Eg Forced Damp - Yamaha DX7 II FD Authorized Product Manual

EG Forced Damp

Even though the DX is a 16-voice synthesizer, these voices can be used up quickly when
you are in Dual Mode (or when you use a Sustain Footswitch pedal). When you do exceed
the DX's note capacity, the first notes played will stop sounding to make way for the new
notes being played.
Under normal operating conditions, the DX considers these new notes to be continuations
of the first notes; therefore, the initial portions of the attack envelope will not be
retriggered:
Under normal conditions,
the DX's envelope
acts this way.
If you wish to avoid this effect, turn the Forced Damping function on. It will force the
envelope to retrigger for each new note played:
EG Forced Damping On
Using the EG Forced Damping
parameter, the envelope is
forced to retrigger itself for
each new note played.
* 17th note in the case of single play mode.
