56/Peak Level vs (00-31)
The VELOCITY SENSITIVE PEAK LEVEL parameter makes the maximum peak level
dependent on key velocity. At VALUE 0, key velocity will not effect the peak level. Increasing
the value will make the peak level more sensitive to key velocity (increased velocity will raise
the peak level).
57/Keyboard Decay Scaling (00-31)
A parameter that makes the decay rate of the amplitude envelope dependent on the location of
the key. This permits the note to have a longer decay on lower notes than on higher notes. At
VALUE 0 it will have no effect on the decay setting. Increasing the value will shorten the decay
time of higher notes.
58/Sustain Level vs (00-31)
The VELOCITY SENSITIVE SUSTAIN LEVEL parameter makes the sustain level dependent
on key velocity. At VALUE 0, key velocity will have no effect on sustain level. Increasing the
value will make the sustain level more sensitive to key velocity (increased velocity will raise the
sustain level).
59/Release Rate vs (00-31)
The VELOCITY SENSITIVE RELEASE RATE parameter makes the release rate dependent on
release velocity. At VALUE 0 velocity will have no effect on release rate. Increasing the value
will make the release rate more sensitive to key- up velocity (increased key-up velocity will
shorten the release rate).
The sampling parameters (60 through 77) will control the entry and manipulation of the
wavesample selected by parameter 26. Since Mirage sampling is a computer driven function,
very specific directions must be given to the Mirage to obtain the best samples.
Sampling is an art as much as it is a science. At Ensoniq, many hours of effort and a great deal of
care go into creating the sounds provided on Ensoniq Sound Diskettes. Don't be disappointed if
your initial samples aren't quite as good. The Advanced Sampler's Guide, available from your
Ensoniq dealer, combined with your growing experience, will help you get better sounds.
26/Wavesample Select (1-8)
A sampling parameter that will select one of eight possible wavesamples for each keyboard half.
Once selected, this wavesample will be controlled by parameters 60 through 75 until the next
wavesample is selected, or the active keyboard half is changed. Before beginning to work with a
wavesample, press 0/Prog to make sure the proper half (upper or lower) is selected.
