure evelope. Positive values produce a
faster release while negative values produce a slower release.
Velocity Sens To Level
Determines the relationship between pressure and keyboard velocity. When set to
"0", keyboard velocity (i.e. how fast or hard the keyboard is played) has no effect on
pressure. At values higher than "1", however, high keyboard velocities will increase the
pressure and low keyboard velocities will decrease the pressure. The higher the value the
greater the effect of keyboard velocity on pressure.
Edit Mode
The voice's pressure envelope is not used, and pressure always
corresponds exactly to the position or value of the controller assigned
to pressure. If no controller is assigned the pressure is always maxi-
mum. In this case the "Attack Rate Offset", "Release Rate
Offset", "Velocity Sens To Level", and "Velocity Sens To
Rate" parameters have no effect.
Pressure responds according to the attack, decay, sustain, and release
settings of the voice's pressure envelope.
Pressure responds according to the attack and release settings of the
voice's pressure envelope. The decay and sustain settings are ignored.
