With the two ADSR CONTOUR GENERATORS, it's easy to see that there are many possible
combinations of settings. Experiment. At first, try setting both CONTOUR GENERATORS the same
way so that the effect of each control is obvious. As you get more familiar with the controls and their
effects, try different combinations. Maybe a slow attack on the FILTER and a fast attack on the
AMPLIFIER. Maybe a high sustain and release on the FILTER. The possibilities are virtually endless.
Also note that unless you have the CONTOUR AMOUNT control (8.4) turned up, the FILTER's
CONTOUR GENERATOR will not control the CUTOFF simply because the CONTOUR AMOUNT
control attenuates (limits) the signal from the CONTOUR GENERATOR. When it's set at 0, no con-
trol voltage is let through.
CONTOUR MODE CONTROLS
In between the two sets of ADSR controls are four switches (10.0), one of which is the RELEASE
SWITCH (8.9), mentioned above. These switches affect both CONTOUR GENERATORS.
RETURN TO ZERO (10.1) governs the way that the attack time responds when triggers are sent to
the same voice repeatedly before the entire ADSR cycle has been completed. With this switch off,
striking a note: repeatedly (make sure you're ina KEYBOARD MODE [1.7] with MEMORY — KB
MODE 2 or 4) will cause the attack time to start from the level it had attained before the new trigger
was received. With the switch on, retriggering a voice at any time during the attack stage will reset the
voltage to zero and start the contour over from the beginning.
