EG Curve
Curve = 0 (Linear)
Attack [0 (Linear), 1...9, 10 (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Attack segment - the
transition from the Start level to the Attack level.
Decay [0 (Linear), 1...9, 10 (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Decay segment - the
transition from the Attack level to the Break level.
Slope [0 (Linear), 1...9, 10 (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Slope segment - the
transition from the Break level to the Sustain level.
Release [0 (Linear), 1...9, 10 (Exp/Log)]
This sets the curvature of the Release segment - the
transition from the Sustain level to the Release level.
7–1c: Level Modulation
These settings let you use an AMS source to control the
Level parameters of the EG. The Start, Attack, and
Break levels share a single AMS source, but can each
have different modulation intensities.
By using different settings for each of the three levels,
you can cause both subtle and dramatic changes to the
EG shape, as shown below.
EG Level Modulation
Original Shape
Negative AMS on Start, Positive AMS on Start and Break,
Attack, and Break
Once an EG segment begins, it can't be modulated
Once the EG has started a segment between two
points, that segment can no longer be modulated. This
includes both the time of the segment, and the level
reached at the end of the segment.
Curve = 0 (Linear)
Curve = 10 (Exp/Log)
Curve = 10 (Exp/Log)
Positive AMS on Start,
Attack, and Break
Negative AMS on Attack
Program P7: EG 1-4
For instance, if the EG is in the middle of the Decay
time, you can no longer modulate either the Decay
time or the Break level.
As another example, let's say that you've assigned the
Common LFO to modulate Break Level. The LFO may
be moving all the time, but the Break Level is only
affected by the LFO's value at the instant that the
Decay segment starts. After that, the level is fixed.
Finally, this also means that modulating the Start level,
Attack level, or Attack time will not affect notes that
are already sounding, unless the EG is then reset via
AMS.
AMS
This selects an AMS source to control the EG's Level
parameters.
For a list of AMS sources, see "AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List" on page 967.
Start
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Start level.
For example, if you set the AMS source to Velocity and
set Start to +99, the Start level will increase as you play
harder. If you instead set Start to –99, the Start level
will decrease as you play harder.
Attack
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Attack level.
Break
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation for the Break level.
7–1d: Time Modulation
These settings let you use three different AMS sources
to control the Time parameters of the EG. For each of
the three AMS sources, the Attack, Decay, Slope, and
Release times each have their own modulation
intensities.
EG Time Modulation
AMS=Velocity, Intensity = a positive (+) value
Note-on Note-off Note-on
"Attack"=+, "Decay"=+, "Attack"=+, "Decay"=+,
"Slope"=+, "Release"=+ "Slope"=+, "Release"=+
Softly played note. Stongly played note.
Original Shape Times are longer.
Reaches Sustainmore
slowly.
AMS1
Selects the first AMS source to control the EG's Time
parameters. Velocity and Keyboard Track can both be
useful here, for instance.
For a list of AMS sources, see "AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List" on page 967.
