VOLTAGE CONTROLLED AMPLIFIER
play a chromatic scale up the keyboard, first with the KEYBOARD FOLLOW switch (10.3) off, and
then with it on. Hold the notes down a bit. When you have the KEYBOARD FOLLOW switch on,
notice that the lower notes seem to sustain longer than the higher ones. That's because the KEYBOARD
Vy FOLLOW switch causes the attack, decay, and release times of the CONTOURS to get proportionally
shorter as you play higher on the keyboard. This mimics the sustain properties of acoustic instruments
like the piano and guitar in that their higher notes have less sustain than their lower notes.
